Jackson was on his second stint with the Eagles. He was previously drafted by Philadelphia in the second round of the 2008 draft, playing for six seasons before being released and finally signed by the Washington Football Team.
Three times as a Bowler, Jackson returned to Philadelphia after two seasons with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He had an excellent start to the season, but came to an end quickly when he suffered an injury to the central muscle and had to undergo surgery.
He returned in 2020, but suffered several injuries that led him to lose 11 games.
