J.C. Jackson made strong impression in first practice back with Patriots

Cornerback J.C. Jackson was back on the practice field with the New England Patriots for the first time in nearly two years, and it was as if he’d never left, according to safety Jabrill Peppers.

“It was good,” said Peppers, when speaking with media members after Thursday’s practice. “It definitely went well. I would say he didn’t miss a beat.”

That’s good news for the Patriots considering nearly every cornerback on their roster is injured.

Rookie first-round draft pick Christian Gonzalez is believed to be done for the season with a torn labrum, while Jack Jones and Marcus Jones are both still on injured reserve.
