According to Jordan Schultz, the Eagles are working out CB William Jackson on Tuesday.
Philadelphia is taking a look at its options in the secondary after dealing with some injuries.
Back in May, Jackson said he was recovered from a back injury that derailed his 2022 season and had interest from teams. He’s had reported workouts with the Giants and Ravens since then.
“I’m great,” Jackson said. “Just a minor setback for a major comeback. Everybody goes through injuries. Just feeling great, I’m 100 percent, feeling back to full speed and ready to show everybody what I can do.”
Jackson, 30, is a former first-round pick of the Bengals back in 2016. He was in the final year of his four-year, $9.7 million contract when the Bengals picked up Jackson’s fifth option worth $9,954,000 for the 2020 season.
Jackson was testing the open market as an unrestricted free agent in 2021 when he signed a three-year, $42 million deal with Washington. He was traded to the Steelers at the deadline during the 2022 season, but never played in a game for Pittsburgh.
He was set to make a $9.25 million salary in the final year of his deal when Pittsburgh released him.
In 2022, Jackson appeared in four games for the Commanders and recorded 16 total tackles and two pass deflections.
