Saints' D'Marco Jackson: Out Sunday
Jackson (calf) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Panthers, Jeff Nowak of Audacy Sports reports.
The Appalachian State product failed to participate in any practice this week due to a calf injury, so being ruled out for Week 1 comes as no surprise. With Jackson, Jaylan Ford (hamstring) and Nephi Sewell (knee) all sidelined Sunday, Anfernee Orji remains the only reserve inside linebacker on the Saints' roster.

Saints' D'Marco Jackson: Nursing calf injury
Jackson exited Thursday's practice due to a calf injury, Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com reports.
Jackson has started in both of the Saints' preseason contests and has accumulated five tackles (three solo) over that span.

Saints' D'Marco Jackson: Returns for OTAs
Jackson (undisclosed) participated throughout Saints' recent OTAs, John Hendrix of Sports Illustrated reports.
New Orleans' 2022 fifth-round selection spent all of his rookie season on injured reserve with an undisclosed injury suffered before the season, but it seems like he's since moved past the issue. Jackson won the 2021 Sun Belt Defensive Player of the Year, racking up 119 tackles, 20 tackles for loss and 6.0 sacks for Appalachian State that season. Barring any setbacks, expect the second-year linebacker to compete for a depth role on the Saints defense in 2023.

Saints' D'Marco Jackson: Moves to IR
New Orleans placed Jackson (undisclosed) on its IR list Tuesday, Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reports.
It's not clear what injury Jackson is dealing with, but the move means he'll be shut down for the entirety of the 2022-23 season unless he works out an injury settlement with the team. As he works to rehab from whatever's holding him out, his absence will open up opportunities for Andrew Dowell and Eric Wilson at linebacker.

Saints' D'Marco Jackson: Big Easy bound
The Saints selected Jackson in the fifth round of the 2022 NFL Draft, 161st overall.
Jackson consistently marked up the stat sheet at Appalachian State, as he posted 221 tackles, 25.5 tackles for loss, 14 pass breakups, 8.5 sacks and three interceptions over his final two seasons. He's light for a linebacker at 6-foot, 233 pounds, but his 4.55 40-yard dash gives him range and provides immediate utility on special teams.
