SI.com also reported that Jackson was late to the team hotel on Saturday.<\/p>\n<p>The Patriots acquired Jackson in a trade with the Chargers on October 5, as Jackson fell out of favor with the Chargers after signing a four-year, $82.5 million contract as a free agent in March 2022.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"inline editorial float-r\" data-behavior=\"article_related\">\n<h2 class=\"editorial-title\">Editor&#8217;s Choice<\/h2>\n<p>2 Related<\/p>\n<\/aside>\n<p>The Patriots lost rookie cornerback Christian Gonzalez, their first-round pick, to a torn right labrum on Oct. 1.<\/p>\n<p>Jackson was used as a substitute in his first game in New England, where he had played the first four seasons of his career (2018-2021).  He was then elevated to the starting lineup for the next three games.<\/p>\n<p>On October 29 against the Dolphins, his technical breakdown led to a 42-yard touchdown run by Tyreek Hill, and he was then in coverage for another touchdown.  When Jackson didn&#8217;t <a class=\"wpil_keyword_link\" href=\"https:\/\/wikidollar.net\/tag\/start\/\"   title=\"start\" data-wpil-keyword-link=\"linked\">start<\/a> last Sunday against the Commanders, head coach Bill Belichick said it wasn&#8217;t a benching and noted that all of the team&#8217;s cornerbacks played in the game (Jackson totaled 53 snaps).<\/p>\n<p>Asked the next day about Jackson&#8217;s transition with the Patriots, Belichick said: &#8220;Well, it&#8217;s been a transition. I think his off-field training and his physical health and his fitness have definitely improved. So he&#8217;s made good job in that area. Consistency in the secondary from everyone is something we need to do a better job of.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>On Tuesday, cornerbacks coach Mike Pellegrino sidestepped questions about the team&#8217;s decision-making with Jackson, as well as second-year cornerback Jack Jones, who was also relegated to the depth chart.<\/p>\n<p>Third-year <a class=\"wpil_keyword_link\" href=\"https:\/\/wikidollar.net\/tag\/pro\/\"   title=\"pro\" data-wpil-keyword-link=\"linked\">pro<\/a> Shaun Wade, who Belichick believes deserves more opportunities, made his second career start in place of Jackson.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Things happen. I just put the guys on the field that I thought were ready to go at that time. Everyone knows what they have to do to play, I&#8217;ll leave it at that,&#8221; Pellegrino said.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m not trying to create a narrative. I trust all my guys. They all came in and played&#8230;I think that&#8217;s what Shaun did to earn this right. Shaun had a great <a class=\"wpil_keyword_link\" href=\"https:\/\/wikidollar.net\/tag\/week\/\"   title=\"week\" data-wpil-keyword-link=\"linked\">week<\/a> of training. Shaun played very well and \u201cHe did his job.  Shaun is a different player than he has been in the past.
