  • Lucky Jackson: Brought back by Minnesota

    The Vikings signed Jackson to the practice squad Wednesday, Kevin Seifert of ESPN.com reports.

    Jackson spent most of 2023 on the Vikings' practice squad, though he did appear in three regular-season games and played 35 snaps (three on offense, 32 on special teams). He had a solid finish to the preseason with four catches (on six targets) for 53 yards against the Eagles on Saturday, but it wasn't enough for him to make the Vikings' 53-man roster. Jackson will look to impress on the taxi squad and stay ready for a promotion to the active roster.

  • Lucky Jackson: Getting waived by Vikes

    Minnesota waived Jackson on Tuesday, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.

    Jackson signed with Minnesota at the end of the 2023 season, but on the day of the roster cut deadline for 2024, he found himself back on the outside looking in. He's slated to become a free agent unless he's claimed by another team during the current waiver period.

  • Vikings' Lucky Jackson: Joins active roster

    The Vikings signed Jackson to the 53-man roster Saturday.

    The 26-year-old's signing will ensure some extra depth at wide receiver for the remainder of the season, as Jalen Nailor (concussion) was placed on injured reserve Saturday. Jackson has already appeared in two games for Minnesota this year, failing to record a stat and playing 22 total snaps (two offensive and 20 on special teams).

  • Lucky Jackson: Back to practice squad

    The Vikings reverted Jackson to the practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

    Although Jackson was active for Sunday's 33-10 loss to the Packers, he didn't end up playing a single snap. He's been elevated twice this season and could therefore return to the active roster once more for the Vikings' regular-season finale against the Lions on Jan. 7.

  • Vikings' Lucky Jackson: Elevated for second straight week

    The Vikings elevated Jackson to their active roster from their practice squad Saturday.

    Jackson's elevation is a consequence of Jordan Addison (ankle) being listed as questionable for Sunday's contest against Green Bay and Jalen Nailor (concussion) being ruled out. Jackson saw his first regular-season action as a pro last week versus Detroit, logging one offensive snap and 12 special-teams snaps in the loss. He figures to have a minimal role again Sunday if he suits up.

  • Lucky Jackson: Reverts to practice squad

    Jackson reverted to the Vikings' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

    Jackson played one offensive snap and 12 snaps on special teams Week 16, in what was his NFL debut. The former XFL player will now await another chance to be elevated from the practice squad while continuing his development in Minnesota.

  • Vikings' Lucky Jackson: Joins active roster

    The Vikings elevated Jackson to their active roster Saturday.

    The rookie wide receiver out of Western Kentucky is joining an active roster for the first time in his young career, and he'll give the Vikings' some extra depth at WR due to Jalen Nailor (concussion) missing the Week 16 affair. Jackson likely won't see many snaps on offense, but he could very well add value to Minnesota's special teams unit Sunday.

  • Lucky Jackson: Back with Vikings' practice squad

    Minnesota signed Jackson to its practice squad Tuesday.

    Just a few days after being cut from the Vikings' practice squad, Jackson has found his way back into the fold. With only five receivers currently available to suit up for Thursday's game at Philadelphia, it wouldn't be surprising to see Minnesota elevate a wideout in the near future.

  • Lucky Jackson: Cut by practice squad

    Jackson was let go from the Vikings' practice squad Saturday.

    Jackson initially signed with Minnesota's practice unit after failing to make the team's final 53-man roster. The CFL and XFL alum will now be on the lookout for a new opportunity. He most recently had a stint with the D.C. Defenders in the XFL.

  • Lucky Jackson: Joining Vikings practice squad

    Jackson is set to stay with the Vikings via their practice squad, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio

    Jackson has been working his way up the ladder in several develepmental leagues since ending his collegiate career with Western Kentucky in 2021. He has spent time in the Spring League, CFL and most recently the XFL with the D.C. Defenders this offseason. Although he did not make it through the Vikings' final cut after training camp, his climb continues, as he will now get the chance to impress at practice and hopefully get the call up on a game day.

  • Lucky Jackson: Waived by Minnesota

    The Vikings waived Jackson on Tuesday, Andrew Krammer of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.

    Jackson spent time in developmental leagues over the past few seasons following a collegiate career at Western Kentucky. He was unable to land a spot on the Vikings' 53-man roster after signing with the team in late May, and it's unclear whether he'll find a role with another NFL club in 2023.

Defenders this offseason. With the Defenders, Jackson caught 36 balls for 572 yards and five touchdowns. Jackson will try to win one of the final receiver spots in Minnesota.
