Seahawks RB Fred Jackson is expected to play today

Seattle Seahawks running back Fred Jackson is tentatively expected to play today. This comes just one week after an ugly looking high-ankle sprain. If he is active, he will serve as the backup to undrafted rookie Thomas Rawls. Rookie Rod smith could be in the mix as week.

Fantasy Analysis:

Quite frankly, this is an amazing recovery. Either Jackson is the toughest guy on earth or this injury was nearly as bad as it looked or was reported. He was expected to miss about a month initially. It will be interesting to see if he can be at all effective.
