The reason he came out was because I believe Kanongatta hit him viciously in the left side above the hip in the rib cage. I couldn't believe he got up from that the way he whipped around. In fact I was wondering if Jackson may have had some internal bleeding the way he was acting on the sidelines.

I only say it on TV but thought it was a body shot too, either way I didn't think he coach should have put him back in
I was at the game and had a great angle on what happened. On his run he was tripped (not sure by who) and went forehead first into the turf. Looked like it hurt pretty bad. I thought concussion at first, but with today's regulations we would not have come back into the game if this was the case. Knowing that, I assume he pinched a nerve in his neck, causing his hand to lose some feeling. He fumbled the next snap. That is why they are reporting a hand/arm issue.
It happened right in front of me. It happened right before the end of the first half. He face planted and barely got to his feet before the count. He was wobbly and couldn't catch the snap that was right in his hands. He was seeing double. He then was taken out for one play. He then went back in and couldn't catch that snap. He didn't start the second half and didn't have a helmet. He was put back in after the second stringer threw an interception. He was never holding his hand or his arm as you would expect if he had a stinger or a hand injury. If it was just a stinger, he would have started the 2nd half.

There is no doubt in my mind that he suffered a concussion, nor was there any doubt in the three people with me. Of course, the coaching staff said it was a hand injury, they couldn't admit that they put him back in after a concussion.
