The Cleveland Browns announced Thursday that they’ve waived CB Robert Jackson.
Jackson, 27, wound up signing on with the Colts as an undrafted free agent out of UNLV back in 2018. He agreed to a three-year, $1.71 million contract with the Colts but was waived with an injury designation coming out of the preseason.
Jackson later had a brief stint on the Texans’ practice squad before joining the Browns. Cleveland brought him back on a futures contract last year and he’s been on and off of their roster ever since.
In 2020, Jackson has appeared in 10 games for the Browns and recorded six tackles, no interceptions and a pass defense.
During his college career at UNLV, Jackson recorded 54 tackles, a half sack, no interceptions and nine pass defenses over the course of 16 games.
