DeSean Jackson suffers back injury in game against the Chiefs

Jeff McLane of the Philadelphia Inquirer reports Eagles wide receiver DeSean Jackson suffered an upper back injury in the first quarter of Friday night's preseason game and will not return.

Can we say fragile... I don't think Jackson will last long in the NFL.

He was hurt already in TC.

:bang2: crap i just had a FF draft and took him as WR2

 

[SLATEmosphere]

ugh. Can he be out for good now?

 

[newlander]

I said from day one he'd get busted UP....to tell you the truth he's been more durable than I imagined. Honestly, he's TINY. (yeah, I know...."that's what she said.")

Re: DeSean Jackson's injury: The #Eagles, more than likely, are just being cautious with their star receiver.

Reid said he took desean out just for precautionary measures.

I'm right there with you on that. That is the only reason I wanted to pass on him in the draft.

I'd take a gimp DeSean Jackson on one leg than a fully healthy Roy Williams.

Its hard to feel sorry for a cowboys fan that would put themselves in a position where you are routing for Desean Jackson to play well each week.

I will never get fantasy football.

i wouldn't root for him, i would gladly take a loss in FF due to him preforming poorly but im not gonna let my distaste for him and the eagles to not allow me to take advantage of his production that he is going to have regardless of whether or not i have him on my roster. if he is going to put up numbers for the eagles anyway, why not take advantage of that in any small way possible? but i have lost games because i didn't start guys that played the boys that week

It is hard to imagine him having a very long career in the NFL - he is just way too skinny. Reid is going to have to be careful with the routes he calls for him to run.

If I'm the opposing DC, I would want my corners roughing him up at the LOS all-game long. Chances are that he would be dogging it by the second half.

problem is, you whiff once and he is in the endzone

Pity...

You do need some help over the top if you are going to try this. It is what teams did to help neutralize TO in 2008. I think it would work even better against DJ because he is such a finesse player.

175 is vulnerable to full speed NFL contact. I would be cautious too.

[Chocolate Lab]

I doubt he's hurt at all. He's more likely jaking it, which fits right in with his character.

And didn't see this before, but

Amen.

He might last a while now that they are so busy "protecting" WRs unlike years ago. BUT I also agree that I don't see him lasting 8-10 years. Probably about 5 more tops. And more and more injuries that steadily erode his ability and willingness to take punishment.
