Seahawks defensive end Branden Jackson had quite the scare over the weekend when he was knocked unconscious during Seattle’s mock game at CenturyLink Field.
While Jackson was carted off the field and taken to the hospital straight from the scrimmage, he was able to return to the Virginia Mason Athletic Center to start the work week and attend the team meetings.
Coach Pete Carroll did tell reporters, however, that Jackson would be undergoing further testing just to be on the safe side.
“There’s some concerns that they’re going to check out to make sure we’re really clear on, so it’s going to take us little bit of time,” Carroll said via Zoom on Monday. “We’re going to be very deliberate about taking time. Any time you get hit in the head like that, we’ve got to make sure we take all of the time that it takes and all of the considerations. There’s a lot of stuff we’re going to check him out on. We want to make sure he’s OK.”
Jackson will sit out practice for the next few days while he is monitored closely.
