Bad luck for Los Angeles, which will lose its star defensive rookie for a handful of weeks.
The Chargers announced on Tuesday that JC Jackson (CB) had ankle surgery. He will be out for two to four weeks. This is obviously a blow for the California franchise, which signed the cornerback this summer for five years and $82.5 million following he racked up 17 interceptions in two seasons with the Patriots.
In the worst case, he would therefore miss two regular season games. This falls all the more badly as the Chargers start the season once morest the Raiders then continue week 2 once morest the Chiefs. Patrick Mahomes rubs his hands, Brandon Staley much less.
The countdown has begun.
J.C. Jackson underwent ankle surgery today at the New York Hospital of Special Surgery.
The procedure was performed by Dr. Martin O’Malley.
Jackson’s estimated return to play is approximately 2-4 weeks.
