Seahawks' Branden Jackson Placed on Injured Reserve with Spinal Condition

Seattle Seahawks defensive end Branden Jackson will not play during the 2020 season after doctors discovered spinal issues after he suffered an injury during a scrimmage earlier this month.

"It's a situation where (doctors) don't recommend him playing this season. He really came out of that episode OK, but the testing did show him that he had a physical trait that they want to protect, so everybody has been convinced that the best thing to do is for him not to play this year. I don't know that that's forever, but I do know for right now.
