The Browns placed Jackson (undisclosed) on the practice squad COVID-19 list Friday, Nate Ulrich of the Akron Beacon Journal reports. Jackson won't be available for Sunday's finale against the Ravens unless he can clear league protocols in short order. The practice-squad player has appeared in 12 games this season.

The Browns claimed Jackson off waivers from the Cowboys on Sunday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports. After being selected in the fifth round of the 2019 NFL Draft, Jackson played in just five games for the Cowboys and recorded four tackles. He's buried on the depth chart in Cleveland as well, so he'll likely have minimal impact barring a slew of injuries.

The Cowboys selected Jackson in the fifth round of the 2019 NFL Draft, 165th overall. Jackson (6-foot-4, 275 pounds) is a Miami (FL) product who produced well as a three-year starter, totaling 24 sacks and 37.5 tackles for loss in that span. The problem is that Jackson is all skill, no athleticism, as he's not particularly big by defensive end standards but is a well below average athlete at the position (4.86-second 40, 28.5-inch vertical). If he makes the team his best fit might be as an inside rusher in nickel situations.
