Josh Jackson Claimed By Arizona Cardinals On Waivers

Josh Jackson, who was waived by the Pittsburgh Steelers on Saturday in order to promote Elijah Riley from the 53-man roster, has been claimed off waivers by the Arizona Cardinals. The Cardinals placed long snapper Aaron Brewer on injured reserve to clear a roster spot for Jackson, who had six total tackles in four games and one start with the Steelers. The move was reported by Darren Urban.

Jackson came up from the practice squad earlier in the season and started in the team’s Week 8 win against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He was originally a second-round pick by the Green Bay Packers and he spent the preseason with the Cardinals.
