  • Bengals' McKinnley Jackson: Ramps up in rookie season

    Jackson finished the 2024 regular season with 15 tackles (six solo), including 1.0 sacks, and one forced fumble across 13 games.

    Jackson was the Bengals' third-round selection in the 2024 NFL Draft, but he started the regular season on injured reserve due to a right knee sprain that he suffered during training camp. He made his NFL regular-season debut in Week 5 against the Ravens but didn't register his first tackle until Week 8 against the Eagles, and his lone sack came against Dorian Thompson-Robinson and the Browns in Week 16. Jackson didn't play more than 30 defensive snaps in a game this season, but he and fellow rookie Kris Jenkins could be the Bengals' starting defensive tackles in 2025 if B.J. Hill opts to sign with another team during the offseason.

  • Bengals' McKinnley Jackson: Activated Friday

    Jackson (knee) was activated from injured reserve Friday.

  • Bengals' McKinnley Jackson: Questionable for Sunday

    Jackson (knee) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Ravens.

    The rookie defensive lineman was designated to return from Cincinnati's injured reserve list Wednesday and has practiced in full all week, so it appears likely that his NFL debut could come in Week 5. However, Jackson must be activated to the Bengals' active roster by the time of Sunday's contest to play. If that doesn't happen, expect Lawrence Guy to see increased work on the Bengals' defensive line.

  • Bengals' McKinnley Jackson: Returns Wednesday

    Jackson (knee) was designated to return from injured reserve Wednesday, Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic reports.

    Jackson returned to practice Wednesday and was able to log a full session, indicating that he could potentially suit up as soon as Week 5. However, the Bengals must activate Jackson to the team's active roster in order for the rookie to play in Sunday's matchup against the Ravens. If Jackson is activated in time for Week 5, expect him to serve as a depth piece on the Bengals' defensive line.

  • Bengals' McKinnley Jackson: Nearing return

    Head coach Zac Taylor told reporters Monday that the Bengals will open Jackson's (knee) 21-day practice window closer to Wednesday, Jay Morrison of SI.com reports.

    Jackson appears to be nearing a return to the field after sustaining a knee sprain during early August that's kept him out of Cincinnati's first four contests. Once the rookie's practice window opens, the Bengals have 21 days to activate him to their active roster or he'll revert back to injured reserve. Expect Jackson to serve as a rotational defensive tackle when he's ready to make his NFL debut.
