Jackson logged 34 snaps during Thursday's preseason opener against the Bengals.

Lions' Dan Jackson: Exits practice early
Jackson (leg) was forced to leave practice early Sunday with a leg injury, Tim Twentyman of the Lions' official site reports.
Jackson was selected in the seventh round of the 2025 NFL Draft, and he is expected to compete for the backup strong safety role behind starter Brian Branch. Jackson will have a handful of days to return to action prior to Friday's preseason matchup with the Falcons. The rookie already made a positive impression, recording six total tackles (four solo) in Thursday's 34-7 loss to the Chargers.

Lions' Dan Jackson: Added by Lions
The Lions selected Jackson in the seventh round of the 2025 NFL Draft, 230th overall.
Jackson played sparingly on defense through his first five years at Georgia before taking over as starting safety in 2024. Through 14 games in his final season, Jackson posted 64 tackles, 1.5 tackles for loss, five pass breakups and two interceptions. The 24-year-old boosted his draft stock at the Senior Bowl, where he was named the top safety. However, his starting experience is still limited, and he'll need to find a role on special teams in Detroit.
