According to NFL veteran reporter Ian Rapoport the Patriots had no choice but to trade for JC Jackson.
The corner back spent four seasons at the Patriots before moving to the Chargers for a year but was traded today for a swap of late round picks.
He will likely play cover for New England Patriots CB Christian Gonzalez, who is set to miss the entire season from a serious shoulder injury suffered in their 38-3 loss to the high-flying Cowboys.
Jackson went undrafted in 2019, but would still go on to win a Superbowl title with the Patriots.
The New England team is 1-3 and sit last in the AFC East Division
