JAMAAL JACKSON WILL REJOIN EAGLES FOR STEELERS GAME
Posted by Mike Florio on September 20, 2008, 6:47 p.m. EDT

Eagles center Jamaal Jackson missed practice on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday. The specific reason for the absence previously wasn't known.

Sal Paolantonio of ESPN reports that Jackson's brother was killed in Miami by a drunk driver on Sunday, and that Jackson has been excused for all activities leading up to the Week Three game against the Steelers.

Jackson knew about his brother's condition before playing on Monday night against the Cowboys. Jackson then traveled to Florida with the blessing of the team, and has stayed there all week.

The funeral was held on Saturday, and Paolantonio reports that Jackson and several teammates attended. Though the identity of the other Eagles' players isn't known, it's believed that one or more other starting offensive linemen made the trip.

As a result, the players who are with Jackson will miss meetings and other activities typically conducted on the day before a game. The player are expected to rejoin the team on Saturday night or Sunday morning.

Jackson is expected to start against the Steelers.

That's pretty zesty

Pretty sure ESPN has a policy that commentators calling the game can't make picks on the game.

no i think during the game or right before the game started he said something about him thinking dallas would win.

[PhillyPhreak54]

Damn...maybe that's why Jackson had a bad game. Kind of hard to play with that shtein on your mind.

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

Jackson in?

Eagles 19
Steelers 17

[PhillyPhreak54]

Ditka, Keyshawn, All he does is catch TDs, Mort and Jackson all pick the Eagles.

Eric Allen and Schlereth too.

Hoge, Jaws and Golic are not.

[hunt]

my prediction was incorrect.

[Geowhizzer]

My prediction of the Eagles' offense was essentially correct (though, if Westbrook had played, it may have been different).  The defense was far superior than it looked last Monday.

Who'd have thought that the Eagles' run defense would look this much better than the pass defense after three weeks?

[Wingspan]

Wingspan Eagles 22-20

I know I am an insufferable homer and everything...but this is wrong. I actually picked the steelers to win (same score though).

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

My apologies.  I appreciate your honesty.
