Managing toe injury Jackson (toe) was a limited participant during Thursday's practice. "The toe is getting there. Just have to be smart with it," Jackson said.
Impact Jackson was quick to call the toe issue a nagging injury, as it could affect his change of direction and cuts on defense. The injury is likely to hamper him for a while, but expect the second-year pro to fight through the pain. If Jackson was to suffer a setback, Eli Apple or Troy Pride would be in line for the start at cornerback opposite Rasul Douglas.
