Houston Texans claim safety Kareem Jackson off waivers from Broncos, who had hoped to re-sign him

Kareem Jackson is returning to his roots after the Houston Texans claimed the hard-hitting safety off waivers from the Denver Broncos on Tuesday. The Broncos (7-8) were hoping he'd clear waivers so they could re-sign their locker room leader and tone-setter to the practice squad. Instead, he's back with the Texans (8-7), who drafted him 20th overall out of Alabama in 2010.
