Chad going deep at Hoover High School

I think IR

We're good at WR
Washington is playing Special Teams kickoffs too
so there is no reason to bring Jackson in to be the 6th WR who probably won't play ST

Activated.

But i don't know. He was injured last January? Isn't 10 months pretty quick to come back from an ACL type injury?

I think we have until Thursday with Jackson. We activated him on Wednesday of week 7's preparations. So I think Thursday would be 21 days.

I don't know if Jackson gets activated unless one of the injured guys go to IR. I'd say 60-40 against Jackson getting activated.

I fully expect to see him on the roster. Because...

- he's healthy, by all accounts;
- unlike Gaffney and Washington he's actually signed for next season and it would be good to work him into the offense;
- he can contribute on special teams;
- BB has said nice things about his maturation process;
- he has a boatload of talent.

But what the hell do I know.

I suspect he'll be activated... if they were thinking IR they've sure not been playing up his lack of health

Additionally with some of the health issueas at TE Gaffney's often found himself in a TE type role, perhaps making room for Jackson on the roster as well

Of course, finding a spot for him on the gameday active list might be a different matter... still BB makes absolutely clear how he values special team roles.

Troy is going to be a different matter - I still feel that Troy will be situationally signed and cut once he's off the PUP - and that depending on the week to week game situation and overall health there could be a lot of movement on the roster

I don't know. Unless Belichick feels comfortable putting him back in special teams, I say it is a toss up whether they activate him. Yes, there is a benefit that he is the long term future of the Pats, but Belichick is more concerned about the here and now. If he thinks Troy Brown could actually get activated to the active roster, I don't know if Chad Jackson can too.

If this is coming down to special teams I don't know why we'd be giving the edge to Washington, when comparing him to Jackson. From what I remember, Chad was a good returner when given the chance last year, and he was contributing on coverage teams as well. Actually, his injury came while Chad was on coverage teams.

Also, Washington has had his own serious injury problems throughout his career, and he's had at least one injury concern so far this season.

PS: I'm a LB and I've never had an ACL repair, but my cousin is a 5'11" speedy WR, and he had ACL repair just this past year. He was out on the field only six months after the repair, and he had the swelling Jackson didn't have.

So who do they put in IR?

Mel Mitchell? He's been out for about a month?

Wilson again?

sebman2112

IF the Patriots were to simply IR or release Mitchell, and send ventrone back to the practice squad, that would open up two spots for both Jackson's.

Really, I'm kind of surprised BB activated ventrone instead of Eddie Jackson this past week, but maybe he wants the full 21 days to evaluate the situation.
