After being let go by Minnesota earlier in the week, Jackson ultimately cleared waivers and re-signed with the team. He has tallied two receptions for nine yards on four targets in six games this season. He will now be available to provide depth at receiver if needed going forward.
Jackson will now be available to be claimed by the 31 other teams in the league. If the wide receiver enters free agency without a suitor, he'll likely end up re-signing with Minnesota's practice squad.
Jackson had been getting some playing time as a fourth receiver the past few weeks, but he looks stuck on the bench with the return of K.J. Osborn from a concussion.
Jackson played on 53 of the offense's 75 snaps as he was pressed into a larger role with K.J. Osborn leaving with a concussion and Brandon Powell dealing with cramps. Jackson could work as the No. 3 or No. 4 receiver again this week against New Orleans if Osborn is sidelined and Justin Jefferson isn't activated from injured reserve.
Jackson was elevated from the Vikings' practice squad for the third time of the season for Week 7 against the 49ers, when he played on special teams and managed to haul in his lone target for seven yards. With his maximum number of elevations being filled out, coupled with key injures to wide receivers Jalen Nailor (hamstring) and Justin Jefferson (hamstring), the team elected to sign Jackson to its active roster. He'll continue to see work on special teams and could see more snaps on offense over the next few games.
