Overview
- ESPN reports Jackson requested a move on Thursday, making him the third Cincinnati defender in recent weeks to seek an exit.
- Jackson has been a healthy scratch for six of eight games in 2025 and logged only six defensive snaps in Week 5.
- Linebacker Logan Wilson previously requested a trade, and veteran DT Mike Pennel was released via a non-injury settlement before signing with the Chiefs.
- The shift follows an offseason change at defensive coordinator from Lou Anarumo to Al Golden, with younger defenders seeing reduced roles.
- The NFL trade deadline is Nov. 4 at 4 p.m. ET, and at 3-5 the Bengals are evaluating options, with some outlets not expecting them to be active sellers.
