Drake Jackson will be sidelined for the 2024 campaign as he continues to recover from a knee injury, Adam La Rose of Pro Football Rumors reports. The third-year defensive end has been placed on the reserve/PUP list, per a team announcement.

Players moved to the active/PUP list at the start of training camp are permitted to be activated and return to practice at any time. The reserve/PUP designation, however, guarantees players are out for the entire campaign, just like injured reserve at this point in the offseason. Jackson’s absence will be felt along the edge for San Francisco.

The former second-rounder was limited to eight games last season due to the injury, and an update from earlier this week noted he would be absent for at least the remainder of training camp. Today’s news is a notable step beyond that, and it means Jackson’s attention will need to turn to the 2025 campaign. That year doubles as the end of his rookie contract.
