The Chargers signed Jackson to a five-year, $82.5 million contract in March as part of an extensive offensive remodeling job on their defense.
His signing, along with their acquisition of edge rusher Khalil Mack, highlighted a flurry of activity by General Manager Tom Telesco.
Jackson made steady progress in his return from the minor ankle procedure last month, and although there was some question earlier in the week whether he could play against the Chiefs, he answered it with a series of encouraging workouts leading up to Thursday’s prime time game. In fact, it was the kind of game that prompted the Chargers to sign Jackson, a Pro Bowl selection and a Super Bowl champion while with the New England Patriots. They needed an upgraded defense to contend with the Chiefs’ high-powered defense, led by quarterback Patrick Mahomes.There was something different about standout safety Derwin James Jr. as he walked through the Chargers’ locker room at their Costa Mesa training facility.
