Houston Texans claim safety Kareem Jackson off waivers from Broncos

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 13:15:59 GMT

Kareem Jackson is returning to his roots after the Houston Texans claimed the hard-hitting safety off waivers from the Denver Broncos on Tuesday.The Broncos (7-8) were hoping he'd clear waivers so they could re-sign their locker room leader and tone-setter to the practice squad. That way, they didn't have to expose another player to the waiver wire and risk losing him. Plus, they'd have been able to elevate Jackson to the active roster for games.Instead, he's back with the Texans (8-7), who drafted him 20th overall out of Alabama in 2010.“H Town……. I’mmm Baaaack,” Jackson said on social media Tuesday.Jackson played cornerback for nine seasons with Houston before moving to safety when he joined the Broncos in free agency in 2019.
