Cornerback J.C. Jackson, acquired in trade with the Los Angeles Chargers on Thursday, will be in uniform when the New England Patriots host the New Orleans Saints on Sunday in Foxborough, Mass.
The Patriots are thin at the position with cornerbacks Christian Gonzalez (shoulder), Jack Jones (hamstring) and Marcus Jones (shoulder) on injured reserve.
Cornerback Jonathan Jones also is active after missing the last three games with an ankle injury.
Jackson, 27, had played for New England from 2018 to 2021, and was a Pro Bowl selection that final season.
