What happened: Jackson caught five passes, including a 35-yard reception that put the offense at the 2-yard line. His production came in a 25-16 preseason-finale win.

Why it matters: The outing extended Jackson's late preseason push before roster cuts. He signed in June after recording 32 catches for 392 yards and two touchdowns in the UFL earlier this year.

By the numbers: Jackson averaged 18.8 yards on five receptions. His 35-yard gain accounted for 37.2% of his 94 receiving yards.

What to watch: Roster decisions will determine whether Jackson remains with the club for the upcoming season.
