Marlin Jackson one of first season-ending injured players
Poor Marlin Jackson. Well, not exactly poor Marlin Jackson. He was a first-round draft pick of the Colts and paid accordingly, with $4.35 million guaranteed in a rookie contract worth $7 million. Over the last three years, however, injuries have sealed the fate of Jackson, with Tuesday’s ruptured Achilles inside the Eagles’ indoor practice facility being the third major injury in three years, following ACL tears in both 2008 and 2009. The Eagles knew the injury risk coming in and protected themselves contractually; it usually is no coincidence that players with recent history of injuries get injured again, usually at different body parts overcompensating for the previous injury.
