Packers' Domani Jackson: Recovering from offseason surgery
Rotowire
Head coach Matt LaFleur said Tuesday that Jackson is working his way back from core muscle surgery that he underwent in the offseason, Weston Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.
"Hopefully [Jackson will] be out there shortly," LaFleur told reporters following Tuesday's training camp practice. Jackson was a sixth-round selection of the Packers in the 2026 NFL Draft following a four-year college career, the last two years of which he spent at Alabama. He's unlikely to see much playing time on defense, but Jackson could stick around on the 53-man roster as a contributor on special teams.

Packers' Domani Jackson: Added by Green Bay
Rotowire
The Packers selected Jackson in the sixth round of the 2026 NFL Draft, 201st overall.
Jackson (6-foot-1, 194 pounds) spent the first two years of his collegiate career at USC, where he emerged as a starter in 2023 before transferring to Alabama. There, he started all 13 games in 2024 and 10 of 15 appearances in 2025. The 23-year-old's consistency in coverage leaves much to be desired, as evidenced by his total starts and snaps declining in his final year with the Crimson Tide, but Green Bay appears intrigued by upside provided by the former track sprinter's speed (4.41-second 40-yard dash). Jackson stands to begin his career with the Packers primarily in a developmental role and potentially also as a special-teams contributor.
