JONESBORO -- Arkansas State's most experienced player stood near the 50-yard line Wednesday, watching instead of participating in team drills during an afternoon practice.
Colton Jackson, a fifth-year senior who has started at three spots on the offensive line, hasn't returned to practice since suffering a concussion, but he's as close as he has been in two weeks -- and he expects to be on the field Saturday against Louisiana-Monroe.
"I'll be active Saturday, and we'll see how things go," said Jackson, wearing a red noncontact jersey while his teammates went through a normal Wednesday workout.
Jackson didn't like sitting out of ASU's last game, a 17-7 victory over South Alabama on Oct.
