Jackson (foot) was a full participant in Thursday's practice.
The 26-year-old corner missed Buffalo's Week 6 win over the Giants with a foot injury, but it seems as if he's had enough time to move past the issue. Jackson is likely in for a bigger role on a Bills defense that's without Tre'Davious White (Achilles) for the remainder of the season.

Bills' Dane Jackson: Questionable for Sunday vs. Giants
Rotowire
Jackson (foot) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game versus the Giants.
Jackson managed limited participation at practice Friday after not practicing Wednesday and Thursday, at least giving himself a shot to suit up for Week 6. With long-time starter Tre'Davious White out for the season with a torn Achilles, Jackson may be Buffalo's second best healthy cover corner after Taron Johnson, though no one could seem to stop Calvin Ridley from having his way in last week's loss. Jackson is in line for a substantial role if he's able to play, but if his foot injury keeps him out, 2022 sixth-rounder Christian Benford could see more snaps than he might have otherwise. Fortunately for the Bills this week, the Giants lack star power in the passing game and won't even have starting quarterback Daniel Jones (neck).

Bills' Dane Jackson: In line for bigger role
Rotowire
Jackson, who saw a season-high 44 snaps while registering four tackles in Buffalo's win over Miami on Sunday, is in line for more playing time in the wake of Tre'Davious White's season-ending Achilles injury, Maddy Glab of the Bills' official site reports. "Dane, Christian, Kaiir, we expect those guys to step in and to play to the best of their ability," assistant coach Eric Washington said this week.
Jackson may not be on the field 100 percent of the defensive snaps, as Taron Johnson plays a hybrid role and is out there most of the time in various roles, plus Kaiir Elam, a first-rounder from last season, will also be asked to step up, but Jackson could be in store for some bigger IDP production. If he starts this week in London against the Jaguars, it will be his 23rd start since being drafted by the Bills in the seventh round in 2020.

Bills' Dane Jackson: Still dealing with injury
Rotowire
Jackson (knee) is day-to-day according to head coach Sean McDermott, Michael Giardi of NFL Network reports.
Jackson was forced out of the team's win over the Dolphins on Sunday with the injury. His status for the AFC divisional round will likely remain in question leading up to the game. If he's ultimately unable to play, Kaiir Elam and Taron Johnson will likely see extra opportunities against the Bengals.

Bills' Dane Jackson: Questionable with knee injury
Rotowire
Jackson is questionable to return to Sunday's wild-card matchup against the Dolphins due to a knee injury.
Jackson recorded three tackles (one solo) before exiting the contest with a knee injury. Kaiir Elam has replaced Jackson as the top cornerback opposite Tre'Davious White, but Buffalo is expected to rotate Taron Johnson in as well, per Katherine Fitzgerald of The Buffalo News.

Bills' Dane Jackson: Cleared to return Sunday
Rotowire
Jackson (stinger) returned to Sunday's game against the Chiefs, Matt Parrino of The Syracuse Post-Standard reports.
Jackson was forced out of Sunday's contest versus the Chiefs with a stinger injury, but he's since returned to the field. The 25-year-old, along with Taron Johnson and Kaiir Elam, should continue operating as the Bills' top cornerbacks for the remainder of Sunday's game in Kansas City.

Bills' Dane Jackson: Doesn't participate in walk-through
Rotowire
Jackson (neck) was a non-participant during Wednesday's walk-through practice, Chris Brown of the Bills' official site reports.
Jackson was released from the hospital Tuesday after testing determined that he didn't suffer a major neck injury. However, the Bills are expected to take a cautious approach to the 25-year-old's return to the field after he took a scary hit during Monday's win over the Titans.

Bills' Dane Jackson: Taken off in ambulance
Rotowire
Jackson (upper body) exited Monday's game via ambulance after taking a hit to the head and neck area near the end of the first half, Doug Kyed of Pro Football Focus reports. He will undergo a CT scan and an X-ray at ECMC Hospital in Buffalo, per the Bills' official press release.
Jackson suffered a scary hit to the head from a teammate while the two attempted to make a tackle near the end of the first half of Monday's game against the Titans. The 25-year-old was seen moving his extremities while down on the field after sustaining this injury, according to Kyed. While the exact nature of this injury is still unclear, the serious nature of Jackson's departure indicates that he will stay out for the remainder of Monday's game.

Bills' Dane Jackson: Questionable Monday
Rotowire
Jackson (knee) is officially listed as questionable for Monday's tilt against the Titans.
Jackson was a non-participant at practice earlier in the week before logging a full workload Saturday. Thus, he does appear to be trending in the right direction. His status is unlikely to be determined until close to kickoff.

Bills' Dane Jackson: Sits out Friday's walk-through
Rotowire
Jackson (knee) didn't participate in Friday's walk-through practice.
After a standout camp, Jackson earned a starting job at corner, at least until Tre'Davious White (knee) returns. He played 64 defensive snaps in the season opener and recorded five tackles, one pass defense and one interception. However, he's been sidelined for back-to-back practices due to a knee injury leading up to Week 2. If Jackson is unable to suit up Monday against the Titans, rookies Kaiir Elam and Christian Benford could both be thrust into starting roles.

Bills' Dane Jackson: Big opportunity ahead
Rotowire
Jackson is expected to see increased action in the wake of Tre'Davious White's season-ending knee injury, Maddy Glab of the Bills' official site reports. "I think Dane Jackson is one of those guys who will step up," defensive coordinator Frazier said this week. "He's the next man up and he'll do a good job for us. But to say that he will play at the level of Tre'Davious, that would be misleading for sure."
Jackson saw a season-high 63 percent of the snaps in the team's Thanksgiving win over New Orleans, and his time should be at least at that level going forward, as he's now the third best corner left after starter Levi Wallace and slot corner Taron Johnson. Expect to see Jackson in on at least a few tackles as Bill Belichick and Mac Jones test out the unproven corner in Week 13.

Bills' Dane Jackson: Back to work
Rotowire
Jackson (neck) was back at practice Wednesday sporting a red no-contact jersey, Mark Gaughan of The Buffalo News reports.
It seems as if Jackson will be set to go when the Bills take on the Steelers in Week 1, though he probably didn't do enough this summer -- the untimely injury certainly didn't help -- to overtake Levi Wallace for the No. 2 cornerback spot. The Bills remain high on Jackson, however, so the 2020 seventh-rounder should see the field aplenty this season.

Bills' Dane Jackson: Week 17 promotion
Rotowire
Jackson has been elevated from the practice squad ahead of Sunday's game against Miami, the Bills' official site reports.
The seventh-round rookie last suited up Week 10, but all signs point to the Bills using at least part of Sunday's game as a chance to rest up some starters, so Jackson could see some action in the regular-season finale.
