November 27, 2025
Jackson (knee) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.
ANALYSIS
Jackson was a full participant in Wednesday's practice but was not given the same workload during Thursday's session. It could've been a maintenance day for the fourth-year defensive end, who is recovering from a knee injury that caused him to be placed on injured reserve in mid-October. He'll need to be activated from IR in order to play Sunday against the Broncos.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Year 3 breakout candidate
DESan Francisco 49ers
May 19, 2024
Jackson could break out with a larger role in his third NFL season on San Francisco's revamped defensive front, according to Bradley Locker of Pro Football Focus.
ANALYSIS
The 49ers parted ways with Arik Armstead, Chase Young, Javon Kinlaw and Clelin Ferrell in the offseason, and while the team brought in veteran Leonard Floyd, there should still be more opportunities left over for Jackson to take on a larger role. With Nick Bosa drawing consistent double teams, Jackson could thrive as a pass rusher in one-on-one matchups. Jackson had 3.0 sacks and 14 pressures in 2023 but didn't play after Week 8 due to a knee injury.
