Bleeding Green Nation on Ja'Quinden Jackson
From the article
With both Dameon Pierce and Elijah Mitchell leaving practice early on Saturday, the Eagles seemingly have interest in adding more running back depth, which makes sense. They could use the extra body for practice and preseason reps.
STACKED’s take
Jackson visited Eagles for RB depth after Pierce and Mitchell left practice early.
The Eagles hosted Jackson, a 24-year-old running back, on a free agent visit. Jackson finished his college career at Arkansas before joining the Jacksonville Jaguars as an undrafted rookie free agent in 2025; the Jags kept him on their practice squad but waived him in May. The Eagles' interest in Jackson comes with both Dameon Pierce and Elijah Mitchell leaving practice early on Saturday, suggesting the team is seeking additional running back depth for practice and preseason reps. As a prospect, Jackson is a big back with an imposing frame but is a one-speed runner lacking burst and juice in the open field; he reacts to traffic once in the run but isn't proactive in early reads to set up linebackers and unlock lanes. He's too slow getting in and out of cuts, allowing defenses to rally quickly. His size and strength appeal to teams but lack of functional speed and third-down value limit his ceiling.
