Let's remove "draft expert" Scott Wright from the equation for a moment, and pretend that today Steve Nelson (thanks dhamz) and a respected local journalist (thanks patsox23) independently reached the conclusion that Jackson had suffered a lower leg injury vs. Indy, severity unknown. Considering the credibility of Nelson, an eye-witness at the game, and the anonymous journalist, who has access to the locker room, that alone would be enough to drive speculation about Jackson's status. The fact that Scott Wright, without any knowledge of the other two sources, offered information on the same player, from the same game, and the same location of the injury (lower leg) establishes his credibility in my eyes. He has no affiliation with the team and does not live in the region, there was no hint on this board or in local print that such an injury had occurred, and it is impossible to believe that Nelson's passing comment on WEEI about our #4 WR, which escaped all of us until today, somehow drew the attention of an indifferent "draft expert". Therefore, I believe that Wright did in fact receive inside information about a lower leg injury to CJ, and the information, to a point, seems credible. The specific nature and severity of that injury remains unclear. But if Wright was correct on the player, the game, the location of injury, I see no reason to suspect him of lying about the severity. We can only hope that Wright's source exaggerated the severity- but that's not the kind of hope that helps a fan through the dark days until minicamp.
