DeSean Jackson, w
ho's quickly developed into a star for the <a href="http://nfl.fanhouse.com/team/philadelphia-Eagles">Eagles, was carted off the field during Philadelphia's training camp practice Saturday, multiple media outlets reported.
According to the Philadelphia Inquirer, Jackson "appeared to injure his back" while catching a pass from Kevin Kolb. He was then helped off the field by trainers and carted to the locker room. The <a href="http://nfl.fanhouse.com/team/philadelphia-Eagles">Eagles confirmed that Jackson had injured his back and said he would be reevaluated.
"He'll be all right. It wasn't anything that serious," LB Omar Gaither told the Philadelphia Daily News. "Obviously, they're gonna take the full precaution, but he'll be fine."
While Jackson's injury doesn't sound overly serious at first blush, any lasting issue for the third-year WR would be troublesome for Philadelphia. Jackson's been a major offensive threat for the Eagles since they drafted him out of Cal in 2008 -- he hauled in 62 passes that season, then matched the number in 2009. He bumped his touchdown total from two in his rookie season up to nine last year, plus averaged more than 15 yards per punt return on 29 attempts.
