A confounding season for Green Bay Packers cornerback Josh Jackson will continue on Saturday.
Jackson, a second-round pick in 2018, is a healthy scratch for the second time in three weeks. He is officially inactive for Saturday’s visit from the Carolina Panthers.
Jackson played just 103 snaps on defense last season and has been a healthy scratch four times in 2020, although he did play an extensive role when Kevin King was injured during the middle of the season.
The Packers will go with King, Jaire Alexander, Chandon Sullivan and Ka’dar Hollman at cornerback against the Panthers.
Tight end Jace Sternberger and guard Simon Stepaniak were already ruled out with injuries, and rookies Jordan Love and Jonathan Garvin are also inactive.
The Packers will have receiver Malik Taylor, who was questionable with a hamstring injury.
The Panthers will be without running back Christian McCaffrey and left tackle Russell Okung, who are both inactive with injuries.
