This tid-bit comes from the same dude (Mike Sando) that speculated using the word degenerative last week. I wish he would just stick to the facts like this has in this piece.Holmgren: 'I'm not frustrated' with Jackson
Posted by Mike Sando @ 04:06:36 pm
WR Darrell Jackson and DT Marcus Tubbs won't be on the field before next week, coach Mike Holmgren said today. Holmgren had expected Jackson in particular to be back by now. Jackson (left) met in recent days with Dr. John Uribe, his surgeon, and they decided Jackson should take some more time before returning. Jackson's knee wasn't the issue so much as the corresponding muscle mass in the thigh (Holmgren alluded to this last week). Once that muscle regains its proper proportion, I suspect we'll see Jackson back on the field. This type of thing can be frustrating for an organization, but in light of what happened with TE Jerramy Stevens last week, I would not expect Holmgren to raise any objections. We have his comments on the matter below.
HOLMGREN, in comments transcribed by the team, when asked if he was frustrated with not having Jackson back at this point:
"I’ve been following it so closely and Darrell and I have talked so much about this, I’m not frustrated. He felt in his own mind that he could be ready at a certain time and it’s pretty close to the time we’re going to be ready. I thought I might have him a week earlier, but as long as I have him for the first game. He’s one of those veteran players that doesn’t need a lot of reps at camp, but the frustration comes with any of the players that have been hurt. Grant Wistrom, Rocky Bernard, any of the guys that had surgery and missed time in training camp I get a little frustrated with that. Injuries are what they are and if you rush them then that’s worse."
