Seahawks' Jackson has knee surgery
Seattle Seahawks: Wide receiver
Darrell Jackson had surgery to repair cartilage damage in his right knee on Wednesday.
Coach Mike Holmgren said that Jackson will remain in Florida -- where the surgery took place -- for another week and have one more examination before returning to Seattle to rehabilitate the injury.
"I can't tell you how long it's going to be. The cartilage and scopes typically can be two weeks, guys come back in two weeks, sometimes it's longer," Holmgren said. "We just have to see how it is."
Seattle's other starting receiver, Bobby Engram, was listed as out on the injury report with two cracked ribs. Engram was injured two weeks ago against Washington.
Last week, Joe Jurevicius and D.J. Hackett started in Jackson and Engram's place. Jurevicius had a career-high nine catches for 137 yards and a touchdown, while Hackett had five catches for 43 yards.
Cornerback Andre Dyson and offensive lineman Floyd "Pork Chop" Womack were both listed as doubtful. Dyson has right hamstring pull and Womack has a left quadriceps injury.
