Donte Jackson News
The Pittsburgh Steelers acquired cornerback Donte Jackson and pick No. 178 in this year's NFL draft on Tuesday from the Carolina Panthers in exchange for wide receiver Diontae Johnson and pick No. 240 overall in this year's draft, according to sources. If the Panthers hadn't traded the 28-year-old Jackson, he was likely going to be a salary cap casualty this offseason. The former second-round selection by Carolina in 2018 out of LSU will give the Steelers an experienced corner that should start across from second-year corner Joey Porter. Jackson has 14 career interceptions in six NFL seasons, but he had none in 2023 while also adding 59 tackles (49 solo), five tackles for loss, five passes defended and a forced fumble in 16 starts. Fantasy managers can ignore him in IDP leagues.

Panthers Expected To Trade Or Release Donte Jackson
The Carolina Panthers are expected to trade or release veteran cornerback Donte Jackson, according to sources. Jackson has a $4 million roster bonus due on March 16, which would spur action. His release would save the team $5.9 million in the 2024 salary cap. The 28-year-old former second-round pick by Carolina in 2018 out of LSU has accumulated 303 tackles (248 solo), one sack, 15 tackles for loss, 14 interceptions (one returned for a touchdown), 46 passes defensed, three forced fumbles and one fumble recovery in his six years with the Panthers. In what will be his final season with the team, Jackson contributed 59 tackles (49 solo), five tackles for loss and a forced fumble in 16 games in 2023.

Donte Jackson Injures Shoulder In Week 4 Loss

Donte Jackson, Vonn Bell Not Practicing
Carolina Panthers cornerback Donte Jackson (Achilles), safety Vonn Bell (hamstring) and offensive guard Chandler Zavala (pectoral) all missed Tuesday's minicamp practice due to injuries. Jackson and Zavala should be ready to go for training camp at the end of July, according to head coach Frank Reich. Jackson tore his Achilles in Week 10 last year and ended the year on Injured Reserve. When healthy, the 27-year-old should return to a starting role on the outside opposite Jaycee Horn. Bell's injury isn't serious, so he could return at some point during minicamp. The 28-year-old signed a three-year, $22.5 million deal with Carolina in free agency, and he should start alongside Xavier Woods in the team's secondary when he's healthy.

Donte Jackson Out For Season With Torn Achilles
Carolina Panthers cornerback Donte Jackson (Achilles) will miss the remainder of the 2022 season, the team reported on Friday. Jackson limped off the field late in Thursday night's win over the Atlanta Falcons and underwent an MRI that confirmed he had torn his Achilles. The 2018 second-round NFL Draft pick is a team captain and recorded 35 total tackles along with two interceptions and a defensive touchdown through the first 10 weeks of the year. Third-year pro C.J. Henderson is expected to replace Jackson in the starting lineup going forward.

Panthers Re-Sign Donte Jackson To Three-Year Deal
The Carolina Panthers re-signed cornerback Donte Jackson to an undisclosed three-year deal on Saturday. Jackson missed the final five games of last season with a core muscle injury that required surgery after he ended the year on Injured Reserve. He finished with 61 tackles, 10 passes defensed and two interceptions in 12 games played for Carolina. The 26-year-old will return in 2022 for his fifth season with the team after he was taken in the second round of the 2018 draft out of LSU. Jackson's return probably means that Stephon Gilmore will not be back for a second season in Carolina. Jackson will start again this year across from Jaycee Horn.

Donte Jackson Placed On Injured Reserve, Out For Season
Carolina Panthers cornerback Donte Jackson (groin) has been placed on injured reserve. Jackson was hurt in Sunday's blowout loss to the Miami Dolphins, and an MRI revealed an injury significant enough to put him on the sidelines for the remainder of the season. After recording two interceptions this season, Jackson will have potentially played his last game with the Panthers as he is an unrestricted free agent this offseason. The Panthers will now be with Stephon Gilmore, A.J. Bouye, and C.J. Henderson as their top cornerbacks, while rookie Jaycee Horn continues to be held out action.
