Minnesota signed Jackson to the practice squad Wednesday.
Jackson suited up for Weeks 2 and 3 with the Vikings, playing five offensive snaps in each contest. He then didn't take the field in the team's following two games before being waived. Now, he gets a chance to continue his development with Minnesota as a member of the practice squad.

Trishton Jackson: Waived by Minnesota
Rotowire
The Vikings waived Jackson on Saturday, Craig Peters of the team's official website reports.
Jackson played five offensive snaps each in Weeks 2 and 3, but did not see the field the following two weeks. Thus, it should not be surprising Minnesota viewed him as expendable in favor of another position on its 53-man roster. The pass catcher could still land back on the team's practice squad assuming he clears waivers.

Vikings' Trishton Jackson: Not playing Week 5
Rotowire
Jackson (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Jets.
With Jordan Addison returning to the lineup for the Vikings' Week 4 win over the Packers after missing the previous two games with an ankle injury, Jackson has found himself as the odd man out of the Minnesota receiving corps. The fifth-year wideout is inactive for the second week in a row after he played just 10 total snaps on offense in the two games that Addison missed.

Vikings' Trishton Jackson: Gets start Saturday
Rotowire
Jackson caught three of four targets for 39 yards and a touchdown in Saturday's 27-12 preseason win over the Browns. He also gained six rushing yards on one carry.
The Vikings sat starting wideouts Justin Jefferson and Jordan Addison (ankle) on Saturday, but Jackson surprisingly got the start in 11 personnel alongside Jalen Nailor and Brandon Powell over veteran Trent Sherfield. Jackson capitalized on the opportunity, hauling in a back-shoulder throw from Nick Mullens and getting his toes down in bounds for a 14-yard touchdown on the team's first possession. The undrafted player out of Syracuse suited up for seven games last season -- his first NFL action -- as he bounced between the practice squad and the game-day roster, but he would find himself with a more consistent role in 2024 if he wins the No. 5 receiver job.

Rotowire
The Vikings elevated Jackson from the practice squad for Saturday's game against the Bengals.

Vikings' Trishton Jackson: Larger role in win
Rotowire
Jackson had one reception for two yards on three targets and caught a two-point conversion in Sunday's win at Atlanta.
Jackson played on 53 of the offense's 75 snaps as he was pressed into a larger role with K.J. Osborn leaving with a concussion and Brandon Powell dealing with cramps. Jackson could work as the No. 3 or No. 4 receiver again this week against New Orleans if Osborn is sidelined and Justin Jefferson (hamstring) isn't activated from injured reserve.

Rotowire
The Vikings signed Jackson to their active roster Saturday.
Jackson was elevated from the Vikings' practice squad for the third time of the season for Week 7 against the 49ers, when he played on special teams and managed to haul in his lone target for seven yards. With his maximum number of elevations being filled out, coupled with key injures to wide receivers Jalen Nailor (hamstring) and Justin Jefferson (hamstring), the team elected to sign Jackson to its active roster. He'll continue to see work on special teams and could see more snaps on offense over the next few games.

Vikings' Trishton Jackson: Works with first-team offense
Rotowire
Jackson worked with the first-team offense at times in Thursday's joint practices with Tennessee, the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.
Jackson appears back to full speed after suffering a knee injury early in training camp. He's getting time with the first and second units with Jordan Addison sidelined with a concussion. Jackson has had an impressive camp and is making a strong case to win a final spot on the roster, but it's still more likely he ends up on the practice squad.
Offensive coordinator Wes Phillips told reporters Wednesday that Jackson (knee) didn't suffer any ligament damage to his knee after being carted off during practice Tuesday, Ben Goessling of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.
This health update is great news for the Vikings considering Jackson was thought to have suffered a very serious knee injury after being carted off. The Syracuse product has yet to appear in an NFL game after going undrafted in 2020. Expect the wideout to compete for a spot on Minnesota's practice squad for the second year in a row ahead of the coming season.

Jackson failed to make the Vikings' final roster after he caught five passes for 71 yards this preseason. The wide receiver has yet to make his NFL debut after going undrafted in 2019 and will likely end up starting the 2022 campaign on a new team's practice squad.
