Overview
- ESPN reports the 2024 third-round defensive tackle has asked Cincinnati for a trade or release.
- He is the third defender seeking a move in recent weeks, following linebacker Logan Wilson’s trade request and Mike Pennel’s release before signing with the Chiefs.
- Jackson has been a healthy scratch in six of eight games and logged only six defensive snaps in Week 5.
- His reduced role has coincided with the change from Lou Anarumo to Al Golden, who said this month the 23-year-old "knows what he needs to do."
- Any deal must be finalized by Nov. 4 at 4 p.m. ET, with the Bengals sitting at 3-5 entering Week 9.
