The Panthers signed Jackson to their active roster Thursday.
Jackson spent the last three weeks with Carolina's practice squad, but he's now been promoted to the team's active roster. The Coastal Carolina product most recently appeared in a regular-season game in 2022 with the Eagles, where he failed to record a single stat while playing 38 total snaps (26 defensive and 12 on special teams) across four contests.
Jackson was activated from the reserve/COVID-19 list Wednesday.
Jackson spent only two days in COVID protocols and was not forced to miss any games. With fellow defensive end Derek Barnett still in protocols, it's possible Jackson could see a bigger role than usual Sunday against Washington.

Jackson was placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list Monday.
Jackson saw 34 defensive snaps in Sunday's win over the Giants, his highest total of the season. He logged only one tackle despite also playing a substantial role on special teams. Jackson could be activated in time for Sunday's matchup against Washington.
Jackson made the Eagles' 53-man roster, Dave Zangaro of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.
The team liked what they saw of their 2021 sixth-round pick to keep him around, most likely as a developmental prospect. He'll get to learn behind established veterans Brandon Graham, Derek Barnett, Josh Sweat and Ryan Kerrigan.
