In the Redskins’ 2015 season opener against the Miami Dolphins, wide receiver DeSean Jackson was targeted just once, a deep ball down the right sideline in which he came up limping and hobbled to the sideline. He would miss the next six games with a hamstring strain, and it took a few more to feel like his dynamic self again.
After an offseason devoted to getting stronger, Jackson corrected last year’s disappointing opener with a much stronger 2016 debut, offering a taste of what an entire season of health might be like in the Redskins' 38-16 loss to the Steelers Monday night.
