The crown jewel of the Chargers’ free-agent class has gone down.
Late in the second quarter, JC Jackson found himself in one on one coverage against Seahawks receiver Marquise Goodwin. Geno Smith targeted Goodwin in the end zone and Jackson went to leap to make a play.
As he did, replays show that his knee buckled, leading to an awkward second jump that made it look like Jackson had been beaten downfield by the speedy Goodwin.
As the veteran hauled in the catch, giving the Seahawks a 24-14 lead, Jackson stayed down on the field.
Jackson would eventually be carted off with the injury, which as of the writing of this article, seems to be a non-contact knee injury, although official word from the team is not yet available.
With Jackson out, Michael Davis will re-enter the starting lineup after playing the entire second half last week.
