The Philadelphia Eagles almost made it out of week one without dealing with any significant injuries. The keyword here is ‘almost.’ Late in the game, Eagles’ newly acquired defensive tackle Malik Jackson suffered an injury, which had him struggling to get up.
While Jackson made it back to the sidelines on his own power, the pain made the walk back to the locker room too difficult to manage. Therefore, the medical staff had to take Jackson back in the tunnel on a cart. That signaled that Jackson’s afternoon was finished.
Typically, if a player gets carted off, that’s the worst-case scenario that could happen.
