Darrell Jackson Injury info? (1 Viewer)

[mad sweeney]

This is from the Post-Intelligencer 8/29:

HAWK TALK: Wide receiver Darrell Jackson was sent home with flu-like symptoms. The plan is for Jackson and defensive tackle Marcus Tubbs to begin practicing following the Raiders game and have them ready to play in the opener against the Lions.

Is DJax officailly the softest player in NFL history? At this point, its impossible to argue otherwise.

Watch the Cowboys game from a few years ago where he was hit after a pass sailed over his head and knocked clean out cold. It was a vicious, cheap and penalized hit. Then he had a seizure in the lockerroom. i know he missed 1 game, but I think that's it. If that isn't tough, I don't know what is.

From Sando's blog at the Tacoma New Tribune.

The Seahawks have finished practicing in shorts and shells. WR Darrell Jackson practiced for the first time since last season. He said his knee was feeling pretty good, but there was no indication yet how prominent his role might be Sunday. Jackson worked as the third receiver today and coach Mike Holmgren said they would ease him back into things.

oach Mike Holmgren sounded optimistic about the team's injury situation heading into the opener at Detroit on Sunday. He was hopeful that TE Jerramy Stevens (knee) would be the only player unavailable for the game. TE Itula Mili (knee) and DT Russell Davis (foot) did not practice, but they did some agility work on an adjacent field. Both seemed to be moving pretty well and Holmgren said they'll probably practice Wednesday (the team does not practice tomorrow). DT Marcus Tubbs (Achilles) practiced for the first time since last season. He was not working with the starters, but he did participate fully.

Coach Mike Holmgren has finished speaking with reporters about WR Darrell Jackson, TE Itula Mili, punt returner Jimmy Williams, RB Shaun Alexander, Lions offensive coordinator Mike Martz and other subjects. The audio is here.

WR Darrell Jackson has finished speaking with reporters following his first practice since undergoing a second surgery on his right knee. I was there for part of it before peeling off to catch Mike Holmgren's session. The Seahawks are giving Jackson a limited number of snaps each day. The Jackson audio is here.

Good new for D Jax fans - hope they take their time in getting him back 100% - looks good as my 4th WR!!!

The bolded part above is what I was referring to with my post earlier. Today wasn't really a "practice" in the true sense of the word. It's obviously good news that DJax was able to just be out there given his situation but the key dates this week will be Wednesday and Thursday when the team practices in pads. If he is able to practice on both of those days I would expect him to be in the lineup on Sunday. So if you're a DJax owner, Wednesday and Thursday are the days you'll want to target for news this week.

 

[GOroute]

i would like to see him in a game, looking good. but this is progress. he will remain a 4th wr and as soon as he proves he is ready to go he becomes a great #2 and a possible #1. cannot wait to pair him up with Torry Holt and Co....

 

[GRIDIRON ASSASSIN]

He was sick today, but is expected to come back this week.

Last seen, he looked fine shoving Steeler players out of the way to catch TD passes.But I'd never keep the guy...

Thank God.Even if he misses Week 1, he's not out for like 4-6 weeks as I was scared about.

 

[bjabrad]

As I asked in the other thread started on this same topic: Can any Seahawks homers tell us if she practices today?TIA

ouch,,,that's harsh for a guy that's been nothing but money

Cobaugh told me to say that...

Cobaugh coulda been a contender,,,I'm afraid I broke his little spirit by kicking his ### too many times and he folded up our little league and took his ball and went home.In thread related news, I've got DJax and DFoster who have broken my heart a few times but I'm climbing back on the horse for another go. I'm either stubborn, stupid, brilliant or am looking for a way to bring myself down to my opponents level since I've been schooling them for a few years now. I hear you (HK) have done quite well for yourself as well.

Seahawks :: WR, TE

TE Mili, WR D. Jackson, Practice

Associated Press, ESPN - [Full Article]

TE Itula Mili returned to practice Wednesday, and the team is assuming he will start against the Lions. "He's still not quite there yet," OC Gil Haskell said of Mili. Thursday will be key, to see how his knee responds. WR Darrell Jackson participated in his second consecutive practice on Wednesday. HC Mike Holmgren said it will be a game-day decision on how much Jackson will play in Detroit. Haskell sees an immediate dividend in having Jackson back as he expects the Lions will stack the line of scrimmage in an attempt to stop RB Shaun Alexander.

 

[Righetti]

Darrell Jackson practiced again, a positive step toward the No. 1 wide receiver being available against the Lions.

That's two sessions in three days for Jackson, who had not practiced since the week of the Super Bowl in February after having arthroscopic surgery on his right knee during the offseason. Jackson is being evaluated each day, which will determine how much he can play Sunday.

Asked about the team's depth at wide receiver, Holmgren said, "The wild card, I guess, is Jackson. We kind of brought him along in an intelligent way medically. If he can come back and play, then we have no depth problems at all. If he can't, then someone else has to step up -- (D.J.) Hackett has to step up, someone else has to step up. That's what we have to wait and see."

His projections are dropping faster than a Viking's pants on a cruise ship.Now the question still needs to be asked...with a start 3 WRs, is he worth starting in week1?

WR D. Jackson To Participate In 25 Plays?

Gregg Bell, Associated Press - [Full Article]

WR Darrell Jackson has returned to practice and has look good doing so. He may even start on Sunday. "We'll have to see how he feels," Holmgren said. "He's had a good week of practice. As far as he tells me, he's feeling good... but I would stick with my original idea of, he's not going to play the whole game." Holmgren guessed Jackson would participate in 25 plays Sunday which is roughly half an offense's normal output.

 

[Deuce'sWild]

25 pass plays?

 

[Billy1x]

I didn't hear the show but they said on SIRRIUS that Jackson said the problem with his knee is the muscles are weaker around the repaired knee than the healthy one. This is causing the issue. The knee is fine. He feels that it will take about three weeks before the knees feel equal.

No link since it was on the radio. If true, what this means is that he may underperform for the 1st couple weeks.

Limiting him is the best way to keep him from getting injured either because of a tired knee or causing another injury in another joint.

Could be a great trade opportunity if someone gives up on him early.

The other thing to consider is that, in most cases, the muscles around the joint/knee help keep from injury more than under-developed muscles. I think that the risk of injury is greater until his muscles around, and supporting, the knee are built back up.

 

[Loomba]

The weak muscles are a new piece of information. The last thing I read/heard was a "bone on bone" situation which is obviously not good a la Dom Davis.

Agreed. He may be a sneaky trade target as he is sure to start slow the first few games. Burleson owners may want to trade Burleson away after a few weeks should he do well and Jackson is poised to return to his usual self.

Can anyone substantiate that "weak muscles" is really the problem?

Or, is this "player speak" and we should still be very concerned. I have to wonder about the weak muscles argument. He could have been in the gym strengthening leg muscles without risking further injury to the knee. Thoughts?

I guess I'll have to bench him week1. Anyone think B.Engram is a good play for week 1-3?

I'm very much leaning towards starting Engram over the likes of Bennett and Housh (if he's out).

 

[Deadzone21]

Not fishing here (but maybe I am trying to get some kind of positive spin on this), but could all this simply be coach-speak, where come game day and D.Jax comes out and plays on fire catching the defense asleep?

If he plays its hard not to start him. 25 plays still allows for a td or two. Are Mili and J. or Stevens playing?

 

[mad sweeney]

I think that if he's out there, you have to assume he's worthy of full DJax attention. Then if he seems slow you can make adjustments. He's not elite, but he's proven to be one of the best and if he's out there you can't underestimate him. He jumped right in mid-season last year without missing a beat.But the way Seattle spreads the ball around, he's not going to affect the coverage as much as if Steve Smith or Chad Johnson were in.

 

[GOroute]

then it comes down to starting him over guys like a.bryant, m.clayton and the other 3rd tier wr's. that's a tough question! would love to have more info from seattle. if he starts i think he is a starter over those guys.

 

[Kleck]

The weak muscles are a new piece of information. The last thing I read/heard was a "bone on bone" situation which is obviously not good a la Dom Davis.

Repeating this sort of nonsense is wrong and irresponsible. If you can find any sort of credible new service that talks about "bone on bone" it will be the first time I've ever seen it.The team, Jackson, and his doctor have all been very up front about the muscular issue over the last month.

Jackson's knee still problematic

THE NEWS

Wide receiver Darrell Jackson practiced again on Friday and appears he is ready to start the season opener against the Lions on Sunday, but there are rumors that he has bone-on-bone friction in his problematic knee, ESPN.com reported.

Our View

Fantasy owners should plan on having Jackson available for Sunday's game, but the bigger news here is that Jackson could potentially be dealing with soreness in his knee all season. We should get a better idea of D-Jax's health after seeing how well he performs against the Lions.

----------------

Who knows if this is true, but the one condition that even a mention will scare me (and probably most) away is bone-on-bone.

Who knows what will end up being the case, but I decided today to part ways with Jackson in a dynasty deal. I really didn't want to deal with the whole situation anymore.

 

[gorf]

The weak muscles are a new piece of information.

that's not new information. about two weeks ago we started hearing about insufficient muscle mass surrounding the knee.

Shick, doesn't the fact that it was ESPN.com that reported it make it reasonable for somebody to mention it? Your response was"Repeating this sort of nonsense is wrong and irresponsible. If you can find any sort of credible new service that talks about "bone on bone" it will be the first time I've ever seen it."Are you saying ESPN.com is not a "credible news service"?

Lately they seem to be way off about alot of things so you could and likely are correct that there is no bone on bone injury. In the past I trusted ESPN as quite possibly the best news agency for sports. I think you need to lighten up a bit on someone posting about the "bone on bone" since it was ESPN who reported it.

didn't this bone on bone thing start with one beat writer's speculation on a blog and then just get propagated?

 

[Kleck]

didn't this bone on bone thing start with one beat writer's speculation on a blog and then just get propagated?

Mike Sando from the Tacoma News Tribune was just spit-balling and through out the word degenerative. I've read every piece written on the Seahawks by either Sando or Clare Farnesworth from the Seattle PI (these two are the primary beat writers for the Seahawks. Yeah, I'm a Seattle homer.). Neither of them has used the term "bone on bone" once in anything I've read. I saw it once with regard to Dominic Davis not long ago. I wondering if it's just becoming a popular catch phrase.I've followed the Jackson situation very closely. His knee is sound according to all reputable reports. The only issue now is the surrounding muscular development. He's going to play this week (probable). I don't think the decision makers would let him if he weren't ready.

 

[Bri]

25 pass plays?

no it says 25 plays not pass playsRegular game is probably 60 plays on average
