Chargers’ J.C. Jackson, Corey Linsley not practicing for second straight day

The Chargers were without two of their keys for the second straight day as they prepare for their Week 3 matchup with the Jaguars.

The Chargers were without two of their key players for the second straight day as they prepare for their Week 3 matchup with the Jaguars.

Cornerback J.C. Jackson and center Corey Linsley were not on the practice field on Thursday.

Jackson is coming off his debut with Los Angeles after recovering from a minor ankle procedure he had before the start of the season.

On Wednesday, head coach Brandon Staley said that Jackson is sore from last Thursday night’s game against the Chiefs.

Linsley suffered a knee injury in the loss to Kansas City, which caused him to miss the entire second half.

If Jackson has to miss this weekend’s game against Jacksonville, Michael Davis and Asante Samuel Jr. will start on the outside, while Will Clapp will start at center in place of Linsley.

Report: Chargers CB J.C. Jackson not expected to play Week 1 vs. Raiders

The Chargers will be without their star corner in Week 1, potentially next Thursday night vs. the Chiefs.

The Chargers will be without their key offseason addition when they open up the 2022 regular season against the Raiders this Sunday.

According to NFL Media’s Taylor Biscotti, cornerback J.C. Jackson is not expected to play in Week 1.

Jackson is currently in a walking boot and did not practice on Monday.

Jackson had ankle surgery on Aug. 23, and at the time, head coach Brandon Staley said that he would be sidelined for two-to-four weeks while he was recovering.

Jackson hasn’t been ruled out of Los Angeles’ matchup with the Chiefs next Thursday night. But given how quick of a turnaround it is from Sunday, it wouldn’t be surprising if he couldn’t play.

While Jackson is sidelined, Michael Davis and Asante Samuel Jr. will start on the outside while Bryce Callahan plays in the slot.

Update: On Wednesday, Staley said Jackson is out of the walking boot and is now day-to-day.

Chargers CB J.C. Jackson out 2-4 weeks with ankle injury

Chargers CB J.C. Jackson had ankle surgery.

One of the Chargers’ splash free agent signings may not be ready to start the season.

Cornerback JC Jackson will be out two to four weeks after undergoing ankle surgery. The news comes after Jackson unexpectedly missed practice on Monday.

It is unclear how Jackson was injured, as none of the media present at practice over the last week reported any sign that he was anything but 100%. Jackson has also not played a single snap in the preseason as part of the team’s veteran rest program.

The two to four-week timeline at this juncture of the season is also an important one. Missing two weeks would get Jackson back on the practice field before a Week 1 matchup with the Raiders. Missing four weeks would leave him likely questionable at best for Week 2 against the Chiefs on Thursday Night Football.

Expect Michael Davis and Asante Samuel Jr. to start on the boundary while Jackson heals up. The two were previously battling for the second cornerback spot opposite Jackson.
