The Lions waived Jackson on Tuesday.
Jackson hasn't played since suiting up in four games across the Browns, Colts and Giants in 2023. The Duke product posted the third-most rushing yards (417) in the UFL this spring. The 26-year-old will be a practice-squad candidate.

Lions' Deon Jackson: Catches on with Detroit
The Lions signed Jackson to a contract Sunday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Jackson recently played in the UFL with the DC Defenders and posted 441 rushing yards and four touchdowns on 83 carries while adding seven catches for 39 yards. He last saw NFL regular-season action in 2023, when he appeared in four games between the Colts (two), Browns and Giants (one game each), and logged 14 carries for 16 yards. Jackson's addition solidifies the Lions' backfield depth while Sione Vaki (leg) is sidelined.

Deon Jackson: Doesn't get roster spot
Jackson was waived by the Jets on Tuesday, Ethan Greenberg of the team's official site reports.
Jackson opened last season as the Colts' Week 1 starting running back while Jonathan Taylor was on the PUP list. However, he struggled with only 14 yards on 13 carries in the opener and was cut less than two weeks later. Jackson subsequently found work with the Browns and Giants, then signed a contract with the Jets this August. However, he won't be on the team's 53-man roster after gaining just 18 yards on eight carries during the preseason.

Jets' Deon Jackson: Inks deal
Jackson signed a contract with the Jets on Wednesday.
Jackson bounced between the Colts, Browns and Giants last season, seeing action in four regular-season games. The Duke product managed to net only 16 yards on 14 carries, but he did have a little better success in 2022, when he averaged 3.5 YPC on 68 attempts. The 25-year-old will compete with rookies Braelon Allen and Isaiah Davis, as well as with second-year pro Israel Abanikanda, for a spot behind Breece Hall at running back.

Deon Jackson: Gets workout with Texans
Houston worked out Jackson (undisclosed) on Friday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Jackson was waived by the Giants with an injury settlement back in May, so he's now looking for another opportunity to make an impression. Given that the Texans signed Joe Mixon this offseason, still have Dameon Pierce under contract and just spent a draft pick on Jawhar Jordan, the path to a roster spot in Houston would be narrow for Jackson even if he did get signed.

Giants' Deon Jackson: Done with Giants
The Giants waived Jackson (undisclosed) with an injury designation Friday, Dan Salomone of the team's official site reports.
Jackson suited up for both Cleveland and Indianapolis in 2023, but he demonstrated a tendency to fumble the ball away and thus spent most of last season on the bench. If he clears waivers, he'll reverted to injured reserve.

Deon Jackson: Back with Giants' practice squad
The Giants signed Jackson to their practice squad Wednesday, Ryan Dunleavy of the New York Post reports.
Just a couple days after cutting him, the Giants have now decided to bring Jackson back on board. As long as Saquon Barkley and Matt Breida remain healthy, Jackson's path to playing time is still virtually nonexistent.
