He impressed the Eagles during the preseason, and despite suffering a back injury during training camp the team signed him to the active roster. Jackson recovered to make his season debut in Week 9, and he went on to play in the Eagles' last nine games of the season. He played 22.8 percent of the Eagles' snaps. He drew five of his seven targets in Week 18 against the Dallas Cowboys, catching three for 22 yards and his first NFL touchdown on 21 routes run. 21 of his 22 yards came in YAC, though Jackson did draw 70 air yards in 2021. Jackson also suffered an ACL injury in the game, putting his availability for the start of the 2022 season in doubt. This will be unlikely to affect his fantasy ranking, given his likely very late ADP.
