San Francisco 49ers defensive end Tarron Jackson was taken to a local hospital for evaluation after a collision during a training camp practice Sunday.

Per reporters at the practice, Jackson was blocked by an offensive tackle, went to the ground and did not move for a few moments before he was able to move his hands. His teammates took a knee as he was tended to, and Jackson eventually had to be taken off on a backboard.

Niners coach Kyle Shanahan said after practice that Jackson was conscious, talking and had movement in his extremities.

“We were close to him so we could hear him talking and we could see everything moving,” Shanahan said. “I just told the guys that, which eases them up a little bit with the biggest fears and asked them if they were OK to continue to go. They all yelled yes and we finished the last period.”

Jackson, 27, is entering his first season with the 49ers. He joined their practice squad in January and signed a futures contract with the team after the 2024 season ended.

A 2021 sixth-round draft pick by Philadelphia, Jackson has played in 24 career games with the Eagles (2021-22) and Carolina Panthers (2024). He has tallied one sack, one forced fumble and 18 tackles.
