Green Bay Packers sign Domani Jackson to the practice squad

Summary

The Green Bay Packers signed cornerback Domani Jackson to their practice squad on August 31, 2026. Jackson, a sixth-round selection in the 2026 NFL Draft, cleared waivers after failing to make the initial 53-man roster. The team prioritizes developing depth at cornerback following poor performance at the position last season. Incumbent cornerbacks Keisean Nixon and Carrington Valentine remain under contract for their final seasons, creating a need for future roster planning. Retaining Jackson provides the Packers with an additional option for development throughout the 2026 season. The organization intends to evaluate internal talent as it prepares for roster transitions in 2027.
