Carolina Panthers cornerback Mike Jackson hinted at an imminent return to the field, telling reporters "We're getting close" during a media session on Thursday. Jackson has been sidelined with an undisclosed injury, and his potential comeback would bolster the Panthers' secondary as they prepare for upcoming games.
The 26-year-old defensive back, who joined Carolina in 2023, has recorded 45 tackles and two interceptions in his career. His return timeline remains uncertain, but the optimistic comment suggests he could be available within weeks.
