Commanders Add Tight End Tyree Jackson To Practice Squad
The Washington Commanders signed tight end Tyree Jackson to the practice squad on Tuesday, according to team reporter John Keim. With Zach Ertz (concussion) in the concussion protocol, the team might need another body at the position ahead of the Week 16 matchup with the Philadelphia Eagles. Jackson, who played quarterback in college at Buffalo, last played in 2021. He appeared in nine games for the Philadelphia Eagles and caught three passes for 22 yards and a touchdown. Needless to say, he is not expected to be on the fantasy football radar even if he's elevated to the active roster for Sunday's NFC East showdown. Rookie Ben Sinnott will start at tight end if Ertz cannot play.
Tyree Jackson Leads Philadelphia In Receiving Thursday Night
Philadelphia Eagles tight end Tyree Jackson caught both of his targets and gained 41 yards during the team's 18-18 preseason tie with the Cleveland Browns. The 25-year-old tore his ACL at the end of the 2021 season and failed to net a reception in 2022. The fact that Philadelphia brought him back this offseason to a crowded tight-end room shows that they believe he is talented, and he showed his explosiveness on a completion deep up the right side of the field for 35 yards in the fourth quarter Thursday night. However, with Dan Arnold and second-year tight end Grant Calcaterra likely making the final 53-man roster, Jackson will have a tough time surviving cutdowns unless he absolutely explodes next week against the Colts. Expect Jackson to land on the Eagles practice squad by the time the regular season rolls around.
Philadelphia Eagles tight end Tyree Jackson (knee) and offensive lineman Brett Toth will both begin training camp on the Physically Unable to Perform list, according to a source. If they remain on the PUP list during the start of the regular season, they'll be forced to miss the first four weeks of the season. At 6-foot-7, 249 pounds, Jackson has excellent size and athleticism at the position, and he entered last training camp as an intriguing developmental player for the Eagles. He was impressing last summer before suffering a serious back injury that caused him to miss eight games, and then he tore his ACL in Week 18 after catching his first touchdown. The 24-year-old remains an intriguing developmental player at the position, but his injuries last year have set him back.
An MRI exam on Sunday revealed that Philadelphia Eagles rookie tight end Tyree Jackson (knee) tore his ACL in Saturday's loss to the Dallas Cowboys, according to a source. The Eagles initially believed that Jackson avoided an ACL injury, but further testing confirmed that wasn't the case. Jackson won't be available for the playoffs and will miss valuable on-field workouts this spring and likely into the summer. The 24-year-old saw an expanded role in Week 18 with Dallas Goedert on the COVID-19 list, catching three of five targets for 22 yards and his first NFL touchdown on Saturday. In nine games, Jackson had three catches for 22 yards and the one touchdown on seven targets. Goedert should be available for the wild card round of the postseason next week as Philly's starting tight end.
Philadelphia Eagles tight end Tyree Jackson (knee) will undergo more tests after getting injured in Saturday's loss to the Dallas Cowboys, but the early belief is that he didn't suffer an ACL injury, according to a source. Jackson will undergo an MRI exam on Sunday. Before he injured his right knee, Jackson had three catches for 22 yards and his first touchdown in the NFL on five targets in the blowout loss to Dallas in which the Eagles rested most of their starters, including quarterback Jalen Hurts. Tight ends Dallas Goedert and Jack Stoll were both out due to COVID-19, too, so Jackson saw his most playing time of the season. Jackson could have avoided serious damage to his knee, but even if he's ready for the wild-card round, he's unlikely to have much of a role if Goedert is able to return.
Eagles Activate Tyree Jackson From Injured Reserve
The Philadelphia Eagles activated tight end Tyree Jackson (back) from Injured Reserve on Saturday and also elevated running back Jordan Howard and wide receiver John Hightower from the practice squad to the active roster. Jackson has yet to appear in an NFL game, but the Eagles have high hopes for him in the future. There's opportunity for the 23-year-old to factor into the offense by season's end behind Dallas Goedert. Rookie Jack Stoll is the only other tight end on Philadelphia's active roster. But don't expect much from Jackson this year after he recovered from a fractured back that he suffered in the middle of training camp. Jackson is a converted quarterback that is worth keeping an eye on.
The Philadelphia Eagles have opened the practice window for tight end Tyree Jackson (back). The Eagles have high hopes for Jackson, and he should help fill the void behind Dallas Goedert that was left when the team traded Zach Ertz to the Arizona Cardinals last week. The team also opened the practice window for safety K'Von Wallace. The Eagles have 21 days to activate both Jackson and Wallace from Injured Reserve. Jackson stands at 6-foot-7 and could be an excellent red-zone weapon for quarterback Jalen Hurts eventually, but fantasy managers don't need to run out and pick him up just yet. Goedert remains the clear starter for Philadelphia, but he still needs to gain clearance from the COVID-19 list after missing last Thursday's game.
The Philadelphia Eagles really like tight end Tyree Jackson (back), and he's expected to have a role behind Dallas Goedert when he returns from injury after the team traded Zach Ertz to the Arizona Cardinals. The Eagles want to see what the 6-foot-7 tight end can do after he suffered a fractured back in training camp. The 23-year-old has never played in an NFL game, but he's nearing a return and has all the makings of being a really good tight end. Jackson has been seen working on the side during practice in recent weeks, and the Eagles are getting closer to activating his three-week practice window while currently on Injured Reserve. Goedert's role as the team's top pass-catching tight end shouldn't be threatened, but Jackson will be one to watch when he makes his debut.
Philadelphia Eagles tight end Tyree Jackson (back) officially made it to the Eagles 53-man roster. He fractured a bone in his back during a preseason game about two weeks ago, so he'll almost certainly end up on IR before the Eagles play their first game, but the fact that he was officially on the roster first means that the team will be able to designate him as eligible to return later in the season. Jackson drew rave reviews in training camp and measures in at 6'7", 249 pounds with 4.59 speed. He'll be behind both Dallas Goedert and Zach Ertz on Philly's tight end depth chart, but if an injury hits one of those two (or if Ertz continues to decline), Jackson could make some noise later this season.
Philadelphia Eagles tight end Tyree Jackson (back) suffered a fractured bone in his back after landing hard following a leap into the air during a joint practice with the New England Patriots on Tuesday. The Eagles are describing the injury as a "non-surgical" issue, with an expected recovery time of 8-10 weeks. It's a tough blow for the former quarterback, who was looking to earn a spot on the tight end depth chart behind Dallas Goedert and Zach Ertz.
