"Washington Commanders fans were hoping to see something from defensive end Drake Jackson after the team opened his 21-day return window recently. But time is rapidly running out for the pass-rusher to convince the coaching staff he is healthy enough to participate. The Commanders believed Jackson could still have something to offer. General manager Adam Peters knows the player well from their time together with the San Francisco 49ers."
"Still, the injury problem that's kept him out for the best part of two years tempered expectations considerably. Jackson was immediately stashed on injured reserve to continue his recovery. The Commanders have taken their time with the player to avoid any unnecessary complications. Even so, the fact that he was ruled out for the second week since being activated doesn't exactly paint the most encouraging picture."
Washington opened a 21-day return window for defensive end Drake Jackson, but his time to prove he is healthy is rapidly running out. General manager Adam Peters recruited Jackson from San Francisco and believes Jackson could contribute, yet lingering injuries have limited him for nearly two years. Jackson was placed on injured reserve and has been ruled out for a second week since activation. Washington must soon decide whether to activate him to the 53-man roster or let the 2022 second-round pick remain on the fringes. If Jackson cannot demonstrate reliability, he risks losing his roster spot and possibly his NFL career.
