Marlin Jackson went up to defend a pass down the middle of the field, came down on the artificial turf inside the practice facility at the NovaCare Complex and the whole picture in the defensive backfield changed. For how long, we don't know (yes we do), but a ruptured Achilles tendon sounds like a season-long injury (it is). Jackson, signed in the off-season as a low-risk, high-reward player, reacted the way players react when they know they are seriously hurt.
Jackson immediately clutched his right leg, rocked back and forth, and then took off his gloves and threw them to the ground.
MARLIN JACKSON: Oh my God...aarrgggdggddd! WHY God...WHYY???
God: Because you are the owner of Roy Spancake's legs, Marlin.
MJ: Oh my God!
God: Yes?
