Jackson officially announced his retirement Friday, Kevin Patra of NFL.com reports.
Jackson, who didn't play at all during the 2022 campaign, said he's officially hanging up the cleats during Friday's edition of NFL Network's "Good Morning Football." The 2012 fifth-round pick ends his career with 35.5 sacks, 292 tackles, 63 tackles for loss, 106 quarterback hits, 29 passes defensed and four fumble recoveries across 10 campaigns. Jackson was a member of the Broncos' Super Bowl 50 win and was named to the 2017 Pro Bowl after posting a career-high eight sacks for the Jaguars.

Browns' Malik Jackson: Questionable for Sunday
Rotowire
Jackson (ankle) is listed as questionable for the Browns' Week 8 contest against the Steelers.
Jackson was limited in practice Thursday and Friday, and his status for Sunday is up in the air. The defensive tackle was questionable heading into Week 7 but he ended up playing, so there is definitely a chance Jackson will be able to suit up against the Steelers. Expect Jordan Elliott to see extended snaps at defensive tackle if Jackson is unavailable Sunday.

Browns' Malik Jackson: Uncertain for Week 7
Rotowire
Jackson (knee) has been listed as questionable for Thursday's contest against the Broncos, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
Jackson's been a force for the Browns defensive line so far this season. Although the defensive tackle has been a limited participant in practice all week, Jackson has yet to miss a game this season. Expect Jordan Elliott to see extended opportunities Thursday if Jackson is unable to suit up.

Browns' Malik Jackson: Moving to Cleveland
Rotowire
Jackson signed with the Browns on Friday, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.
Once a formidable pocket disruptor from the defensive interior, Jackson collected 14.5 sacks and the first Pro Bowl nod of his career during his first two seasons with the Jaguars in 2016 and 2017. With time split between Jacksonville (2018) and Philadelphia (2019-2020) the past three years, Jackson has not been nearly as effective as a pass rusher. A Lisfranc injury suffered Week 1 of the 2019 season may have factored into the drop-off in production. Possessing just six total sacks over his past 32 games played, Jackson hopes to find a spark in joining All-Pro Myles Garrett on Cleveland's defensive line. The veteran's run-stuffing abilities will come in handy when taking on Baltimore's reigning No. 1 rush offense twice in 2021.

Eagles' Malik Jackson: Draws questionable tag
Rotowire
Jackson (concussion) is questionable for Sunday's game in Arizona, Martin Frank of The Delaware News Journal reports.
Jackson will need to fully clear the league's five-step concussion protocol before retaking the field, and he still has some hurdles to surpass before getting the green light to suit up Sunday. Javon Hargrave would be the favorite to enter the starting lineup if Jackson can't go.

Eagles' Malik Jackson: Concussion confirmed
Rotowire
Jackson (concussion) was limited in practice Wednesday.
Jackson's designation on the injury report confirms the suspicion that he suffered a concussion in last week's game against the Saints, which means he will need to clear the league's five-step concussion protocol in order to suit up Sunday in Arizona. Javon Hargrave would likely get the nod at defensive tackle if Jackson's unable to play.

Eagles' Malik Jackson: Still dealing with injury
Rotowire
Jackson (quadriceps) was a limited participant during Wednesday's practice, Chris McPherson of the team's official site reports.
Jackson continues to work back from the quadriceps injury that he aggravated in Week 8's win over the Cowboys. If the veteran is healthy enough to return, expect him to work back into the defensive line rotation for Sunday's divisional matchup against the Giants.

Eagles' Malik Jackson: Ready for Sunday's game
Rotowire
Jackson (quadriceps) won't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game versus the Cowboys.
Jackson missed last week's divisional win over the Giants, but after logging a full practice Friday, he's been cleared to return to the lineup. The 30-year-old defensive tackle handled 79 percent of the defensive workload in Week 1 but saw his snap share shrink for five straight games before his injury, ending up at 44 percent in Week 6. However, Hassan Ridgeway (bicep) is now out for the year, so Jackson's snap count could start rising again as long as he's fully healthy.

Eagles' Malik Jackson: Could miss two games
Rotowire
Jackson is expected to miss two weeks with a quadriceps injury he picked up in Sunday's loss to the Ravens, Chris Mortensen of ESPN reports.
This means Jackson likely will miss Thursday's matchup against the Giants and the Week 8 tilt against the Cowboys, and the Eagles hope he'll return to action following their Week 9 bye. Javon Hargrave is expected to bump into a starting role in place of Jackson, and Hassan Ridgeway should see his snap count rise as well.

Eagles' Malik Jackson: Expected to miss season
Rotowire
Jackson is expected to miss the rest of the 2019 season with a Lisfranc injury, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.
Garafolo also notes that Jackson will have surgery next week. The 29-year-old had to be carted off the field in Sunday's 32-27 victory over Washington. Sunday was Jackson's first appearance for the Eagles after signing a three-year, $30 million contract in March. The veteran's absence leaves work for Tim Jernigan and Hassan Ridgeway in Philadelphia's defensive front.

Eagles' Malik Jackson: Getting $10 million per year
Rotowire
Jackson is signing a three-year, $30 million contract with the Eagles, Adam Schefter of ESPN
Schefter's initial report mistakenly placed the total value at $10 million, which is actually the annual average. The updated terms are far more reasonable, considering Jackson is 29 years old and had 18 sacks in his three seasons with Jacksonville. He'll slide in as a starter next to Fletcher Cox, giving the Eagles a solid argument for the most fearsome interior-line duo in the league, though it could just as easily be argued that Aaron Donald plus any warm body is superior.

Jaguars' Malik Jackson: Seeing reduced role
Rotowire

Jackson hasn't started since Week 12 against the Bills and has played only 35 combined snaps the last two weeks. The 28-year-old is currently on pace for his worst statistical season since his rookie year, with only one game remaining in the 2018 season.

Rotowire
Jackson (hamstring) is not present on the injury report for Sunday's game against the Texans.

Jaguars' Malik Jackson: Forces fumble Sunday
Rotowire
Jackson posted three tackles (two solo), 1.5 sacks and one forced fumble against the Colts on Sunday.
Jackson doubled his sack total Sunday, and he's on pace to eclipse his current career high of 6.5 sacks. While it's another solid year for Jackson, it's nothing special compared to the rest of the league, and he isn't considered a high-caliber IDP threat at this time.

Rotowire
Jackson (groin) wasn't on Friday's injury report and is on track to be available for Sunday's game against the Ravens, which will be played in London, Mike Kay of First Coast News reports.
Jackson will look to put pressure on quarterback Joe Flacco and clog up running lanes for Terrance West (calf). The sixth-year defensive tackle has five solo tackles and one sack so far in 2017.

Broncos' Malik Jackson: Set to sign with Jaguars
Rotowire
Jackson is poised to sign with the Jaguars, ESPN.com reports.
The report notes that the defensive lineman's anticipated five or six-year deal with Jacksonville is expected to average in the range of $15 million per season. Jackson is coming off a 2015 season in which he recorded 45 tackles and five sacks for the Broncos, with the Florida Times-Union suggesting that Jackson seems likely "to play the three-technique defensive tackle position" with the Jaguars, while splitting time with Sen'Derrick Marks.

Broncos' Malik Jackson: In talks with Broncos
Rotowire
Jackson remains a priority for the Broncos to re-sign, but he could be poised to test the free agent market if the team places its exclusive franchise tag on Von Miller, the Denver Post reports.
Jackson is reportedly seeking a contract worth around $14 million per season, but the Broncos have only offered less than $11 million thus far. As a result, the parties haven't been able to strike agreement on a long-term deal. With Miller's situation at a similar, albeit more expensive, hurdle, Denver may have to prioritize one player for its franchise tag before Tuesday's deadline. That almost certainly will be Miller, thus leaving Jackson to take calls from interested teams and potentially sign elsewhere this offseason.
