The Denver Broncos have been assigned cornerback Chevis Jackson off of waivers.

Jackson became available on the 18th when he was waved by the New England Patriots.

Jackson is a third-year player with three career starts in 33 appearances. He was drafted by the Atlanta Falcons in the third round and has since played for the Jacksonville Jaguars and Patriots. Jackson played college football at Louisiana State University where he graduated ranked second in school history in passes defensed.

To make room for Jackson on the roster Denver released linebacker Kevin Alexander.

    And Alexander was arrested before he was cut. Too much violence off the field, not enough on it.

    The Patriots waived Jackson after promoting cornerback Tony Carter from the practice squad. New England acquired Carter after the Broncos waived him. So in essence, the Broncos and Patriots basically straight up traded Carter for Jackson, without doing so.
