The Redskins are "hopeful" suspended FS Tanard Jackson will be reinstated for 2013, but it's considered "no sure thing."

Jackson is serving an indefinite suspension for multiple violations of the league's substance-abuse policy. He isn't eligible for reinstatement before August 31. Jackson has appeared in just 12 games since the end of the 2009 season. He'll turn 28 in July. Apr 15 - 12:48 PM

Tanard Jackson - DB - Redskins

Suspended FS Tanard Jackson remains under contract with the Redskins for 2013.

Jackson, suspended indefinitely for multiple violations of the NFL's substance abuse policy, had his $700,000 base salary from 2012 "tolled" into 2013. He is eligible for reinstatement beginning on August 31. The Redskins can't be counting on Jackson. Anything they get from him should be considered a big bonus.

Tanard Jackson - DB - Redskins

NFL suspended Redskins FS Tanard Jackson indefinitely for violating the league's substance-abuse policy.

Per FOX Sports' Jay Glazer, Jackson's status will not be re-evaluated until 2013. According to beat writer John Keim, the Redskins had been waiting a "long time" to learn Jackson's status, suggesting they knew a ban was possible. Jackson was suspended for all of 2010 for violating the NFL's drug policy. He had been competing with Madieu Williams and DeJon Gomes at free safety. Although Jackson is still only 27, a second year-long ban is going to threaten his career.

Tanard Jackson - DB - Redskins

Redskins FS Tanard Jackson (shoulder surgery) has been activated from the active/PUP list.

It means Jackson has been cleared to practice, and will no longer be eligible to begin the year on the reserve/PUP list. Jackson will compete with Madieu Williams and DeJon Gomes for the Redskins' starting free safety job. Jackson would do well to display improved tackling skills early in camp, as he was perhaps the single worst player in the league against the run last season.

Tanard Jackson - DB - Redskins

Redskins FS Tanard Jackson (shoulder surgery) has begun camp on the active/PUP list.

Jackson originally estimated he'd be ready to roll by June 1 following his January rotator cuff operation. Jackson can be activated at any time, but could get buried behind Madieu Williams and DeJon Gomes on the depth chart if he's out for long.

Tanard Jackson - DB - Redskins

Redskins signed FS Tanard Jackson, formerly of the Buccaneers, to a one-year contract.

That didn't take long. The Redskins were fully expected to consider Jackson now that former Bucs coach Raheem Morris is running the secondary. Turning 27 in July, Jackson is worth the risk as long as it's a low-cost deal. He will likely compete with Madieu Williams and DeJon Gomes for the starting free safety job. Jackson's signing certainly hurts Williams' chances of making the team.

Tanard Jackson - DB - Redskins

Free agent FS Tanard Jackson attributed his poor tackling last season to playing through a torn rotator cuff.

Jackson had surgery in January and expects to be healthy by June 1. "Man, my shoulder been injured since '09 and something that I put off and I played through a series of injuries," he said. "Not to make excuses for the way I played, but I had a lot of injuries last year, two bad hamstrings and a torn rotator cuff." Jackson was released by the Bucs on Tuesday. He could resurface with old coach Raheem Morris, who now coaches DBs in Washington.

Tanard Jackson - DB - Redskins

Upon releasing Tanard Jackson, GM Mark Dominik made it clear the Bucs were not pleased with his growth on and off the field.

After missing 23 games due to substance abuse suspensions over the past three years, Jackson failed to show for the voluntary offseason program. Jackson concedes his approach to rehab may have played a part in the release. Lest there was any doubt, new coach Greg Schiano is running a much tighter ship than Raheem Morris ever did.

Tanard Jackson - DB - Redskins

Bucs released/failed physical FS Tanard Jackson.

Jackson underwent shoulder surgery to repair a torn rotator cuff three months ago, but will be ready to return by June. The move likely has as much to do with Jackson's off-the-field history as his injury, as he was suspended for all of 2010 and the first five weeks of 2011 for multiple violations of the league's substance abuse policy. Jackson played poorly upon his return in Week 6 last season, struggling in coverage while getting hammered against the run. Still only 26, however, he will latch on elsewhere.

Tanard Jackson - DB - Redskins

Bucs declared WR Michael Spurlock, T Demar Dotson, G Derek Hardman, DT Frank Okam, LB Dekoda Watson, and CB Anthony Gaitor inactive for Week 11 at Green Bay.

Jackson has been hampered by a hamstring injury for a couple of weeks. Corey Lynch will start at free safety against the Packers' high-powered aerial attack.

Tanard Jackson - DB - Redskins

Bucs extended FS Tanard Jackson's contract through the 2012 season.

Jackson was also given a raise from $705,000 to $1 million for the remainder of this season. His base salary for 2012 will jump to $2 million with bonuses for each game on the 53-man roster. As long as he stays off the illegal substances, Jackson is the team's best safety. The Bucs are showing a good deal of faith here, perhaps due to Cody Grimm's injury history.

Bucs FS Tanard Jackson was forced from Sunday's game against the Bears with a hamstring injury, and is questionable to return.

Jackson had already notched his second interception in two games before going down. Corey Lynch has taken his place at free safety.

Tanard Jackson - DB - Redskins

The Tampa Tribune confirms that RB Allen Bradford was waived to create roster space for FS Tanard Jackson returning from suspension.

It doesn't say much for Bradford that a team with an injured starter at running back is cutting their depth. Coach Raheem Morris noted that Jackson "looked good again" in Thursday's practice. It looks like he's going to be thrown into the fire immediately.

Tanard Jackson - DB - Redskins

ESPN's Adam Schefter reports that the Bucs plan to play FS Tanard Jackson in Week 6 against the Saints.

Fresh off suspension, Jackson figures to be on a snap count after only getting in three days of practice with the team. He'll be Tampa's most talented safety from the get-go, however. An emerging star before his one-year ban for twice violating the league's substance abuse policy, Jackson has eight interceptions, five forced fumbles, and two pick-sixes in 46 career starts.

Wed, Oct 12, 2011 02:14:00 PM

Tanard Jackson - DB - Redskins

The St. Petersburg Times confirms FS Tanard Jackson will be welcomed back to One Buc Place as soon as Tuesday night.

Jackson has served his time for over a year, and the Bucs have a need for a veteran safety. The team has up to two weeks to activate Jackson from the exempt list, but he should end up starting over Corey Lynch soon enough.

Depth Charts

Skill Players
Pos	Role	Name
QB	1	Robert Griffin III Sidelined Robert Griffin III's (ACL, LCL surgery) father says his son has been throwing footballs since April and insists RG3's recovery remains "on cue." "Robert is doing extremely well as far as the timetable," said RG2. "He's been doing a lot overtime, he never stops. He was throwing some prior to the draft. Everything seems to be on cue. Everybody in the organization is targeting that season opener." RG3 tore his right ACL at Baylor four years ago. "He might be a little ahead of himself in terms of doing what he did then compared to now," RG2 said. "He's smarter, stronger, wiser." May 17
	2	Kirk Cousins
	3	Rex Grossman
	4	Pat White
RB	1	Alfred Morris
	2	Evan Royster
	3	Roy Helu Sidelined Roy Helu (toe surgery) recently suffered a setback, but is "nearly 100 percent." It's unclear how that works, but coach Mike Shanahan wasn't concerned at his Wednesday presser. It's just another reminder of Helu's fragility. Helu will battle Evan Royster for third-down duties in camp. Apr 24
	4	Chris Thompson Sidelined Redskins agreed to terms with No. 154 overall pick RB Chris Thompson on a four-year contract. Recovering from an October ACL tear, Thompson is questionable for the beginning of training camp. Thompson is a thimble of a football player at 5-foot-7, 192 pounds, but coach Mike Shanahan believes he would have been a first- or second-round pick if not for his injury. That's because of his electric speed. Thompson could eventually make noise as a scat/third-down back, but will most likely be "redshirted" this season. May 15
	5	Jawan Jamison
GLB	1	Alfred Morris
	2	Evan Royster
3RB	1	Alfred Morris
	2	Evan Royster
FB	1	Darrel Young
	2	Dorson Boyce I.L. Redskins FB Dorson Boyce (shoulder) could be cleared for contact this week. Boyce tore his labrum in the preseason finale last year. The 24-year-old rushed ten times for 44 yards in exhibition action last season. He could compete for a special teams role or a spot on the practice squad. Apr 20
	3	Eric Kettani
WR1	1	Pierre Garcon Sidelined Pierre Garcon (foot) isn't sure if he'll be 100 percent healthy for 2013. "I’ll be healthy enough to play," Garcon said Thursday on NFL Network. "I can’t say I’ll be 100 percent, but I’ll be back out there helping the team in any way possible." Garcon isn't sure if he'll go full steam during OTAs. Garcon played through the injury in 2012, but it's a concern he's already resigned to the possibility of playing at less than 100 percent for the second consecutive season. Garcon could eventually require surgery, but has thus far avoided it because there's no guarantee it will correct the issue. Apr 12
	2	Santana Moss
	3	Aldrick Robinson
	4	Skye Dawson
	5	Chip Reeves
WR2	1	Josh Morgan Sidelined Josh Morgan had ligaments in each of his hands repaired after the season. Tack this issue on top of ongoing concerns surrounding Morgan's right leg issues. After appearing to lack burst last season, he had surgery to remove a plate and seven screws from his right ankle in January. Morgan may not be ready for OTAs. Feb 27
	2	Leonard Hankerson
	3	Dezmon Briscoe
	4	Nick Williams
	5	Lance Lewis
WR3	1	Santana Moss
TE	1	Fred Davis Sidelined Speaking in a Wednesday presser, Redskins coach Mike Shanahan said Fred Davis (Achilles) has made "strides," but the team won't know how far he's progressed before OTAs. Davis is six months removed from the Achilles' tear, and expects to be fully cleared by June. Despite Davis' bullish outlook, he's a strong candidate to begin camp on active/PUP, with a stint on reserve/PUP possible to begin the year. Apr 24
	2	Logan Paulsen
	3	Jordan Reed Sidelined Redskins third-round TE Jordan Reed did not participate in rookie minicamp due to a bone bruise in his knee and a pulled quad. Reed, the 85th pick in the draft, pulled a quad, which resulted in knee soreness. The Redskins are "hopeful" he'll be able to get back to action in a "couple weeks." Washington starts OTAs on May 20, and Reed should be on the field. May 5
