Patriots' J.C. Jackson Not Joining Team for Germany Match Over Reliability Concerns

Jackson's lack of reliability, including being late to team hotel last week, prompts Patriots decision to leave cornerback at home for mental reset during international NFL game against Colts.

Cornerback J.C. Jackson will not be joining the Patriots for their game against the Colts in Germany due to concerns over his reliability, stemming from his recent tardiness to team events.
Jackson's absence from the game follows a decision made by the Patriots for him to stay home during their bye week to 'return in a better place,' a decision influenced by his late arrival to the team hotel.
Previously, Jackson was traded to the Patriots from the Chargers just four games into the season after issues relating to commitment, including a disinterest in criticism and practices, leading to his benching.
Jackson who had signed a five-year, $82.5 million contract with the Chargers is now seen as a regretful acquisition by Chargers' management, with General Manager, Tom Telesco, apologizing for the signing.
Since leaving the Chargers, Jackson's performance during his games for the Patriots has been unsatisfactory, causing the team to lose confidence in his abilities on the field.
