Vikings' Asher Allen retires at age 24
SAN DIEGO, Oct. 29 (UPI) -- The San Diego Chargers announced Friday receiver Vincent Jackson has signed a one-year deal and will return to action after a three-game suspension.
Jackson is under suspension for violating the league's substance abuse policy and will be eligible to play for the first time Nov. 28 against Indianapolis.
Jackson, 27, had been involved in a contract holdout since the start of training camp, but the players' union urged him to sign a one-year deal so he would not cost himself a full season of pension eligibility.
"It feels good to be with my teammates," Jackson said. "I've missed football more than you can imagine. Right now, I'm just looking forward to being able to practice and get back on the field. My only concern is doing whatever I can to contribute and help the team."
Jackson had the best year of his career in 2009, catching 68 passes for 1,167 yards and nine touchdowns. He is in his sixth season with the Chargers.
