Malik Jackson was carted off the field on Sunday afternoon, leaving Eagles fans everywhere with their hearts in their mouths. Would the injury bug bite again? The defensive tackle who signed a three-year deal with the team this offseason was reportedly wearing a walking boot on Monday, which is never a good sign. Doug Pederson was cautious when talking about the injury to reporters, stating that he will ‘miss time’, but that the team is waiting on test results to determine whether or not he needs surgery.
Whether Jackson is ripped of his first season in midnight green, or it’s just a few weeks, the loss is a big one and will hurt the defense.
