His next chance to make his team debut will be Nov. 20 against the Bengals.

• Commanders' William Jackson: Not practicing Wednesday

  10/19/2022 • By RotoWire

  Jackson (back) didn't practice Wednesday, Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post reports. Jackson was sidelined for the team's Week 6 win over Chicago due to a back injury that he suffered in Week 5. It was presumably an aggravation of the issue that caused him to miss Week 3 as well. Given that it appears to be a reoccurring thing, Washington may elect to keep him out for a second consecutive contest. However, he'll have two more opportunities to return to practice before the team needs to make a decision on his status for Sunday's matchup against the Packers.

  Jackson (knee) was a full participant in practice Wednesday, Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post reports.

• Football Team's William Jackson: Game-time call Sunday

  10/31/2021 • By RotoWire

  Jackson (knee), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Broncos, is viewed as a game-time decision ahead of the 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff, Ben Standig of The Athletic reports. Washington's top cornerback sat out the Football Team's Week 7 loss to the Packers, but he appears to have more hope of playing this week after practicing on a limited basis Wednesday through Friday. Even if he's cleared to play at less than 100 percent health, Jackson's presence would be a welcome one for a porous Washington pass defense as it looks to slow down a slew of talented Denver pass catchers such as Courtland Sutton, Jerry Jeudy, Tim Patrick and Noah Fant.
