The bad injury news keeps pouring in for the Washington Redskins.

We learned earlier that DeAngelo Hall will be sidelined for "at least a week", and now, wide receiver DeSean Jackson will reportedly miss the next one to two weeks with an AC joint sprain in his shoulder, according to the Washington Post.

Earlier Tuesday ESPN reported the three-time Pro Bowl wide receiver would be out "at least a week" with a Grade 2 separated shoulder.

Though reports initially said Jackson injured the shoulder when he ran into a blocking sled during Thursday's joint practice with the Houston Texans. However, Redskins head coach Jay Gruden reportedly denied that contact with the sled caused Jackson's injury.

Jackson will miss valuable practice repetitions over the next few weeks. Although the Redskins have brought back the same offensive system, Jackson has flipped positions with Pierre Garcon. Jackson will be manning the split end, or "X" wide receiver position in 2015.

Jackson's injury opens up the door for promising rookie wide receiver Jamison Crowder to build on his impressive performance during the Redskins' spring practices. Crowder put together arguably the best highlight from Redskins camp so far when he burned Texans cornerback Kareem Jackson on a one-on-one route during Thursday's practice.
