Jackson was the leading receiver on the day, catching all five of his targets for 94 yards. Martin caught four passes for just 16 yards, but was on the receiving end of a touchdown pass from Dobbs, set up by that highlight-reel grab from Jackson.

Positive signalRole

Jackson leads receivers with 5 catches, 94 yards; strong case for WR5/6 roster spot.

Lucky Jackson emerged as the leading receiver in the preseason finale despite an early gaffe that contributed to the Lions' first turnover. He bounced back immediately, creating an explosive play on third-and-9 and hauling in a one-handed 35-yard catch on Detroit's final drive of the first half that put the Lions on the Colts' 2-yard line. Jackson finished the game catching all five of his targets for 94 yards, leading all receivers. With Tay Martin catching four passes for 16 yards and Greg Dortch (set to be the WR4) catching two for 22 yards, the WR5/6 battle is coming down to the wire, and Jackson's performance has made it a tough decision for Detroit.
