NASHVILLE, Tennessee – Tennessee Titans cornerback Adoree ‘Jackson will see his first action this season against the Detroit Lions on Sunday. He missed the first 13 games of the year with a knee injury.

The fourth-year cornerback suffered the injury and was placed on IR for the Titans’ season-opening 16-14 win over the Denver Broncos. The Titans activated Jackson in November, but he did not participate in the training.

Jackson missed the last four games last season before returning for Tennessee’s win over the New England Patriots in the wildcard round of the playoffs. The Titans picked up Jackson’s fifth-year option for the season and had high hopes for him to become an integral part of their second year this season.

Jackson’s reps against the Lions will be closely monitored on Sunday, according to a source.

Getting Jackson back will give a huge boost to the Titans’ secondary position as they make their final playoff push. Tennessee (9-4) is level with the Indianapolis Colts for first place in the AFC South.
