Adoree ‘Jackson, a New York Giants cornerback, was removed from the field of play at the end of the team’s joint practice with the New England Patriots at Foxborough on Wednesday.
Jackson fell during the final stages of practice and immediately hit his left ankle. Initially, he limped out of the field of play and was seen working by coaches, who had removed their panties and socks.
Jackson has a huge wrap around his foot / ankle. He will be removed when the practice is over.

NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reports that Jackson suffered a sprained ankle (unknown severity) and will likely miss the rest of the training camp and preseason. The hope is that he returns to a Week 1 game against the Denver Broncos.
#Giants CB Adoree ‘Jackson, who went into practice today, suffered an ankle sprain, according to sources. He is facing a major swelling and will do tests to determine the severity and type of sprain. If all goes well, he will rest the first week.

I’m told that Giants CB, Adoree Jackson, suffered a covered ankle sprain at the end of today’s practice, when she climbed up and landed uncomfortably.
The Giants are cautiously optimistic that Jackson’s injury won’t cost him significant time, per source. It will undergo further testing.

The level of swelling is worrisome and if the tear is from the high ankle variety, Jackson could miss out for an extended period of time. But if it is less, there is an external possibility that it may return before week 1.
Jackson was the free-to-air ticket agent this off-season, signing a three-year, $ 39 million contract with the Giants with $ 26.5 million guaranteed.
The former Tennessee Titans first-round pick outside of USC was released by the club before the free agency began paying him the guaranteed money from the $ 8 million fifth-year option for 2021. .
The Giants sang Jackson to congratulate pro Bowler James Bradberry this year, adding speed and playing ability on both sides of the field.
In case Jackson is out of any time period, the Giants have several options, including sophomore Darnay Holmes, rookie Rodarius Williams and veterans Josh Jackson, Keion Crossen, Sam Beal and Mother Harper.
Aaron Robinson, the team’s third-round pick in this year’s NFL draft, is currently on the list physically unable to perform (PUP).
