Carolina Panthers cornerback Dane Jackson, who was carted off the practice field on Wednesday with a hamstring injury, could miss six weeks, coach Dave Canales said Thursday.

“Dane’s was a significant hamstring,” Canales said in Charlotte, where the team has been having joint practice sessions with the New York Jets.

Jackson, 27, is listed as a starter for the Panthers, who signed him as a free agent in March. Jaycee Horn is the other starter at outside cornerback with Troy Hill at nickel. Reserves include Dicaprio Bootle, Lamar Jackson, D’Shawn Jamison and Chau Smith-Wade, a fifth-round pick in the 2024 NFL Draft out of Washington State.

Jackson spent the past four seasons with the Buffalo Bills, who drafted him in the seventh round in 2020 out of Pittsburgh. Jackson started 28 of his 52 games with the Bills and contributed three interceptions, 28 passes defensed, two forced fumbles and 152 tackles. He recorded 39 tackles in 15 games (six starts) in 2023.

Canales also said that safety Xavier Woods (groin) will miss at least a couple of weeks.

“A little bit more serious than we thought,” Canales said.

The Panthers open the regular season on Sept. 8 at the New Orleans Saints.
