Kareem Jackson News
The Houston Texans claimed veteran safety Kareem Jackson off waivers after he was released by the Denver Broncos. The 35-year-old has notably been fined and suspended multiple times this year for illegal hits and unnecessary roughness. However, his latest suspension was for four games, and he has already missed each of the last five games. Jackson was a first-round selection by the Texans in 2010, and he was teammates with head coach DeMeco Ryans for two seasons. With Houston's secondary struggling, he could contribute right away.
Denver Broncos safety Kareem Jackson was waived on Monday, but the team hopes to bring him back onto their practice squad if he clears waivers, according to Troy Renck of Denver7. The veteran has played in just one game since Week 7 due to two separate suspensions for unnecessary roughness violations. He was solid over the course of eight contests, amassing two interceptions and 51 tackles. It remains to be seen whether he'll generate any interest on waivers or through free agency.
Denver Broncos defensive back Kareem Jackson was suspended without pay for four games by the NFL for repeated violations of playing rules intended to protect the health and safety of players, including a vicious hit on Minnesota Vikings quarterback Joshua Dobbs on Sunday night. Jackson served a two-game suspension in Weeks 8 and 9. The Broncos had a bye in Week 10, so Sunday's game was Jackson's first contest back. The hit in question wasn't flagged as a penalty during the game and led to one of Denver's three turnovers in the 21-20 win. Jackson is appealing his latest suspension, which means he could be active for Week 12 against the Cleveland Browns. Losing the 35-year-old for any amount of time again would be a blow to a Broncos defense that has been solid during their four-game winning streak.
