The Houston Texans have claimed safety Kareem Jackson off waivers from the Denver Broncos. Jackson, who spent the first 9 years of his career with the Texans, has been suspended for illegal hits on two separate occasions this season. The Broncos waived Jackson on Monday's deadline when his roster exemption expired after a four-game NFL suspension. The Broncos had released Keidron Smith from the practice squad to create room for Jackson, but now plan to re-sign Smith. If Jackson clears waivers, the Broncos hope to sign him to the practice squad and potentially elevate him for the final two regular-season games. Jackson, a 2010 first-round pick out of Alabama, will be wearing #22 for the Texans. The move brings the veteran safety back to the franchise where he began his career. The Texans have also placed safety Jimmie Ward on the injured reserve list.
“To come back home and be welcomed by the fans is always great,” said Houston Texans safety Kareem Jackson when asked about the excitement of his return to Houston. #Texans #Sarge @TheRocketsWire https://t.co/neROZeDkdB
