At 6’2 and 263 pounds, Jackson was considered a long shot to make the Chargers’ final roster, as he was part of the team’s most competitive position group. He was also viewed as a bit of a ‘tweener,’ being tagged as an edge rusher but possessing the physique of a smaller defensive lineman. Throughout camp, his name had not come up in any discussions, whether positive or negative, so this development shouldn’t be unexpected.
With Jackson’s release, the Chargers now have a strong lineup of nine pass rushers remaining on the roster for the remainder of training camp.
