Eagles rookie Ja’Quinden Jackson transported by ambulance after kickoff injury

Philadelphia Eagles rookie running back Ja’Quinden Jackson was removed from the field in an ambulance during Saturday night’s preseason matchup at Gillette Stadium. The injury occurred on the opening kickoff when Jackson collided with New England Patriots running back Lan Larison while attempting a tackle, resulting in a head impact that left him unconscious and with his arms in a fencing position. Medical staff promptly placed Jackson on a backboard, then a stretcher, and escorted him to the ambulance that entered the field. The entire Eagles roster gathered on the sideline to wish him well before he was taken off the field. > "Jackson has strength and movement in all extremities and is being taken to a local hospital for further evaluation," the team said in a statement.
