Houston claimed Jackson off waivers Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
EDGE Analysis
Denver waived Jackson on Monday, but it only took a day for him to find another opportunity with a different team, one he's played for in the past. He's had a better year than he did last season on a per-game basis, but staying on the field has been an issue for him in 2023.

Jackson's four-game suspension was lifted Monday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
EDGE Analysis
Jackson will now return from his second suspension for repeated violations of the league's unnecessary roughness rules which have caused him to miss six of the past seven games. The 35-year-old should return to his starting spot at safety alongside Justin Simmons for Sunday's matchup versus the Patriots.

Jackson's four-game suspension was upheld on appeal Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
It's the second four-game stint this season that Jackson will have to spend on the bench for repeated violations of the league's unnecessary roughness rules. Until he's eligible to play again, 2022 fifth-rounder Delarrin Turner-Yell will likely step back into a starting role at safety next to Justin Simmons.

Jackson was suspended for four games by the league Monday for violating player safety rules.
EDGE Analysis
Jackson's punishment stemmed from a hit he made on Vikings quarterback Joshua Dobbs in which he had an "unobstructed path" and lowered his head, per a letter from the NFL explaining the suspension. The safety returned for the Week 11 game from a two-game suspension for a hit he made in Week 7 on Packers tight end Luke Musgrave. Jackson has 51 tackles, three passes defensed and two interceptions this season.

Jackson's suspension was reduced to two games from four games, Ryan McFadden of The Denver Post reports.
EDGE Analysis
Jackson was originally suspended four games on Tuesday for multiple violations of the NFL's unnecessary roughness rule but will now be eligible to return after just two games. The 35-year-old will be able to play during the team's Week 11 game versus the Vikings, and P.J. Locke will start at safety until then.

The NFL suspended Jackson four games for multiple violations of unnecessary roughness rules, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
Jackson has already been fined multiple times this season, and his latest hit to the head and neck area of Packers rookie TE Luke Musgrave on Sunday was the league's final straw and led to Jackson's month-long ban. Jackson is appealing the suspension, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network, so it's possible he gets a game knocked off. But as of now, Jackson isn't eligible to play again until Week 13 against the Texans. P.J. Locke is expected to fill in as the starting safety next to Justin Simmons for Denver.

Jackson recorded 10 tackles (six solo) in Sunday's 31-21 loss to the Jets.
EDGE Analysis
Jackson's 10 total tackles in Sunday's contest were a season-high for the veteran. Through five weeks, the 35-year-old safety has now recorded 32 tackles (22 solo), two interceptions and two passes defended. Jackson will look to continue his strong start to the 2023 campaign in Week 6 when the Broncos visit Chiefs.

Jackson registered seven tackles (four solo) in Sunday's 70-20 loss to the Dolphins.
EDGE Analysis
Jackson tied with Jonathon Cooper and Zach Allen in tackles on a day when the Broncos' defense gave up an NFL-record 726 yards and 10 touchdowns to the Dolphins. Jackson will look to help dig Denver out of their 0-3 hole in Week 4 as they take on Chicago in Week 4.
