Considering he only played 5 offensive snaps in the 3 post season games that year behind bug eyes, troy and gaffney, the chances are high he got hurt on ST. However the injury was not really disclosed until much much later so I guess we know as much about the play he got hurt on as the one that injured Brady's ankle against the charger's last year.
No, we do know and it was a ST play but he was hurt away from the ball and I can't recall if he was part of the return team or playing as a gunner. Bill talked about wanting and expecting to use him as a returner even in his rookie season, but somehow that never materialized either. He looked like an indecisive deer in the headlights the few times I saw him returning kicks. And he muffed or nearly muffed a couple in regular season games. The other CJ had some mishaps in preseason fighting to get noticed for a roster spot. But he also looked explosive and decisive in the return game.
Judging by what Pony Express posted 2 years ago in the link provided,it appears Jackson was exactly what the Gatorland folks said - Just not as good as people thought,BB should not have listened to Meyer on this kid

patchick, I watched the same preseason that you did. Let's summarize:
CJ Jones (1 TD) (3 fumbles) and a game ending 4th down catch that bounced right off his numbers from Kevin O'Connell. Game over.
Chad Jackson (2TDs) (0 fumbles)
(Both of these guys had some nice interior catches on slants and YAC after those catches)
Ventrone (0 TDs), I mean ok, he had some nice slot receptions, but to be honest (Ventrone is more of a hback-hybrid than a WR)
Honestly, can you say that both of these guy did more than Chad in these 4 pre-season games?
What you apparently did NOT watch was the weeks of daily or 2 a day practise sessions where the HOF ex-WR failed repeatedly to distinguish himself from the JAG WRs. Those JAG WRs showed more ability to learn the offense and play STs. Read the Dookfish's, Mrs B's and my (the kindest of all) training camp observations.
Speaking of 'stats' in those 4 games, it's likely that this coaching staff faulted C Jack for two QB killer INTs rather than weaving elaborate excuses for the player, but hey what do the professionals who watched him daily in person and repeatedly after practise on film repeatedly know anyway?

This is known as "bad luck." RAH
im confused, i thought chad actually looked good when he was on the field playing, sure hes had a couple bad plays but every player does, he has shown he can be a scoring threat hes caught 5 TDs starting 1 game in his career and playing a handful of plays throught his rookie season and in one full preseason. That is actually pretty good for sure a small amount of playing time. If he had played a full season starting and was healthy i really believe he can be a 10-13 TD type player. I think he was cut because of his attitude and his inability to mesh with the players and coaches, which is too bad.
Puhleze....enuff with the Chad Jackson ball washing! Chads only ability was to run as straight and fast as he could and hope the QB could put it into his breadbasket. The guy sucks as a receiver and even worse as a returner. Hes got the gray matter of a beetle. He is not, and will in all likelihood never be anything close to an NFL wideout. And heres why. That would require something Chad is seemingly very squeamish about: work.

Uh, no. I see where you're going with that, but Chad Jackson didn't do 1% of what Fryar did WITH THE PATRIOTS.

words can not explain how upset this made me on draft day, made me two yrs ago, made me last yr, and more than ever makes me now
Everybody makes mistakes, and I have credited BB with quickly recognizing and admitting his. That said, I would nominate this one as one his biggest errors. Jennings and Moss would have been a great tandem (love Gaff, but big step up), and Spitz would be solidifying our OL today....
