That's decent news, he was sidelined much longer from his previous injury, wasn't he?

CLEVELAND -- The Browns will let D'Qwell Jackson's right pectoral injury "settle down'' for a few weeks and then the team will re-evaluate him, coach Eric Mangini said.





The early prognosis on Jackson is that he'll be out about 4-8 weeks, but he's getting a second opinion from his New York surgeon, Dr. Frank Cordasco, a source told the Plain Dealer on Wednesday.

In other Browns news:

* Cornerback Eric Wright might return to the practice field tonight, and if so, could play Saturday night in Green Bay. Cornerback Brandon McDonald (ankle) returned this morning and is expected to play.

* Punter Dave Zastudil returned to Berea after having his surgically-repaired right knee re-checked in Colorado, but will also rest it for a few weeks before the Browns re-evaluate it.

* Mangini said he's still hopeful that rookie running back Montario Hardesty (knee) will be back next week, the final week of camp.

* Mangini said he's been pleased with the receivers, citing a fine TD catch by Brian Robiskie earlier in the week and another one-handed grab in the end zone by Chansi Stuckey on Tuesday.

* Rookie Joe Haden broke up a pass over the middle from Jake Delhomme to Mohamed Massaquoi in a two-minute drill.

* Tight end Alex Smith beat double-coverage on a post-route to catch a fine pass from rookie Colt McCoy.

* Guard Floyd Womack left the practice field a little early and finished up on the bike. Right tackle John St. Clair was carted off, but cramped up and should be fine. Right tackle Tony Pashos is recovering from a shoulder injury and probably won't play in Green Bay.

I can't remember any athlete in the history of sports who rested up and searched out other medical advice and things turned out all right.
I have the feeling his injury is serious enough that surgery was mentioned,hope I'm wrong but this doesn't give me that everything is going to be ok feeling.

I think this at the very least means he goes on PUP which will keep him out for the first part of the season. Too bad, we really need depth at all positions. He's a solid backer, limited in what he can do, but solid.

I found this in roto times re: replacing DQJ while injured.

Kaluka Maiava and Eric Barton will rotate in place of the D'Qwell Jackson for the duration of his injury, according to Mary Kay Cabot of the Cleveland Plain Dealer.

Our View: Jackson's recovery time has been set at anywhere from four to eight weeks, so the pair could see significant playing time. Barton will likely stand in on early downs while Maiava will get the call in passing This makes sense, but I somehow doubt it will be limited to these 2 guys.
