Jackson

Greenlaw was ruled out for the Christmas showdown with Kansas City after suffering a non-contact injury against the Jags. Bryant was unable to clear the concussion protocol, so he’ll also miss Thursday’s divisional battle.

Jackson (6'4/294) received an invite to the NFL Scouting Combine, but did not participate in any of the exercises. Jackson was an anchor for the Falcons’ defense last season, and tied for the team lead with nine sacks while also forcing 28 stops in run defense. Jackson will get a chance to show his athleticism at Air Force’s pro day, which is scheduled to take place on March 28th. If he were to be drafted, Jackson won’t hear his name called until Day 3 of the draft. However, his ability to create pressure and contribute on run defense could make him an interesting player to monitor after the draft.
