Jackson (foot) was spotted participating in minicamp Wednesday, Michael Clemons of the Raiders' official site reports.
Jackson was sidelined for Las Vegas' final 13 games last season due to a foot injury, but it now appears he's moved past the issue. The third-year pro from Washington State has primarily contributed as a special teamer throughout his NFL career, recording six total tackles and one pass defensed across 10 contests while logging 148 total snaps (103 on special teams, 45 on defense).

Raiders' Brennan Jackson: Lands on IR
Rotowire
The Raiders placed Jackson on injured reserve Friday due to a foot injury.
Jackson saw his practice participation steadily decrease over the week, and his foot injury is severe enough for him to require a stint on injured reserve. He'll be forced to miss at least four games, making Week 10 against the Broncos on Thursday, Nov. 6 the earliest he can return. Jackson has logged three tackles (two solo) through three games while serving solely on special teams this season.

Rams' Brennan Jackson: Adds needed depth in LA
Rotowire
The Rams selected Jackson in the fifth round of the 2024 NFL Draft, 154th overall.
The Rams have aggressively added to their defensive line in the draft, as Jackson marks the third player selected up front. Known for his pass-rushing abilities, Jackson tallied 20.0 sacks across four healthy seasons with Washington State -- including 8.5 in his senior campaign. While his collegiate production was excellent, Jackson is considered stiff in his movements and also had just a 25th-percentile wingspan. Despite those shortcomings, he'll almost certainly find the field immediately as a pass-rush specialist for the Rams.
