Concussion mars big effort by Bucs WR Jackson

NEW ORLEANS - Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver DeSean Jackson suffered a concussion in the Bucs' 48-40 win over the New Orleans Saints.

Late in the fourth quarter, Jackson caught a 35-yard pass from Ryan Fitzpatrick but fell hard face-first into the turf when he took a hit from Ken Crowley.

Jackson was on the field for several seconds as trainers examined him, before walking off with assistance. He also had his shoulder on ice in the locker room after the game.

Jackson was having his biggest game as a Buccaneer prior to the injury, catching five passes on five targets for 146 yards and two touchdowns, averaging 29.
