Yes, since Jerash and Kerak Castle are located north of Amman, both sites may be visited during a single day trip from Amman. We did so, with a hired driver, and departed about 9 am and returned after 5 pm. If you're driving yourself, give yourself more time since the road signage is not straight forward. Also, rush hour traffic in and out of Amman can be quite heavy thus requiring more travel time. Do give yourself several hours to see Jerash since the site is extensive, and quite amazing.
