Jackson tears achilles

PHILADELPHIA (AP)

Eagles defensive back Marlin Jackson has ruptured his right Achilles' tendon an indoor practice

Jackson, who was competing for a starting spot at free safety, was hurt on Tuesday. An MRI exam revealed the extent of the injury, the team said.

A 2005 first-round draft pick by the Indianapolis Colts, Jackson signed a two-year deal with Philadelphia in March. He is coming off a pair of season-ending knee injuries.

Jackson missed the second half of 2008 with a torn ACL in his right knee and returned in 2009 before tearing the ACL in his left knee in a November practice.

Tough loss.

Feel bad for Marlin. 3rd season in a row he's suffered a major injury. He was a solid player for the Colts when he was healthy.

Bummer. He played well when healthy, I agree. Knock the Eagles' secondary down a notch I guess...team D depth definitely hurt by this.

As long as it's not DeSean, I'm happy.

Thanks for the news though.

I always like the guy in Indy, but he rarely was able to keep it together for an entire season (injury or production). I don't know how well he is going to bounce back from an achilles rupture.
