Jackson participated in team drills on Monday and suffered no setbacks. He told the media that he thinks he'll be able to make his preseason debut in Game 2, when Washington faces off against the Cleveland Browns. That will give him a full week of practices, as that game is set for Monday, Aug. 18.
Jackson said that he “felt good” in practice and that he’ll be out there “flying around with my teammates” when Washington plays the Browns.
Fantasy Impact: Jackson is one of the most prolific wide receivers in the NFL. Any injury is a worrying proposition for fantasy owners, but as expected, it was just a minor ankle injury that he has moved past. He’ll play in Monday’s preseason game and if he comes out with no setbacks, there’s absolutely nothing to worry about. He’s one of the top fantasy options available at the position.
