Several Eagles had been injured in the Week 7 game against the Vikings, but none was quite as scary as when Adoree’ Jackson went down after attempting to make a tackle against a big bodied tight end. Jackson took a bit hit to the head during the collision in the third quarter, and was down for over a minute being tended to by the medical staff.
Thankfully, Jackson was able to sit up and then was able to leave the field under his own power. The broadcast showed him checking the movement in his fingers, and stretching out his neck as he talked with trainers on the sideline. To no surprise, Jackson was quickly ruled out with a concussion, and won’t return against the Vikings.
Kelee Ringo — who underwent a big hair change ahead of this game — stepped in for Jackson. Neither of which has played like the solution to the Eagles CB2 problems this season, but they have been able to make it work if the rest of the defense is healthy. That’s going to be a big problem after Sunday’s game, however, with the Eagles defense losing several guys to injuries, and the group still having one more game before their bye week.
