Jackson signed with the Giants' practice squad Monday, Art Stapleton of The Bergen Record reports. Jackson has been more of a kick return specialist than a wideout, handling that role for two games with the Titans last season, then again in the preseason this year, before ultimately being waived on cutdown day. He'll now work to earn that role in New York, starting as a member of the practice squad.

Jackson signed with the Giants' practice squad Monday, Art Stapleton of The Bergen Record reports. Jackson has been more of a kick return specialist than a wideout, handling that role for two games with the Titans last season, then again in the preseason this year, before ultimately being waived on cutdown day. He'll now work to earn that role in New York, starting as a member of the practice squad.
Jackson was waived by Tennessee on Tuesday, Jim Wyatt of the team's official site reports. Jackson didn't record a catch over the first two preseason games before missing Sunday's game against the Saints due to a knee injury. He wasn't waived with an injury designation, indicating that Jackson is healthy. Should he clear waivers, Jackson will explore his next options.
Jackson (knee) is questionable for the Titans' last preseason game at New Orleans, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports. Jackson sustained a bruised knee during Saturday's preseason game versus the Seahawks, and now it looks like that injury could keep him out for the rest of the preseason. If he is indeed out, undrafted rookie free agent Sam Schnee could see an uptick in reps.
Jackson suffered a knee injury in Saturday's preseason contest against Seattle and is questionable to return, Terry McCormick of TitanInsider.com reports. Jackson played only three snaps on offense and didn't see a target before getting hurt. However, he made an impression on special teams with a 30-yard punt return. Jackson is battling for a spot on the 53-man roster with a host of other wideouts, including fellow returner Jha'Quan Jackson. As such, it could be a major blow to Kearis' chances of making the cut if the knee issue keeps him out of the Titans' final preseason contest Sunday, Aug. 25 against New Orleans.
Jackson (ankle) practiced Tuesday. Jackson worked as the Titans' punt returner last season before he suffered a season-ending ankle injury Week 2 against the Chargers. Now healthy, he'll likely be competing with 2024 sixth-round selection, Jha'Quan Jackson for that role this season.
