  • Totals 104 yards in win

    Jackson carried the ball nine times for 72 yards and also caught one of his two receptions for 32 yards in Sunday's 38-21 win over the Chiefs.

    Analysis: It's worth noting the Chiefs benched the majority of their starters having already locked up the No. 1 seed in the AFC prior to Sunday's affair, but the 104 total yards on just 10 touches is still a nice reminder of Jackson's talents after being buried behind Kalen Ballage for much of the second half of the season. Austin Ekeler, who left Sunday's game with a concussion, will still be the unquestioned starter entering next year, but there will be legitimate intrigue regarding the backup role…read more

  • Just eight offensive snaps in win

    Jackson tallied just four yards on two carries in the 19-16 win over the Broncos on Sunday.

    Analysis: Not much to see here as Jackson registered just eight offensive snaps -- eight less than clear-cut backup Kalen Ballage and a whopping 29 less than starter Austin Ekeler. Despite playing in just eight games this season, the third-year pro needs just nine more yards to surpass his career-high in rushing.

  • Healthy scratch for TNF

    Jackson (coach's decision) won't suit up in Thursday's game against the Raiders.

    Analysis: Jackson served as a depth option at running back in last week's win over the Falcons, rushing the ball just three times for nine yards. The Northwestern product didn't return to prominence as some might have hoped after coming off injured reserve Saturday, and this news confirms his slide down the depth chart. With Jackson sidelined, Austin Ekeler, Kalen Ballage and Joshua Kelley will be the running backs for Thursday's divisional matchup.

  • Clearly depth option at RB

    Jackson (knee) carried the ball three times for nine yards and caught all three of his targets for 10 yards in Sunday's 20-17 win over the Falcons.

    Analysis: Fantasy managers hoping Jackson would return to some sort of prominence after coming off injured reserve earlier last week officially had their hopes dashed Sunday, as the third-year tailback saw just 11 offensive snaps and woefully trailed Austin Ekeler and Kalen Ballage in terms of playing time. Ekeler evidently suffered a quad injury during the win, which was serious enough for the Chargers to estimate him as a nonparticipant in Monday's practice, but even if Ekeler were to miss time, expect…read more

  • Taken off IR

    Jackson (knee) was activated from injured reserve Saturday.

    Analysis: It'll be interesting to see where Jackson fits into a running back equation that has gotten more complicated with the emergence of Kalen Ballage and return of Austin Ekeler (hamstring). Considering the backfield will likely run through the aforementioned names first and foremost, it's hard to envision a scenario where Jackson returns to fantasy relevancy so long as Ekeler and Ballage are healthy.

  • May be activated for Sunday's game

    Coach Anthony Lynn said Friday that Jackson (knee) may be activated from IR ahead of Sunday's game versus the Falcons, Jeff Miller of the Los Angeles Times reports.

    Analysis: Jackson showed some explosiveness earlier this season and ran ahead of Joshua Kelley at the time, but he's missed the last four games with a knee injury. Since picking up the injury, Kalen Ballage has emerged as a viable running back, and Austin Ekeler returned from a lengthy stay on IR. Ekeler will be the undisputed No. 1 back moving forward, and it's tough to project where Jackson will slot in once he's ready.

  • Designated for return

    The Chargers designated Jackson (knee) to return from injured reserve Wednesday, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Jackson was back at practice Wednesday, opening a three-week window wherein he can be monitored without counting against Los Angeles' active roster. With Austin Ekeler back in action, Jackson would almost certainly be relegated to a depth role if he returns, though he could push Kalen Ballage for No. 2 duties.

  • Will miss at least three weeks

    The Chargers placed Jackson (knee) on injured reserve Saturday.

    Analysis: Jackson's knee injury has lingered since he was injured early in last Sunday's game, and the Chargers opted to shut him down with the hope that he'll return fully healthy after three weeks. In a corresponding move, they signed Kalen Ballage to the active roster to join Joshua Kelley and Troymaine Pope (neck) in the backfield. Jackson is eligible to return Dec. 6 against the Patriots, but by that time, Austin Ekeler (hamstring) could be back, which would diminish any role for Jackson.

  • Ruled out for Week 10

    Jackson (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game at Miami.

    Analysis: Jackson lasted just two snaps before he was removed from a Week 9 loss to the Raiders due to an unspecified knee injury. Unable to practice at all this week, he'll be sidelined officially for the first time since Week 3, allowing Joshua Kelley, Troymaine Pope (neck) and Kalen Ballage to man the Chargers backfield.

  • Sits out another practice

    Jackson (knee) remained sidelined at practice Thursday.

    Analysis: We'll circle back on Jackson's status Friday, but if he ends up ruled out for Sunday's game against the Dolphins, look for some combo of Troymaine Pope, Joshua Kelley and Kalen Ballage to share the Chargers' Week 10 carries.

  • Iffy for Week 10

    Coach Anthony Lynn suggested Wednesday that he's leaning toward resting Jackson (knee) at practice this week, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Lynn also noted that he'll make a decision later in the week regarding whether Jackson will play Sunday against the Dolphins, but Popper suggests that it "doesn't sound promising" for the 24-year-old. If Jackson is held out this weekend, Kalen Ballage, Joshua Kelley and Troymaine Pope (concussion) will be candidates for added work in the team's backfield.

  • Unable to fight through injury

    Jackson played only two more snaps in Sunday's loss against the Raiders after injuring his knee during the first drive of the game.

    Analysis: He was removed from the contest after injuring his knee on the first play of the game, and while he tried to return, he was quickly shut down again. It'll be interesting to see what Jackson's practice status will be in the coming weeks, as Kalen Ballage filled in admirably to the tune of 84 yards and a touchdown.

  • Reenters Sunday's contest

    Jackson (knee) returned to Sunday's game versus the Raiders, Jeff Miller of the Los Angeles Times reports.

    Analysis: Jackson departed in the first quarter before recording a touch, but now that's he back, he'll mix in with Joshua Kelley and Kalen Ballage out of the Chargers' backfield.

  • Exits Sunday's game

    Jackson was forced out of Sunday's game against the Raiders with a knee injury.

    Analysis: With Jackson banged up in the first quarter of the contest, the Chargers have turned to Kalen Ballage and Joshua Kelley to handle the team's backfield work.

  • Regains grip on backfield

    Jackson carried the ball 17 times for 89 yards in Week 8 against the Broncos. He added three receptions for 53 yards.

    Analysis: Jackson accounted for 17 of the Chargers' 38 total rushing attempts, regaining his role in the backfield after getting only 10 touches in Week 7. He made the most of his opportunities, recording a reception of 34 yards and breaking off runs of 22 and 18 yards. Austin Ekeler (hamstring) is still without a timetable to return, so Jackson could be in for a heavy workload again in Week 9 against the Raiders.

  • Just 10 touches in Week 7

    Jackson (knee) rushed five times for 12 yards and caught five of six targets for 43 yards in Sunday's 39-29 win over the Jaguars.

    Analysis: Jackson produced 55 scrimmage yards to Joshua Kelley's 53 despite the latter getting seven more touches. The lack of volume can likely be chalked up to Jackson playing through a knee injury given his superior efficiency, but it's still disappointing that he wasn't more productive given this game's high-scoring nature. If Jackson feels healthier in Week 8 against the Broncos, expect him to carry a larger portion of the backfield workload with Austin Ekeler (hamstring) still unavailable.

  • Suiting up Week 7

    Jackson (knee) is listed as active Sunday against the Jaguars.

    Analysis: Jackson's practice reps were capped Wednesday and Thursday before he logged a full session to wrap up the week. Despite the activity, the Chargers listed him as questionable. Adam Schefter of ESPN later reported that Jackson was expected to suit up Sunday, and indeed he's upheld his end of the bargain. Jackson will be working in conjunction with rookie fourth-rounder Joshua Kelley versus a Jacksonville defense that has conceded 156.8 yards from scrimmage per game and nine touchdowns to running…read more

  • Likely available Sunday

    Jackson (knee) is expected to play Sunday against the Jaguars, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: Jackson received the questionable tag despite practicing as a full participant Friday, so it's not a major surprise he's on track to play Week 7. The 24-year-old could be in line for a big day if he's active and avoids aggravating the knee injury, as Jacksonville allows the fifth-most rushing yards in the league (143.8 YPG). Joshua Kelley is poised for a larger workload should Jackson be limited or unavailable Sunday.

  • Listed as questionable

    Though Jackson (knee) practiced fully Friday, he's listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Jaguars, Gilbert Manzano of The Orange County Register reports.

    Analysis: When asked whether he expected Jackson to be a go this weekend, coach Anthony Lynn replied "we'll see," per Daniel Popper of The Athletic. With that in mind, the running back's status will need to be tracked in advance of Sunday's 4:25 ET kickoff. If Jackson is limited or out this weekend, added touches would be available for Joshua Kelley.

  • Still limited Thursday

    Jackson (knee) remained limited at practice Thursday.

    Analysis: We'll revisit Jackson's status Friday to see if he heads into the weekend listed as questionable or free from a Week 7 injury designation. If he is able to suit up Sunday against the Jaguars, he'll continue to share the Chargers' backfield duties with Joshua Kelley.

  • Limited at practice Wednesday

    Jackson was listed as a limited practice participant Wednesday due to a knee injury, Gilbert Manzano of The Orange County Register reports.

    Analysis: The Chargers were on bye Week 6, making it uncertain whether Jackson is nursing a minor knee issue or if he sustained an in-practice injury Wednesday. With Austin Ekeler (hamstring) expected to miss several more weeks, Jackson and Joshua Kelley should continue to remain in a timeshare out of the backfield Sunday against the Jaguars, assuming Jackson gains clearance to play.

  • Almost totals 100 yards

    Jackson rushed 15 times for 71 yards and caught five of his six targets for 23 yards in Monday night's 30-27 overtime loss to the Saints.

    Analysis: Jackson broke free for 36 yards on a run during the first quarter, which set him up to lead the Chargers' backfield attack. Although the Saints made it tough to run afterward, Jackson at least commanded volume and pitched in with a handful of catches as well. In comparison, fellow tailback Joshua Kelley only managed 29 yards on 11 carries and caught just one pass for nine yards. Given that discrepancy, it wouldn't be surprising if the veteran Jackson earns another sizeable workload in Week 6…read more

  • Returns with minimal action

    Jackson rushed eight times for 13 yards and brought in two targets for 12 yards in Sunday's 38-31 loss to the Buccaneers.

    Analysis: It was a rough return for Jackson, who missed the previous two games due to a quad injury. It's unclear whether he struggled because of the difficult matchup or simply as a byproduct of working back into game shape, but the third-year pro will have to become a factor with Austin Ekeler (hamstring) shelved for the next four-to-six weeks according to Adam Schefter of ESPN. Joshua Kelley, who totaled 33 yards on 12 touches, figures to be the first man up, but considering the Chargers heavily…read more

  • Returns to full practice

    Jackson (quadriceps) practiced fully Wednesday.

    Analysis: Jackson is thus on track to return to action Sunday against the Buccaneers, but his workload may be difficult to project. Rookie fourth-round pick Joshua Kelley has emerged as a vital piece in the Chargers' game plan through the first three weeks, and his skills as a between-the-tackles thumper may make him a better complement than Jackson for starter Austin Ekeler.

  • Sidelined again Week 3

    Jackson (quadriceps) is inactive for Sunday's contest against the Panthers.

    Analysis: Jackson has yet to practice since injuring his quadriceps Week 1, missing two outings in the process. With Austin Ekeler leading the Chargers' ground game, Joshua Kelley will be the alternative option for RB snaps with Jackson out of the lineup.

  • Draws doubtful tag

    Jackson (quadriceps) is officially listed as doubtful for Sunday's game against the Panthers, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Jackson appears on track to miss a second consecutive game due to his lingering quadriceps injury, a development which would put Joshua Kelley on track to once again dominate No. 2 touches behind Austin Ekeler. If Kelley manages to log another strong showing against the Panthers on Sunday, and Jackson indeed is sidelined, the latter may only end up left with a marginal role by the time he does retake the field.

  • Still not practicing

    Jackson (quadriceps) didn't participate in Wednesday's practice.

    Analysis: Jackson's in danger of missing a second straight game in Week 3, as he hasn't practiced since suffering this injury in the season opener. The Northwestern product has been usurped by rookie Joshua Kelley as the No. 2 RB behind Austin Ekeler, and at this point, Ekeler and Kelley are a 1A-1B tandem in the Chargers' backfield. A quick return by Jackson likely won't change that, but he'll aim to get on the field in some capacity by the end of the week.

  • Out as expected Week 2

    Jackson (quadriceps) is inactive for Sunday's Week 2 tilt against the Chiefs.

    Analysis: Jackson entered the day with a doubtful designation, so this news is of little surprise. The Chargers backfield will once again be helmed by Austin Ekeler and Joshua Kelley, the latter standing out Week 1 with 60 rushing yards and a touchdown in his pro debut.

  • Not in line to play Week 2

    Jackson (quadriceps), who is listed as doubtful for Sunday's game against the Chiefs, isn't expected to play, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: With Jackson still battling the quad injury he picked up in the Chargers' Week 1 win over the Bengals, he'll likely be included among Los Angeles' inactive players Week 2. Joshua Kelley is expected to step in as the clear top backup behind starting running back Austin Ekeler, while practice-squad callup Darius Bradwell will offer additional depth at the position.

  • Doubtful after missing practice

    Jackson (quadriceps) isn't practicing Friday, per Daniel Popper of The Athletic. He is officially listed as doubtful for Sunday's game against Kansas City, Gilbert Manzano of the Orange County Register reports.

    Analysis: That's three consecutive missed practices for Jackson this week, so it's not surprising that he's more likely than not to sit out against the Chiefs come Sunday. If Jackson can't go, rookie Joshua Kelley will have an opportunity to further cement himself as the team's No. 2 running back behind Austin Ekeler following an impressive debut.

  • Still missing time

    Jackson (quadriceps) didn't suit up in Thursday's practice.

    Analysis: Thursday marked the second consecutive practice missed for Jackson, signalling some real concern for his Week 2 availability. Look for the Chargers to promote Darius Bradwell from their practice squad, in any case, and if Jackson is limited or fails to suit up Sunday versus the Chiefs entirely, Joshua Kelley would be in line for depth snaps behind starter Austin Ekeler.

    Jackson (quad) won't practice Wednesday, Gilbert Manzano of The Orange County Register reports.

    Analysis: Though the Chargers plan to promote Darius Bradwell from their practice squad, at this stage coach Anthony Lynn isn't ruling Jackson out for Sunday's game against the Chiefs. If he's out or limited this weekend, added looks behind starter Austin Ekeler would be available for Joshua Kelley.

  • Considered day-to-day

    Coach Anthony Lynn said Monday that Jackson (quadriceps) is day-to-day, Gilbert Manzano of The Orange County Register reports.

    Analysis: "We'll try to work [Jackson] in practice some time this week if he can," Lynn said. Jackson, who missed nine games due to a foot injury in 2019, only logged two carries for four yards before exiting Sunday's game against the Bengals. Rookie fourth-round pick Joshua Kelley had 12 carries for 60 yards and a score Week 1, and he looked like a productive complement to Austin Ekeler, so it's possible that Jackson could be relegated to the No. 3 role when he does return.

  • Won't return Sunday

    Jackson is ruled out to retake the field Sunday against Cincinnati due to a quad injury.

    Analysis: Jackson will work to shake his quad injury in time to return against Kansas City in Week 2. He carried the ball twice for four yards before leaving the field Sunday. Rookie fourth-round pick Joshua Kelley stands to see increased touches as long as Jackson remains sidelined.

  • Cleared for Week 1

    Jackson (toe) wasn't listed on Wednesday's injury report and will play in Sunday's matchup versus the Bengals.

    Analysis: Jackson dealt with a toe injury toward the end of training camp, but the 24-year-old running back has shaken off the issue and will be ready to begin his third NFL season. It's still uncertain whether Jackson or rookie Joshua Kelley is the No. 2 behind Austin Ekeler, but Jackson does have an edge with experience, as he produced 200 yards on 29 carries (6.9 YPC) last year.

  • Should be ready for Week 1

    Head coach Anthony Lynn said Jackson (toe) has been running and will be "fine" for Sunday's game versus the Bengals, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: It sounds like Jackson will be at practice Wednesday in at least a limited capacity and should be working at full speed by the end of the week. He's missed more than a week of practice, which is detrimental because he's competing with Joshua Kelley for snaps behind Austin Ekeler, but his status should be secure if he stays on the field this week. Lynn has yet to name the Chargers' No. 2 RB, but Jackson has a leg up based on experience.

  • Dealing with foot issue

    Jackson was held out from Sunday's practice with a foot injury, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: This is the first report we've seen this summer of Jackson missing practice time, as he otherwise appears to be the favorite to serve as Austin Ekeler's complement in the backfield. A prolonged absence could open the door for fourth-round rookie Joshua Kelley, but there hasn't been any indication Jackson's injury is serious.

  • Looking good for backup role

    Jackson has the inside track for the No. 2 job in the Los Angeles backfield, Gilbert Manzano of The Orange County Register reports.

    Analysis: His biggest fan may be lead back Austin Ekeler, who praised his teammate as "so unique," and even said he's making an effort to emulate aspects of Jackson's running style. Jackson has averaged 5.1 yards on 79 carries and has caught 24 of 30 targets to this point in his career, but injuries have limited him to 20 appearances in two seasons, perhaps playing a role in the Chargers' selection of Joshua Kelley in the fourth round of April's draft.

  • Facing competition from rookie

    Jackson could face competition from fourth-round selection Joshua Kelley, Chris Hayre of the Chargers' official site reports.

    Analysis: Following Kelley's selection, coach Anthony Lynn touted the rookie as a bigger-bodied back capable of carrying the load in goal-line and short-yardage situations, much like ex-Charger Melvin Gordon. With Austin Ekeler entrenched as the top pass catcher out of the backfield and also likely to see more work in early down scenarios sans Gordon, Jackson could become more of an afterthought on offense if Kelley lives up to expectations. The distinction of "starter" has long been a foreign concept…read more

  • Mundane conclusion to season

    Jackson (hamstring) carried the ball once in Sunday's loss to the Chiefs. He finished his season with 200 rushing yards on 29 attempts, and he also recorded nine receptions for 22 yards while playing just 93 offensive snaps.

    Analysis: What the Chargers ultimately do with star running back Melvin Gordon in the offseason could have a trickle-down effect for Jackson. The Northwestern alum was electric with a handful of opportunities in 2019, particularly in the opening three weeks with Gordon sidelined due to a holdout. Just 93 offensive snaps is a small sample size, but Jackson was incredibly productive throughout his four-year collegiate career, posting over 1,100 rushing each season. He would be a cost-effective backup to…read more

    Jackson (hamstring) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice.

    Analysis: Jackson was limited in practice all of last week with a hamstring injury and he was ultimately unable to play in last weekend's loss to Oakland. However, a full return to the field Wednesday puts him on track to suit up for Sunday's matchup with Kansas City.

  • Unable to play Sunday

    Jackson (hamstring) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Raiders.

    Analysis: Jackson previously missed eight games due to a calf injury, and now he'll miss another after sustaining a hamstring strain. The second-year running back takes a backseat to Melvin Gordon and Austin Ekeler anyway, but Jackson has been productive this year with 28 touches for 189 yards -- 6.8 yards per carry. Troymaine Pope could see an increase in usage while Jackson is out.

  • Wears questionable tag for Sunday

    Jackson (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against Oakland.

    Analysis: Jackson got three limited practices in this week as he looks to suit up in a third straight game since missing eight of his previous nine with a calf injury. The 23-year-old has seen a handful of carries in each of the two games since his return and would be in line for a similar role Sunday if he plays.

  • Nursing hamstring injury

    Jackson (hamstring) was limited during Wednesday's practice.

    Analysis: Jackson garnered seven touches -- his highest total since Week 3 -- in Week 15's 39-10 loss to the Vikings. The second-year pro's increased usage was likely a result of the blowout nature of the game, but Jackson is also trying out for an increased role next year as Melvin Gordon likely will be with another organization. This hamstring injury could throw a wrench in Jackson's plans of turning heads over the final two weeks, but he still has two more practices to elevate to full participation.

  • Gets involved in offense

    Jackson carried the ball five times for 15 yards and also caught both of his targets for eight yards in Sunday's 39-10 demolishing at the hands of the Vikings.

    Analysis: The second-year back made his second appearance in the month of December --- and only his third since Week 4 --- thanks to a dismal outing from Melvin Gordon, who finished the afternoon with just 28 rushing yards and two fumbles lost. It'll be interesting to see how the Chargers handle their talented third-string running back in the weeks to come. With postseason aspirations long since evaporated and the likely possibility Gordon will not return next season, the Chargers could look to give…read more

  • Makes first appearance since Week 9

    Jackson carried the ball three times for 25 yards in the 45-10 win Sunday over the Jaguars.

    Analysis: Sunday's contest marked only the second time since Week 3 that Jackson took the field, with a multiscore lead making the need for Melvin Gordon or Austin Ekeler arbitrary. The second-year tailback was more than serviceable as the backup to Ekeler during Gordon's multi-game holdout to begin the year, but at this point, the Northwestern alum is no more than a quality depth piece for the Chargers.

  • Practicing in full

    Jackson (calf) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice.

    Analysis: Jackson looks to have put San Diego's bye to good use and recovered from his lingering calf injury. Barring any setbacks, expect Jackson to play his usual depth role behind Melvin Gordon and Austin Ekeler during Sunday's tilt against the Broncos.

  • No practice Thursday

    Jackson (calf) was a non-participant in Thursday's practice, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Jackson has missed six of the Chargers' last seven games due to a lingering calf issue, and he wasn't able to practice in any capacity last week. Barring a quick turnaround in the week's final two practice sessions, the 23-year-old will likely remain sidelined versus the Chiefs on Monday.

  • Inactive versus Raiders

    Jackson (calf) is inactive for Thursday's contest against the Raiders.

    Analysis: Jackson didn't practice in any capacity this week, so his inactive designation doesn't come as much of a surprise. The second-year pro has missed six of the last seven games due to his lingering calf issue.

  • Unlikely to play in Week 10

    Jackson (calf) missed Wednesday's practice and is doubtful to play Thursday against Oakland.

    Analysis: At this point, after three straight days with no practice reps, all signs point to Jackson missing Thursday's game. Barring a crazy turn of events, the 23-year-old tailback will sit for a sixth time in seven weeks.

  • Absent again Tuesday

    Jackson (calf) did not practice Tuesday.

    Analysis: Jackson managed five snaps in Sunday's win over the Packers but has been held out of practice so far this week. Even if the 23-year-old returns to the practice field Wednesday and suits up Thursday against the Raiders, he would likely see limited duty behind Melvin Gordon and Austin Ekeler.

  • Still dealing with calf injury

    Jackson (calf) was estimated to be a non-participant on Monday's injury report.

    Analysis: Jackson missed five games with the calf injury before Sunday's win over the Packers, but he appears to be still dealing with the injury after rushing twice for seven yards and catching his lone target for seven yards. The 23-year-old will likely need to progress to limited participation by Wednesday to have a legitimate chance of suiting up Thursday at Oakland.
