Jackson signed with the Giants' practice squad Monday, Art Stapleton of The Bergen Record reports.
Jackson has been more of a kick-return specialist than a wideout, handling that role for two games with the Titans last season and in the preseason this summer before ultimately being waived on cutdown day. He'll now work to earn that role in New York, starting as a member of the practice squad.

Titans' Kearis Jackson: Hurts knee in exhibition game
Rotowire
Jackson suffered a knee injury in Saturday's preseason contest against Seattle and is questionable to return, Terry McCormick of TitanInsider.com reports.
Jackson played only three snaps on offense and didn't see a target before getting hurt. However, he made an impression on special teams with a 30-yard punt return. Jackson is battling for a spot on the 53-man roster with a host of other wideouts, including fellow returner Jha'Quan Jackson. As such, it could be a major blow to Kearis' chances of making the cut if the knee issue keeps him out of the Titans' final preseason contest Sunday, Aug. 25 against New Orleans.
