The Vikings cut Jackson from the practice squad Tuesday, Craig Peters of the team's official site reports. Jackson failed to make the Vikings' 53-man roster at the end of training camp. He opted to stay in Minnesota as a member of the practice squad, but the 28-year-old wideout will now look to join a team in need of depth at the position. Jackson last saw regular-season action in 2023 with the Vikings, when he served in a special-teams role across three games.

The Vikings waived Jackson on Tuesday. Jackson was targeted 11 times through three preseason games but turned in just five receptions for 49 yards. Despite dealing with multiple injuries at wide receiver, the Vikings cut Jackson loose in favor of Tim Jones and undrafted rookie Myles Price. Jackson is a candidate for the practice squad where he spent the 2024 season.

Jackson caught one of five targets for nine yards in Saturday's 20-12 preseason loss to New England. With Justin Jefferson (hamstring), Jordan Addison (suspension) and Jalen Nailor (hand) all held out of the contest, Jackson got the start but did very little with the opportunity. The second-year wideout out of Western Kentucky is battling with 2025 third-round pick Tai Felton for the No. 4 spot on the depth chart -- a role that could end up being significant early in the season with Addison set to miss the first three games -- but Saturday's performance likely caused Jackson to lose ground in the competition.

Jackson caught three of four targets for 30 yards in Saturday's 20-10 preseason win over the Texans. With Jordan Addison (suspension) set to miss the first three games of the regular season, Jalen Nailor will line up as the Vikings' No. 2 receiver opposite Justin Jefferson (hamstring), creating a camp competition for the No. 3 job between Jackson and 2025 third-round pick Tai Felton. Felton has the draft pedigree in his favor, but Jackson may be emerging as the frontrunner nonetheless, and his performance Saturday was a notch better than Felton's 2-14-0 line on two targets. Jackson's only NFL experience to date consists of three games for Minnesota in 2023, when he mainly played special teams.

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.
