Packers’ Josh Jackson: Fills in Monday
Josh Jackson recorded two solo tackles in Monday’s 30-16 win over the Falcons.Chandon Sullivan (concussion) exited after just three snaps, and Kevin King (quadriceps) left early as well, so Jackson took over at outside cornerback and logged 28 of 70 defensive snaps (40 percent). The 2018 second-round pick has struggled to get his footing in the NFL, and he could drop back to a reserve role following the Week 5 bye if King and Sullivan are cleared to play.

Packers’ Josh Jackson: Limited to reserve role
Josh Jackson totaled 11 solo tackles in 14 games this season.The 2018 second-round pick started 10 games and played nearly 700 defensive snaps as a rookie last season, but he was relegated to special teams for most of the 2019 campaign. Jackson was especially uninvolved defensively down the stretch, as he played zero defensive snaps in eight of his last 10 games (including playoffs). The impending departures of Tramon Williams and Chandon Sullivan via free agency could open up some opportunities behind starting cornerbacks Jaire Alexander and Kevin King, but Jackson clearly has work to do this offseason in order to earn playing time in 2020.
