On May 17, 2018, the Packers signed Jackson to a four-year, $6.25 million contract that includes $3.87 million guaranteed and a signing bonus of $2.62 million.[11][12][13]

Throughout training camp, Jackson competed to be a starting cornerback against Kevin King, Jaire Alexander, Tramon Williams, and Davon House.[14] Head coach Mike McCarthy named Jackson the fifth cornerback on the depth chart to begin the regular season, behind Williams, King, Alexander, and House.[15]

He made his professional regular season debut and first career start in the Packers' season-opener against the Chicago Bears and made three solo tackles during their 24–23 victory. On September 16, 2018, Jackson recorded four solo tackles and scored the first touchdown of his career during a 29–29 tie against the Minnesota Vikings in Week 2. Jackson recovered a punt by Matt Wile and caught it in the endzone for a touchdown after it was blocked by Geronimo Allison during the first quarter.[16] On November 25, 2018, Jackson collected a season-high eight combined tackles during a 24–17 loss at the Vikings in Week 12.[17] On December 2, 2018, the Packers fired McCarthy after they fell to a 4–7–1 record. He finished his rookie season in 2018 with 48 combined tackles (39 solo) and ten pass deflections in 16 games and ten starts.[18]
