Doubtful for Week 11 Jackson (toe) is doubtful for Sunday's game against the Lions, Bill Voth of the Panthers' official site reports.
Impact Jackson has been playing through this injury for a while but seemed to hurt it further in the last game and will likely have to miss additional time as a result. Corn Elder will likely bump up to a starting role if Jackson sits.

Misses practice with toe injury Jackson (toe) didn't practice Wednesday, Bill Voth of the Panthers' official site reports.
Impact Jackson aggravated a previous toe injury in last week's loss to Tampa Bay, and considering he's been bothered by the injury for most of the season, it's possible the team will opt to give the cornerback some time to get healthier before he steps back on the field. If Jackson's unable to raise his practice participation over the next two days, he'll likely sit out Sunday against the Lions.

Could be sidelined Coach Matt Rhule said that Jackson "re-aggravated" his toe injury during Sunday's loss to the Buccaneers, Alaina Getzenberg of The Charlotte Observer reports.
Impact Jackson's a starting cornerback for the Panthers and has suited up in all 10 games so far, but he's played more than 50 percent of the defensive snaps on just four occasions due to his recurring toe injury. Rhule relayed that the team is looking at its options when asked whether they'd sit him going forward, and that may be necessary to finally get Jackson to 100 percent.

Toe remains bothersome Jackson is doubtful to return to Sunday's game against the Buccaneers with a toe injury, Alaina Getzenberg of The Charlotte Observer reports.
Impact The 25-year-old appeared to be clear of the turf toe as he practiced with no limitations this week, but it's apparently still an issue. Jackson is likely to finish the day with two total tackles.

Practices fully Wednesday Jackson (toe) logged a full practice Wednesday, Myles Simmons of the Panthers' official site reports.
Impact Jackson's return to practice coupled with coach Matt Rhule's optimism regarding the cornerback's injury earlier in the week pave the way for Jackson to suit up Sunday against the Chiefs. He'll need to be at the top of his game to help slow down a high-octane Kansas City passing attack that produced five touchdowns last week.

Questionable to return Thursday Jackson is questionable to return to Thursday's game against the Falcons with a toe injury, Alaina Getzenberg of The Charlotte Observer reports.
Impact Jackson was dealing with a toe injury prior to Week 7, indicating this may be a tweak of a previous ailment. As long as Jackson is out, Corn Elder figures to see increased snaps at cornerback.

Ready for Sunday's contest Jackson (toe) is active for Sunday's game versus the Saints, Myles Simmons of the Panthers' official site reports.
Impact Jackson has battled this toe injury all season, and although he hasn't missed a game, he's been on a pitch count nearly every contest. He's averaged just 28.3 defensive snaps per contest over the past four games, but he handled a 50 percent snap share last week against the Bears. The LSU product will look to stay on the field in this divisional clash, but he's tough to depend on in IDP fantasy formats, even though he's posted five pass breakups and two interceptions.

Should suit up Sunday Jackson (toe), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Saints, is expected to play, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Impact With the exception of Rasul Douglas (reserve/COVID-19 list), Carolina should have its entire cornerback group available Week 7, as Eli Apple (questionable, hamstring) is also expected to dress. Look for Jackson to spend most of the day shadowing Tre'Quan Smith, who is slated to serve as the Saints' No. 1 wideout with Michael Thomas (hamstring) and Emmanuel Sanders (reserve/COVID-19 list) sidelined.
