Jackson Questions Those Questioning Him
As always with Jackson, there are lots of opinions out there.
Some pundits have questioned why Jackson didn’t play sooner. He was a limited participant all last week in practice and then ruled out on Saturday.
Jackson said he woke up Saturday with swelling in his ankle, and the Ravens ruled him out later that day.
“I woke up [and] my ankle was swollen, so that pretty much just did it right there,” Jackson said. “The swelling [was] getting back into it. I feel like it would have been hard for me to make a decision on the day of the game with that happening, reoccurring, so that’s what it was.”
For those questioning Jackson’s willingness to play through injuries, he said he’s still experiencing pain in his ankle when he tries to cut but said it’s “bearable” now, as opposed to last week.
Asked what he would say to people who may have second-guessed whether he plays injured, Jackson had a simple response.
“Why would you second-guess me?” Jackson said.
