Overview
- The Jaguars announced they signed Dane Jackson and placed cornerback Keith Taylor on injured reserve on Thursday, June 4, 2026.
- Jackson was released by the Buffalo Bills on March 6, 2026 as part of an offseason roster clearout that included several veterans.
- Jackson was a seventh‑round pick out of Pitt in the 2020 draft and has six NFL seasons across Buffalo and Carolina with 64 games played and three interceptions.
- He appeared in just three regular‑season games for Buffalo in 2025 because of injury, so the signing is viewed as a low‑risk move for depth rather than a clear starting upgrade.
- Jackson turns 30 in November 2026, and his ability to stay healthy will determine whether he becomes regular game‑day help or a veteran reserve for the Jaguars as they aim to rebuild secondary depth.
