Houston Texans assert frequently halted security Off waivers a player.
The veteran safety Kareem Jackson was waived by the Denver Broncos the day before, and on Tuesday the Houston Texans announced that Jackson had been claimed off waivers.
A quad injury he suffered in the Texans’ Week 16 loss to the Cleveland Browns led to the starting safety Jimmie Ward being placed on injured reserve.
With two suspensions and numerous ejections this season, Jackson is currently having a rough time.
After Jackson illegally hit Washington Commanders tight end Logan Thomas in Week 2, Jackson was ejected. He hit Green Bay Packers tight end Luke Musgrave in Week 7, which resulted in his ejection and subsequent suspension. Jackson’s three-game suspension was subsequently lowered to just two games.
In Week 11, Jackson hit quarterback Joshua Dobbs of the Minnesota Vikings with his head lowered, earning him another suspension. Jackson was later given a four-game suspension by the NFL due to persistent infractions of player safety regulations.
In 201 games over his career, the 14-year safety has 952 tackles, 22 interceptions, and 110 pass deflections. Before signing a contract with the Broncos in 2019, Jackson lived in Houston for nine of those years. Now that Jackson is back in Houston, he and Texans coach DeMeco Ryans will be getting back together. Between 2010 and 2011, the two played together for the Texans.
Outside linebacker Denzel Perryman and two other players from the Texans are among the three players suspended for illegal hits this season. Paxton Steelers linebacker Damontae Kazee is the third player the NFL has suspended for an illegal hit.
