DeSean Jackson, out since Week 1, expects to play Sunday against Patriots

Redskins wide receiver DeSean Jackson said Monday he intends to play on Sunday at the New England Patriots, proclaiming himself “good to go” nearly two months after straining his left hamstring in the Sept. 13 season opener.

“Everything is a green light,” Jackson said after joining his teammates for what Coach Jay Gruden called a “bonus” practice Monday at Redskins Park.

Jackson, a three-time Pro Bowl honoree, is the squad’s speediest wide receiver and led the NFL last season with his 20.9 yards-per-catch average.
