He competed with Logan Ryan, LeShaun Sims, Brice McCain, and Kalan Reed throughout training camp for the vacant starting cornerback positions after the departure of Jason McCourty and Perrish Cox during the off season. Head coach Mike Mularkey named him the starting cornerback, opposite Logan Ryan, and punt returner to begin the regular season.

In the next game against the Cincinnati Bengals, he had two tackles and two pass deflections along with 30 rushing yards as the Titans won by a score of 24–20. The following week, Jackson had 11 tackles, two pass deflections, and a forced fumble along with five rushing yards in a 40–17 road loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers. In the regular-season finale against the Jaguars, he had five tackles, two pass deflections, and a forced fumble in a 15–10 victory.

Jackson finished his rookie season with 70 tackles, three forced fumbles, 17 pass deflections, 868 return yards, and 55 rushing yards.
