Bucs working out former Commanders CB William Jackson III

The Bucs are looking for cornerback depth after injuries to Carlton Davis and Jamel Dean.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are looking to shore up their cornerback depth.

Jordan Schultz of the Score reported on Wednesday that the Bucs are working out cornerback William Jackson III, who last played for the Washington Commanders in 2022.

Jackson is 30 years old, so he would bring some veteran experience to a relatively young corner room. So far in his career, he’s netted 205 tackles, five interceptions and 51 pass deflections. He was traded from the Commanders to the Steelers in 2022 after requesting a trade in Week 5, but he was released by Pittsburgh without playing a down for the team.

The workout likely comes in lieu of CB Jamel Dean’s shoulder injury he suffered on Monday Night Football against the Eagles. With CB Carlton Davis dealing with a slow-healing toe injury, depth is thin at the position and the Bucs may look to make a move to alleviate that.

Eagles are working out cornerback William Jackson III

The Philadelphia #Eagles are working out cornerback William Jackson III ahead of Week 3

William Jackson III made our list of ten potential replacements for injured cornerback Avonte Maddox, and according to Jordan Schultz, the veteran is in Philadelphia for a workout.

Maddox is out indefinitely and could miss the remainder of the season after suffering a torn pectoral muscle.

The Steelers traded for Jackson at the deadline last season in a deal with the Washington Commanders. The veteran cornerback never appeared in a game, was placed on injured reserve with a back issue, and never played a snap for the Steelers.

Jackson was a salary cap casualty but could provide depth and experience if healthy.

Report: Giants to work out CB William Jackson III

The New York Giants are reportedly set to work out veteran cornerback William Jackson, who split time with Washington and Dallas last year.

The New York Giants seemingly added two stud cornerbacks in the 2023 NFL draft with Detone Banks and Tre Hawkins but still aren’t quite satisfied at the position.

Behind Banks, Hawkins, and veteran Adoree’ Jackson, the Giants face a lot of question marks.

Cor’Dale Flott and Darnay Holmes have played solidly this summer but the depth is lacking. Aaron Robinson remains on the physically unable to perform (PUP) list and the remaining group — Amari Oruwariye, Darren Evans, Gemon Green and Zyon Gilbert — inspires little confidence.

With the regular season opener against the Dallas Cowboys just under three weeks away, general manager Joe Schoen may look to upgrade the unit.

Aaron Wilson reports that cornerback William Jackson III is en route to East Rutherford, New Jersey to work out for the Giants.

The 30-year-old Jackson was a first-round pick of the Cincinnati Bengals in the 2016 NFL draft. He joined the Washington Commanders in 2021 before being traded to the Dallas Cowboys in November of last season.

In 75 career games (64 starts), the speedy Jackson has recorded 205 tackles (170 solo, six for a loss), one QB hit, 1.0 sacks, 51 passes defensed, five interceptions, and one defensive touchdown.

Jackson, who runs a 4.37 40-yard dash, earned a 49.6 overall grade from Pro Football Focus in 2022. His best grade came in 2017 (90.2) as a member of the Bengals.
