Overview

• ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported that Jackson has been medically cleared and will meet with Baltimore, New York and Washington starting this weekend and into next week.
• Baltimore’s evaluation comes as the team deals with numerous defensive injuries, with multiple front-seven players on injured reserve including defensive end Broderick Washington.
• The Jets are exploring help at defensive end after operating with thin depth, and starter Jermaine Johnson has missed recent games with an ankle issue, according to Heavy.
• Washington is also assessing options after losing edge rusher Javonte Jean-Baptiste to a significant injury, as noted by the Sporting News.
• Selected 61st overall in 2022, Jackson logged six sacks in 23 games before a November 2023 patellar tendon tear sidelined him through 2024 and preceded the 49ers’ failed-physical waiver in May, a recovery 49ers GM John Lynch previously described as challenging.
