Keondre Jackson’s Kickoff Strip-and-Recovery Lifts Ravens Over Vikings

An undrafted Illinois State rookie rose from the practice squad to a core special-teamer praised for speed and physicality.

Overview

  • Jackson forced a fumble and recovered it on kickoff coverage at U.S. Bank Stadium, setting up a touchdown in Baltimore’s 27-19 Week 10 win over Minnesota.
  • The turnover followed film study on returner Myles Price’s ball security, and Jackson said he secured the ball at the bottom of the pile without doubt he had it.
  • Across four games, he has logged 69 special-teams snaps, roughly 73% of Baltimore’s total in that span, and has recorded six special-teams tackles.
  • Head coach John Harbaugh praised Jackson as a rangy, fast, explosive athlete unafraid of contact, while special teams coach Chris Horton ribbed his now-signature backflip celebration.
  • Baltimore notes Jackson’s rise from practice-squad elevation to the 53-man roster as the team pushes back to .500 in Week 11 against the Browns.
