Kareem Jackson finally bids farewell to the Denver Broncos! According to reports, the Safety had indulged in multiple illegal hits, which put him under the concussion protocol, including hefty fines and suspension from a couple of crucial games. Jackson was set to join the Broncos back, but the team hadn’t activated him after practice before the Christmas Eve clash between the Patriots and the Broncos.

Following his release from the Broncos, the safety returned to his original team, the Houston Texans, who acquired their former cornerback on Tuesday after the Broncos did not include him on their roster. The cornerback will play for the Texans for the remaining two games of the regular season. While Jackson prepares to join his old team with full enthusiasm, the Broncos teammate Russell Wilson could not hold back but mention his appreciation toward Jackson.

Wilson’s goodbye message to Jackson!

Broncos’ Quarterback Russell Wilson took to his Instagram story to shoot an appreciation post to his former safety, Kareem Jackson. Wilson reshared a post by Broncos’ official account that read, “Thank you for all you gave in the orange and blue.” The post highlighted a happy picture of the veteran safety, where he could be seen fully donned in the Broncos kit. They further wished K-Jack good luck for his future. Wilson resonated with this post, further adding it to his story with a heartfelt note, “Grateful for you, bro KJACK.”

The post revealed the QB’s immense affection for K-Jack. HC Sean Payton hinted at Jackson’s possible return, stating that he needed to “figure out” how to handle the situation before the game against the Patriots this season. The Payton-led squad thought he’d have to return after clearing all his waivers so they could resign him back to the roaster. But, instead, he turned toward his former team.

What caused Jackson’s waivers?

This season has been challenging for Kareem Jackson overall. According to reports, he attempted an illegal hit on the Packers’ tight end, Luke Musgrave, making things controversial for the football player. Moreover, he even tried to hit the Vikings’ quarterback, Joshua Dubbs, which led to a two-time suspension from the team. Additionally, Jackson lost $837,000 from his paychecks to pay the fine for the illegal hits.

However, he came forth to comment on how he doesn’t “understand” the rules about what went wrong. According to him, he understood the need to keep the opposition safe but lacked clarity on how things could have worked out better. He said, “Obviously, now just try to play within them as much as I can. I’ll be physical, but at the end of the day, they want to see points.”

Now, after joining forces with the Texans, all eyes will be on Jackson because the team is on the edge of being eliminated from the playoffs. Moreover, Jimmie Ward has been placed on the injury list after adding Jackson to the roster. The team is also hoping for C.J. Stroud’s return, who missed previous injuries due to concussions. Will Jackson be able to be the Texans’ glimmer of hope this season? Let us know your thoughts in the comments.
