What happened: Jackson joined Jacksonville on June 4, less than eight weeks before moving to the Reserve/Retired list. Ballentine had been available since June 18, when his previous contract was terminated.

Why it matters: The paired moves replace one veteran cornerback with another on Jacksonville's 2026 roster. Jackson's designation clears an active-roster spot for Ballentine.

What to watch: Ballentine's role in the cornerback rotation will come into focus during training camp.
