The Seattle Seahawks released defensive end Branden Jackson less than two weeks ago and now he’s once again a member of the roster.
The Seahawks public relations department tweeted the news on Thursday afternoon. Jackson’s potential re-signing was first reported by NFL Network’s Ian Rapaport earlier this week.
The Seahawks now have one spot open on the 80-man roster.
Jackson originally joined the Seahawks in 2017 as a member of the practice squad before his eventual promotion to the active roster. He had re-signed his restricted free agent tender in April before he was released on July 26.
The terms of his new deal, however, will likely be less than the $2.133 million value of his restricted free agent tender.
Last season for Seattle, Jackson started three of 15 games played, logging 20 tackles, two passes defended and two sacks on the year.
