• Vikings' Lucky Jackson: Will remain in Minnesota

  01/15/2025 • By RotoWire

  The Vikings signed Jackson to a reserve/future contract Wednesday, Craig Peters of the team's official site reports. Jackson spent the entire 2024 campaign on the Vikings' practice squad after failing to make the 53-man roster at the end of training camp. He wasn't elevated to the active roster, but he will stay in Minnesota and be on the 90-man roster March 12 when the new league year starts. Jackson will participate in OTAs, minicamp and training camp with the Vikings in the hopes of making the 53-man roster for the 2025 season.

  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.

  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).

• 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.
