In the eight NFL seasons since the Houston Texans drafted Kareem Jackson in the first round, the former Alabama standout has started 108 games and tied the franchise's career interception record.
Almost all of that work came at cornerback. But during this year's offseason program, Jackson practiced at safety, too, and that position will be the priority for him when the Texans restart their preparations for the 2018 season in training camp in about one month.
On June 8, Houston announced that starting safety Andre Hall had been diagnosed with Hodgkin's Lymphoma. Hall will have to devote himself to his cancer treatment.
