Tyree Jackson Injury News & Updates
Keep up with the latest injuries from the Commanders vs Vikings game on Sunday with our National Football League injury report.Aug 2, 2025
Placed on IR
The Commanders placed Jackson (undisclosed) on injured reserve Saturday.
ANALYSIS
Jackson had signed a reserve/future contract with the team in January but will now be forced to miss the entire season unless he's waived with an injury settlement. He last appeared in a game during the 2023 campaign with Giants and will likely have to wait until 2026 to make his return.
Jan 28, 2025
Remaining in Washington
The Commanders signed Jackson to a reserve/future contract Tuesday.
ANALYSIS
Jackson was signed to the Commanders' practice squad mid-December after spending most of the 2024 regular season recovering from an undisclosed injury that caused him to be waived by the Giants during training camp in mid-August. By signing a futures deal, Jackson will be on the Commanders' 90-man roster when the new league year starts March 12. That gives him the opportunity to participate in OTAS, minicamp and training camp in the hopes of catching on with the 53-man roster for the 2025 campaign.

Joins Commanders' practice squad
Washington signed Jackson to its practice squad Tuesday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Jackson was cut by the Giants with an injury designation ahead of the start of the regular season, but he's now getting a chance with their division rival. With starter Zach Ertz dealing with a concussion after Sunday's game at New Orleans, it's easy to see why the Commanders would add a depth option at tight end.

Works out with Seahawks
Seattle worked out Jackson (undisclosed) on Wednesday, Howard Balzer of USA Today reports.
ANALYSIS
The Giants waived Jackson from IR with an injury settlement prior to the start of the regular season, but his tryout Wednesday indicates he's back in football shape. With regular starter Noah Fant dealing with a groin issue, it makes some sense that the Seahawks are exploring depth options at tight end.
Aug 21, 2024
Gets cut loose
Jackson (undisclosed) was waived from IR with an injury settlement, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
ANALYSIS
Jackson reverted to IR on Saturday after he was waived with an injury designation Friday. He'll now have a chance to avoid missing the 2024 season and can sign with any team once he proves himself healthy.
Aug 17, 2024
Reverts to IR
Jackson (undisclosed) reverted to the Giants' injured-reserve list Saturday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
ANALYSIS
Jackson was waived with an injury designation Friday and has now landed on IR after going unclaimed. He'll therefore be required to sit out the entire 2024 campaign unless he and New York agree on an injury settlement.
Aug 16, 2024
Waived by Big Blue
Jackson (undisclosed) was waived by the Giants on Friday with an injury designation, Ryan Dunleavy of the New York Post reports.
ANALYSIS
Although as of this past week he was New York's emergency third-string quarterback, Jackson will be sent to the waivers. In the event he clears waivers, the 6-foot-7 tight end is a candidate to revert to IR, unless an injury settlement is agreed upon.
Jan 7, 2024
Won't play Week 18
Jackson (coach's decision) is Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site for Sunday's game against the Eagles, Dan reports.
ANALYSIS
Jackson was signed to the Giants' active roster Saturday, but will not suit up for the team's regular-season finale. Darren Waller and Daniel Bellinger will serve as the two tight ends for New York for Week 18.
Jan 6, 2024
Signed to active roster
The Giants signed Jackson to their active roster Saturday, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Jackson joined the Giants' practice squad Aug. 30 after failing to make the Eagles' 53-man roster at the conclusion of training camp. He's been elevated twice this season but has not recorded a stat. Jackson will serve as the third tight end on the depth chart behind Darren Waller and Daniel Bellinger for Sunday's game against the Eagles.
Nov 18, 2023
Elevated again for Week 11
The Giants elevated Jackson from their practice squad to their active roster Saturday, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Jackson saw his first game action of the campaign last Sunday against Dallas, but he didn't record any stats over 12 offensive snaps. His opportunity has come as a result of Darren Waller (hamstring) landing on IR, but Jackson isn't likely to put up fantasy-worthy numbers given the Giants' woeful passing game and his place on the TE depth chart behind Daniel Bellinger and Lawrence Cager.
Nov 13, 2023
Reverts to practice squad
Jackson reverted to the Giants' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.
ANALYSIS
Jackson started alongside Daniel Bellinger, but only saw 12 of a possible 57 offensive snaps, while the latter played 46. Jackson was even out-snapped by No. 3 tight end Larence Cager (13). He failed to record any snaps and will now look to make an impression at practice in hopes of a future elevation to the active roster.
Nov 11, 2023
Moves to active roster
Jackson was lifted from the practice squad to the active roster by the Giants on Saturday, Field Yates of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
Jackson should be the third tight end on New York's depth chart behind Daniel Bellinger and Lawrence Cager. The tight end signed with the Giants' practice squad in August and has yet to appear in a game this season. The third-year pro saw a combined 14 offensive snaps with the Eagles in 2021 and 2022.
Aug 30, 2023
Finds work with practice squad
Jackson is signing with the Giants' practice squad Wednesday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Jackson was waived by the Eagles on Tuesday and will stay in the NFC East as part of the Giants' practice squad. He missed the entire 2022 campaign with a torn ACL but will attempt to impress in New York now that he's healthy.
Aug 26, 2023
Leaving Philly
Jackson was waived by the Eagles on Saturday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Jackson was competing against several tight ends for the opportunity to back up Dallas goedert. However, the team has opted to go in a nother direction leaving Jackson without a team at the moment. It remains to be seen if the Eagles will give him a shot on their practice squad or if he will need to find a new city.
Apr 24, 2023
Signs exclusive rights tender
Jackson (knee) signed his exclusive rights tender with the Eagles on Monday.
ANALYSIS
Jackson will return to Philadelphia for the 2023 season after accepting his roster tender. The tight end finished the 2022 campaign on injured reserve with a knee injury and will operate as a depth option behind starter Dallas Goedert now that he's presumably past the issue. Jackson failed to log a snap with the active roster last year, something he'll look to change in his third season with the Eagles.
Dec 23, 2022
IR-bound with knee injury
Philadelphia placed Jackson (knee) on its injured reserve list Friday.
ANALYSIS
Jackson has dealt with lingering knee issues all year, and with regular starting tight end Dallas Goedert having returned from an injured reserve list stint of his own Tuesday, the Eagles saw fit to shut Jackson down for the rest of this season. He'll finish his 2022 campaign without having played a snap.
Dec 22, 2022
Won't play Saturday
Jackson (knee) is out for Saturday's game against the Cowboys.
ANALYSIS
Jackson sat out the first nine games of the season while on the reserve/PUP list with a knee injury, and he has yet to record a catch since being activated ahead of Week 11. While the nature of this new knee issue is unclear, it's likely the 25-year-old would have been ruled inactive Week 16 anyways after No. 1 tight end Dallas Goedert was activated from IR on Tuesday. Expect Jackson to provide depth behind Jack Stoll and Grant Calcaterra when healthy moving forward.
Nov 16, 2022
Activated from PUP list
Philadelphia activated Jackson (knee) from the reserve/PUP list Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
Jackson will join the 53-man roster for the first time since tearing his ACL during the Eagles' regular-season finale last year. He'll likely operate in a rotational role behind Grant Calcaterra and Jack Stoll during his season debut, but all three tight ends are candidates for increased roles while Dallas Goedert (shoulder) is on IR.
Oct 26, 2022
Designated to return from PUP list
Philadelphia designated Jackson (knee) to return from the physically unable to perform list Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
Jackson tore his ACL during the Eagles' regular-season finale last season and underwent surgery in January. He missed the first seven games of the 2022 campaign while on the PUP list but will return to practice Wednesday. With the move, Jackson will now have a 21-day window to be added to the Eagles' active roster, but if he isn't, the undrafted tight end out of Buffalo will revert back to the PUP list for the remainder of the season.
Aug 23, 2022
Moves to reserve/PUP list
The Eagles placed Jackson (knee) on the reserve/PUP list Tuesday, Ralph Vacchiano of Fox Sports reports.
ANALYSIS
Jackson tore his ACL in the Eagles' Week 18 loss to the Cowboys and underwent successful surgery in January. He'll miss at least the first four games of the regular season.
Jul 27, 2022
Placed on PUP list
Jackson (knee) was placed on the active/PUP list Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
Jackson tore his ACL in the Eagles' Week 18 loss to the Cowboys and underwent successful surgery in January to repair it. His current inability to return to practice shouldn't be a surprise, and his status for Week 1 is up in the air,
Jan 27, 2022
Undergoes successful surgery
Jackson underwent successful surgery to repair his torn ACL on Thursday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Jackson tore his ACL during the Eagles' Week 18 loss to the Cowboys and will now shift his focus toward his lengthy recovery process. Since the injury happened so late in the 2021 campaign, it's not yet clear whether he'll be ready for training camp or Week 1 in 2022.
Jan 10, 2022
Moves to injured reserve
Jackson (knee) was placed on injured reserve Monday.
ANALYSIS
Jackson suffered a torn ACL during Saturday's loss to Dallas, so it's no surprise to see him headed toward injured reserve. The 24-year-old is unlikely to be fully recovered in time for training camp and could miss the start of the 2022 campaign.
Jan 9, 2022
Gets bad news
Jackson (knee) suffered a torn ACL against the Cowboys on Saturday an MRI revealed, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Jackson recorded three catches on five targets for 22 yards and his first NFL touchdown before the injury. He'll now face a long recovery that will likely force him to miss the bulk of the Eagles' offseason on-field programs. He'll work to return healthy in 2022.
Jan 9, 2022
Set to have MRI
Jackson is slated to undergo an MRI on his knee, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Per the report, early indications are that Jackson didn't suffer an ACL injury prior to exiting Saturday's loss to the Cowboys, a contest in which the tight end logged three catches on five targets for 22 yards and a touchdown. Jackson's expanded role in Week 18 was due to Dallas Goedert and Jack Stoll being on the reserve/COVID-19 list, but one or both could be cleared for action in advance of the Eagles' postseason opener.
Jan 8, 2022
Will not return
Jackson (knee) will not return Saturday against the Cowboys.
ANALYSIS
Jackson injured his knee on punt coverage in the second half Saturday. He was having issues with putting weight on his leg and exited the game with trainers assistance. Before exiting, Jackson had three catches on five targets for 22 yards and a touchdown. All the firsts of his career.
Sep 2, 2021
Placed on IR
Jackson (back) was placed on injured reserve Thursday, Jeff McLane of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
ANALYSIS
Jackson suffered a back fracture in mid-August that carries a recovery timetable of 8-to-10 weeks, and he won't be eligible to return until at least Week 4 against Kansas City. The 23-year-old had a strong camp prior to his injury but will have to wait to make his season debut.
Aug 18, 2021
Out 8-10 weeks with back fracture
Jackson has a fractured bone in his back and is facing a recovery timeline of 8-to-10 weeks, Jimmy Kempski of PhillyVoice.com reports.
ANALYSIS
The QB-turned-TE reportedly had a strong training camp, with Kempski noting that Jackson could still make the team. He'll be ruled out for the year if the Eagles place him on injured reserve this preseason, but not if they wait until after the final round of cuts.
Aug 16, 2021
Could make roster as reserve TE
Tyree Jackson has converted to tight end and has a good shot to make the Eagles, especially if Zach Ertz is traded, Reuben Frank of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.
ANALYSIS
Jackson was unable to latch on to an NFL roster as a reserve quarterback, so the 6'7" Buffalo product made the switch to tight end in November 2020. He caught two balls for 32 yards in the Eagles' preseason opener and has shown good hands and the ability to get open while running good routes so far in training camp. The team is likely to keep only three tight ends, and right now, Dallas Goedert, Zach Ertz, and Richard Rodgers are all listed ahead of Jackson on the depth chart. While an Ertz trade would seemingly assure the 23-year-old a place on the team, his potential at the new position could entice Philadelphia to keep him over Rodgers if Ertz stays put.
