The initial fears about the severity of J.C. Jackson’s knee injury were confirmed to be true Monday, as Chargers coach Brandon Staley told reporters the Pro Bowl cornerback suffered a ruptured patellar tendon in the team’s Week 7 loss to the Seahawks.
Jackson will be out for the remainder of the season due to the injury, per Staley.
NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport first reported on Sunday afternoon that Jackson dislocated his right kneecap late in the second quarter while trying to defend a touchdown pass caught by Seattle wide receiver Marquise Goodwin.
