Updating a previous item, Redskins OLB Rob Jackson's four-game suspension is for ingesting a banned substance.

One source told the Washington Post that Jackson's ban is for use of an "unprescribed pain medication." Jackson is appealing the punishment. Whether or not Jackson is absolved, he'll return as the Skins' third outside 'backer behind Ryan Kerrigan and Brian Orakpo. We don't expect to see him before Week 5. Mar 22 - 4:48 PM

Rob Jackson - LB - Redskins

NFL suspended Redskins OLB Rob Jackson four games.

It's unclear what for, but it's either a violation of the league's PED or substance-abuse policy. Jackson is eligible to participate in the Redskins' offseason program. It's a blow to a team already low on depth and unable to maneuver in free agency because of its crushing salary-cap penalties. Jackson was productive in place of an injured Ryan Kerrigan and Brian Orakpo last season, tallying 37 tackles, 4.5 sacks, four interceptions and two forced fumbles. Eligible to return in Week 5, he'll serve in a reserve role in 2013.

Rob Jackson - LB - Redskins

Redskins re-signed restricted free agent OLB Rob Jackson to a one-year contract.

This has been in the works all day as Washington locks up its restricted free agents. Jackson will return to a reserve role behind Ryan Kerrigan and Brian Orakpo a year after starting the first 14 games of his career. Jackson proved a capable replacement with 4.5 sacks, two forced fumbles, and four interceptions.

Rob Jackson - LB - Redskins

The Washington Examiner reports the Redskins and restricted free agent OLB Rob Jackson have "made a lot of progress" on a new deal and are "close."

Jackson started 14 games in 2012 after Brian Orakpo was placed on injured reserve, and he recorded 4.5 sacks while being fine in coverage with four interceptions and six pass deflections. The Redskins have used Saturday to lock up restricted free agents before tenders are due on Tuesday.

Rob Jackson - LB - Redskins

Recently signed DE/OLB Rob Jackson is expected to start in place of Brian Orakpo for the Redskins in Week 16 against the Jaguars.

Jackson was a seventh-round pick in 2008 from Kansas State. The fact that he went from practice squad to starting lineup in less than a week tells you all you need to know about the state of the Redskins' depth. Merry Christmas Marcedes Lewis.

Redskins signed DE Rob Jackson off their practice squad.

Jackson was the Redskins' seventh-round pick two Aprils ago. He won't help much as the club's No. 4 or 5 defensive end for the rest of the season.

Rob Jackson - LB - Redskins

Redskins signed seventh-round DE Rob Jackson to an undisclosed contract and released DT J.T. Mapu.

He's the fourth of Washington's ten draft picks to sign. With a relatively shallow roster, Jackson has a better chance to make the team than most seventh-round picks.

Skill Players
Pos	Role	Name
QB	1	Robert Griffin III Sidelined Redskins GM Bruce Allen conceded it's "too early to tell" whether Robert Griffin III (ACL, LCL surgery) will be ready on the first day of training camp. "He is doing everything that the doctors want him to do," said Allen. "... But it’s really too premature to speculate on where his medical condition is until we give him a physical when training camp starts July 25." Allen said RG3 is able to do "a lot of drill work on his own." Expect Griffin to open training camp on active/PUP. May 20
	2	Kirk Cousins
	3	Rex Grossman
	4	Pat White
RB	1	Alfred Morris
	2	Evan Royster
	3	Roy Helu Sidelined CSN Washington believes Roy Helu and No. 154 pick RB Chris Thompson are competing for the same roster spot. The same is true of Evan Royster and No. 228 pick Jawan Jamison. Thompson and Helu are both change-of-pace type runners, while Royster and Jamison rely more on vision and power. Jamison is the longest shot of the four, but Helu's roster spot will very much be in danger if he doesn't report to camp 100 percent healthy and stay 100 percent healthy. May 19
	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

GLB	1	Alfred Morris

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
