Donte Jackson

Steelers coach Mike Tomlin said the shoulder injury Donte Jackson is dealing with is minor.

Fantasy Impact

Jackson could be limited in practice, but it is not expected to impact his game status for Monday night against the Giants.

The Panthers are trading Donte Jackson and a sixth-round pick in exchange for Diontae Johnson.

Fantasy Impact

Jackson was expected to be either traded or released by Carolina. He spent the first six years of his career with the Panthers, and was due a $4 million roster bonus on March 16 that will be paid by the Steelers. Jackson recorded 59 tackles last season as he now heads to join the Steelers secondary.

According to Carolina Panthers head coach Frank Reich, CB Donte Jackson should be good to go for July's training camp as he recovers from an Achilles injury.

Fantasy Impact

Jackson tore his Achilles in November which cost him the second half of his 2022 season. The Panthers have had a few key defensive players miss time during the offseason with injuries, including CB Jaycee Horn. Jackson played on 71% of the team's snaps before his injury, playing an important role on the defense. Carolina will have a new defensive coordinator in 2023, Ejiro Evero from the Broncos, so his presence at training camp will be crucial for getting him up to speed on a new defensive scheme.

Cornerback Donte Jackson has been placed on injured reserve by the Carolina Panthers. He's dealing with a groin injury.

Fantasy Impact

Jackson, a starting cornerback for the Panthers, will miss at least three weeks. While he wasn't relevant in IDP leagues, his absence could impact the Panthers D/ST, which has become a useful unit.

CB Donte Jackson (toe) is doubtful for Sunday's Week 12 contest versus the Vikings.

Fantasy Impact

Jackson was unable to practice this week and is unlikely to play in Sunday's game against the Vikings. He is expected to miss his second straight contest due to a toe injury. Troy Pride will start at LCB if Jackson is ultimately ruled out on Sunday.
