Chargers CB J.C. Jackson benched in second half vs. Broncos

Whether due to an ankle injury or poor play, cornerback JC Jackson is out of the game.

After giving up two big plays down the field in the first half, Jackson did not take the field with the Chargers’ defense to open the second half. Michael Davis replaced him.

With Jackson in the game, Los Angeles allowed three completions of 35 or more yards to Russell Wilson, the first time he has accomplished such a feat this season.

Jackson also busted a coverage on Wilson’s passing touchdown to Greg Dulcich, abandoning his Cover 3 landmark to follow KJ Hamler downfield.

Expect Davis to continue to man the corner spot opposite Asante Samuel Jr. if Jackson stays on the sideline. Whether Jackson will return is unclear at this time.
