  • Steelers' Donte Jackson: Going to Pittsburgh in trade

    The Steelers are set to acquire Jackson from the Panthers in the Diontae Johnson trade, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports. Jackson was on his way out of Carolina one way or another due to an elevated cap number. In Pittsburgh, he gives the Steelers an experienced corner to pair with 2023 second-rounder Joey Porter. The 55th overall pick in the 2018 NFL Draft, Jackson started 76 games across six seasons for the Panthers, picking off 14 passes.

  • Panthers' Donte Jackson: Likely done in Carolina

    Jackson is expected to be released or traded by the Panthers before March 16, when he is due a $4 million roster bonus, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports. Jackson played 16 games last year in his sixth season with Carolina, but it appears the veteran corner will not spend his seventh NFL campaign with the franchise. He ended 2023 with 59 combined tackles, five passes defended and no interceptions. His release would save the team $5.9 million in cap space this offseason.

  • Panthers' Donte Jackson: Not practicing yet

    Jackson (Achilles) should be ready for the start of training camp, Joe Person of The Athletic reports. Jackson was placed on injured reserve in November after he tore his Achilles tendon in Week 10 against the Falcons. The 27-year-old has been present at OTAs but has yet to participate as he continues to rehab from his injury. Last season, Jackson started at cornerback opposite 2021 first-round pick Jaycee Horn (ankle) and he should reclaim a key role in the Panthers' secondary once he's fully up to speed.

  • Panthers' Donte Jackson: Unavailable to start OTAs

    Jackson (Achilles) was present Tuesday but didn't participate in the first day of Carolina's OTAs, Mike Kaye of The Charlotte Observer reports. This isn't surprising, as Jackson is still recovering from a torn Achilles he suffered last November, and it remains unclear when he'll be able to play again. The Panthers reworked Jackson's contract this offseason to create some cap savings, and whenever he's cleared, he figures to compete for the starting cornerback job opposite Jaycee Horn.

  • Panthers' Donte Jackson: Adjusts contract

    Jackson (Achilles) restructured his contract with the Panthers on Thursday, Darin Gantt of the team's official site reports. Jackson suffered a season-ending torn Achilles in November, and although he could be ready for the start of the season, he'll do so with a reworked contract. The cap savings this will create for Carolina is not yet clear, but Jackson was set for a $13.5 million cap hit in 2023, and part of the restructured deal will result in him getting a $4 million roster bonus, David Newton of ESPN.com reports. When healthy, Jackson should be one of the team's starting corners opposite Jaycee Horn.

  • Panthers' Donte Jackson: Suffers Achilles tear

The 27-year-old was injured in the fourth quarter of a 25-15 win over the Falcons on Thursday. His absence for the rest of the season likely pushes CJ Henderson and Keith Taylor into larger roles alongside 2021 first-round pick Jaycee Horn. Jackson will spend the rest of the season focusing on rehab as he enters the second season of a three-year, $35 million contract in 2023.

  • Panthers' Donte Jackson: Remains sidelined Thursday

    Jackson (ankle) was listed as a non-participant on the Panthers' injury report Thursday. Jackson did not practice for the second day in a row after he appeared to aggravate an existing groin injury in Sunday's loss to the Rams. The cornerback first popped up on the injury report last Thursday, leaving the 180-pound cornerback sidelined in practice Friday. While Jackson could still suit up without practicing before this Sunday's contest versus Tampa Bay, it will be worth monitoring if he can increase his practice activity before this Week 7 tilt.

  • Panthers' Donte Jackson: Back at practice Thursday

    Jackson (ankle) was a limited participant in practice Thursday, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports. Jackson exited and did not return after suffering an ankle injury during Carolina's Week 6 loss to the Rams, leaving him sidelined in practice Wednesday. However, 27-year-old took a step forward Thursday and should have a chance to play this Sunday versus Tampa Bay. Jackson has recorded 18 tackles and an interception so far this season, and he played a season-high 97 percent of the Panthers' defensive snaps in Week 5. The starting cornerback could again see heavy usage if Jaycee Horn (ribs) and/or CJ Henderson (concussion) are ultimately ruled out against the Buccaneers.
