Tyree Jackson's chances of making the Washington Commanders roster ended when he was placed on injured reserve. This injury was a significant setback for Jackson, who had been gaining positive attention for his playmaking abilities. Even though the Commanders had a secured tight end lineup, Jackson's potential had begun to create competition. However, the undisclosed nature of his injury left him at great risk of being waived. His long NFL career, marked by opportunities with the Eagles and Giants, may have seen its last real chance.
Football can be a cruel sport at this time of year - or any time of year, for that matter. One piece of bad luck is all it can take to alter a player's career path.
Tyree Jackson has been used sparingly throughout his NFL career, all of which has been spent in the NFC East. Making the roster remained a long shot, but the former Buffalo college standout was catching the eye positively nonetheless.
Unfortunately, this momentum came screeching to an abrupt halt when the Commanders confirmed he'd been placed on injured reserve. The nature of Jackson's issue wasn't disclosed, but it represents a cataclysmic blow to any faint hopes he had of pushing his way onto the 53-man roster.
Jackson found that out to his cost throughout a rollercoaster career that began with the Philadelphia Eagles and a stop in the Big Apple with the New York Giants before arriving in Washington.
