The Jacksonville Jaguars are expected to complete a deal with free-agent defensive tackle Malik Jackson, according to multiple reports.

Jackson, 26, started all 16 regular-season games for the Denver Broncos in 2015, as well as all three of their postseason games.

He had 46 tackles and 5.5 sacks during the regular season, and he scored the Broncos' first touchdown in Super Bowl 50 win when he recovered a Cam Newton fumble in the end zone.

Jackson was a fifth-round pick by Denver in 2012.
