Here is the first look at J.C. Jackson in a Patriots uniform

And he even received a very warm welcome from Robert Kraft. 

Prior to Thursday's practice, Lawrence Guy confirmed to the media that Jackson was in the building. And he even showed up wearing a blazer. 

Jackson was acquired by the Patriots from the on Wednesday in return for a late round pick.

The team was in need of additional depth at cornerback with many players injured including star rookie Christian Gonzalez. This could also mean Gonzalez might be out for a while.

This is his second stint with the Patriots, having began his career as an undrafted free agent with New England in 2018.

He won a Super Bowl with New England in 2018 and was named to the second-team All-Pro and Pro Bowl in his final year with the Patriots.

Following the 2021 season, Jackson went to Chargers, signing a massive $82.5 million contract for five years.

So with that, it's clear that the Patriots got the better end of the deal after they worked with the Chargers to rework Jackson's remaining $9.33 million for the 2023 season. New England will only cover $1.5 million of it, while Los Angeles is responsible for the rest.

And with his familiarity in the system, fans could see Jackson out on the field as early as Sunday.
