The Saints signed Jackson to their practice squad Tuesday. Jackson was let go by New Orleans this past weekend but is back with the team via the practice squad. He's appeared in four games with the Saints this season, logging four offensive snaps and another 43 on special teams.
The Saints waived Jackson on Saturday, Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com reports. Jackson appeared in four regular-season games for the Saints since being signed from the practice squad to the active roster Oct. 17, logging 187 kickoff return yards and 68 punt return yards over that span. Should he clear waivers, Jackson will look to catch on with a team in need of a return specialist.
New Orleans signed Jackson off the practice squad to the active roster Thursday, Luke Johnson of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports. Jackson rejoined the Saints on the practice squad Oct. 2 after being let go with an injury settlement during training camp. Jackson will likely serve as the Saints' top kickoff and punt returner Thursday against the Broncos due to Rashid Shaheed (knee) being placed on injured reserve.
Jackson (undisclosed) signed with the Saints' practice squad Tuesday. Jackson joined the team as a UDFA out of Idaho in the spring but suffered an injury during training camp, which led to him being waived. Now healthy, the Idaho product will get a second opportunity with the franchise.
New Orleans waived Jackson (undisclosed) from its injured reserve list with an injury settlement Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports. The settlement is a silver lining for Jackson, who is now technically eligible to return at some point during the 2024 season. His departure from the Saints could open up some opportunities in practice for recent signee Samson Nacua.
Jackson (undisclosed) reverted to the Saints' injured reserve Sunday, Luke Johnson of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports. Jackson will now be forced to sit out the entirety of the 2024 campaign while on IR with an undisclosed injury unless he and the Saints reach an injury settlement. The wide receiver was geared up to operate in a significant special-teams role with New Orleans this year, and in his absence, Cedrick Wilson could see an uptick in usage.
Jackson was waived/injured by the Saints on Saturday with an undisclosed injury, John Hendrix of SI.com reports. Jackson signed with New Orleans as an undrafted free agent in April. It is unclear what specific injury led to this transaction. If he ultimately goes unclaimed while on waivers, the pass catcher would revert to the Saints' injured reserve. From there, his season would be over unless both parties can come to an injury settlement down the line.
