Finds new opportunity
Jackson signed with the Giants' practice squad Monday, Art Stapleton of The Bergen Record reports.
Analysis: Jackson has been more of a kick-return specialist than a wideout, handling that role for two games with the Titans last season and in the preseason this summer before ultimately being waived on cutdown day. He'll now work to earn that role in New York, starting as a member of the practice squad.

Questionable for preseason finale
Jackson (knee) is questionable for the Titans' last preseason game at New Orleans, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
Analysis: Jackson sustained a bruised knee during Saturday's preseason game versus the Seahawks, and now it looks like that injury could keep him out for the rest of the preseason. If he is indeed out, undrafted rookie free agent Sam Schnee could see an uptick in reps.

Hurts knee in exhibition game
Jackson suffered a knee injury in Saturday's preseason contest against Seattle and is questionable to return, Terry McCormick of TitanInsider.com reports.
Analysis: Jackson played only three snaps on offense and didn't see a target before getting hurt. However, he made an impression on special teams with a 30-yard punt return. Jackson is battling for a spot on the 53-man roster with a host of other wideouts, including fellow returner Jha'Quan Jackson. As such, it could be a major blow to Kearis' chances of making the cut if the knee issue keeps him out of the Titans' final preseason contest Sunday, Aug. 25 against New Orleans.

No role on offense
Jackson played 11 snaps on special teams in Sunday's 27-24 overtime win over the Chargers and brought back two punts for 11 yards.
Analysis: The undrafted rookie out of Georgia earned a spot on the Titans' 53-man roster out of the preseason after securing a job as the team's top kickoff and punt returner, but he doesn't look as though he'll be featured at receiver anytime soon. Jackson has yet to log a snap on offense through two weeks.

Makes 53-man roster
Jackson was informed Tuesday that he's made the Titans' initial 53-man roster, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Jackson exited the Titans' second preseason game this year due to a knee injury, but he returned to action for the team's preseason finale and played 17 snaps on offense and seven on special teams. He secured his lone target for a 26-yard touchdown during the team's exhibition win over New England and should begin the 2023 campaign as a depth option at wide receiver.
