Doesn't get roster spot
Published: 2024-08-27
Jackson was waived by the Jets on Tuesday, Ethan Greenberg of the team's official site reports.
Jackson opened last season as the Colts' Week 1 starting running back while Jonathan Taylor was on the PUP list. However, he struggled with only 14 yards on 13 carries in the opener and was cut less than two weeks later. Jackson subsequently found work with the Browns and Giants, then signed a contract with the Jets this August. However, he won't be on the team's 53-man roster after gaining just 18 yards on eight carries during the preseason.

Inks deal
Published: 2024-08-07
Jackson signed a contract with the Jets on Wednesday.
Jackson bounced between the Colts, Browns and Giants last season, seeing action in four regular-season games. The Duke product only managed to net 16 yards on 14 carries, but he did have a little bit better success in 2022, where he averaged 3.5 YPC on 68 attempts. The 25-year-old will compete with rookies Braelon Allen and Isaiah Davis, as well as second-year man Israel Abanikanda for a spot behind Breece Hall at running back.
Gets workout with Texans
Published: 2024-07-19
Houston worked out Jackson (undisclosed) on Friday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Jackson was waived by the Giants with an injury settlement back in May, so he's now looking for another opportunity to make an impression. Given that the Texans signed Joe Mixon this offseason, still have Dameon Pierce under contract and just spent a draft pick on Jawhar Jordan, the path to a roster spot in Houston would be narrow for Jackson even if he did get signed.
Gets settlement
Published: 2024-05-21
Jackson (undisclosed) was waived by the Giants on Tuesday with an injury settlement, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Jackson was waived with an injury designation by New York on May 10 and placed on IR after clearing waivers. He'll now have the opportunity to find a new team for the 2024 campaign once he can prove that he's healthy.
Done with Giants
Published: 2024-05-10
The Giants waived Jackson (undisclosed) with an injury designation Friday, Dan Salomone of the team's official site reports.
Jackson suited up for both Cleveland and Indianapolis in 2023, but he demonstrated a tendency to fumble the ball away and thus spent most of last season on the bench. He'll now have to look for another opportunity with a new team.
Remaining in New York
Published: 2024-01-08
Jackson signed a reserve/future contract with the Giants on Monday, Charlotte Carroll of The Athletic reports.
Jackson made appearances with the Colts and Browns this season, before ultimately finding his way to the Giants. The Duke product ended up totaling four appearances on the year, with 14 carries for 16 yards and five catches on six targets for 14 more yards through the air. He'll now have an opportunity to carve out a bigger role next season in New York.
Back with Giants' practice squad
Published: 2023-11-22
The Giants signed Jackson to their practice squad Wednesday, Ryan Dunleavy of the New York Post reports.
Just a couple days after cutting him, the Giants have now decided to bring Jackson back on board. As long as Saquon Barkley and Matt Breida remain healthy, Jackson's path to playing time is still virtually nonexistent.
Cut by G-Men
Published: 2023-11-20
The Giants waived Jackson on Monday, Field Yates of ESPN reports.
Jackson has appeared in four games for three different teams this season. He rushed one time for two yards in one appearance for the Giants. Jackson will look for yet another team to give him a shot.
Healthy inactive Week 11
Published: 2023-11-19
Jackson (coach's decision) is inactive ahead of Sunday's game against the Commanders, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
Jackson will be a healthy scratch for the second time since signing with the Giants in late October. The 24-year-old running back has spent time with Cleveland, Indianapolis and New York this season, recording 30 total yards on 19 touches.
