Shedrick Jackson has signed with the NFL team’s active roster.
For the first time in his three NFL seasons, wide receiver Shedrick Jackson is a member of a 53-man active roster.
The Las Vegas Raiders signed the former Hoover High School and Auburn standout to their 53-man roster from their practice squad on Wednesday, when the NFL placed tight end Brock Bowers and safety Jeremy Chinn on injured reserve and also moved safety Terrell Edmunds from the practice squad to the active roster.
Since entering the NFL as an undrafted rookie with the Cincinnati Bengals in 2023, Jackson has played in eight NFL games, but he has done so as a practice-squad elevation.
Each NFL team can elevate two members of its practice squad to active status for each game. After the game, the players return to the practice squad.
