Panthers Acquire Cornerback Michael Jackson

The Carolina Panthers have bolstered their cornerback depth by trading a 2024 seventh-round pick for veteran Michael Jackson from the Seahawks, following Dane Jackson's significant hamstring injury that may sideline him for up to six weeks. Michael Jackson, entering his sixth NFL season, brings experience with 112 tackles and 19 passes defended across 38 games. Meanwhile, in New Orleans, the Saints activated tight end Juwan Johnson from the PUP list, who has been recovering from foot surgery, and signed cornerback Joejuan Williams to add depth amid injuries to key players. The Saints are also optimistic about the health of rookie CB Kool-Aid McKinstry ahead of their season opener. Both teams are actively addressing injury concerns and depth issues as they prepare for the upcoming season.
