Agreed. i was hoping that DQ would turn the corner and finally become an impact player, or at least add to the depth of our LB group. Hopefully, the injury isn't serious.

i hope the injury isn't too serious as well. dq seems like a really nice guy, but i just don't think it's going to work out for him in cleveland. i hope i'm wrong!

Poor guy - can't seem to catch a break. But I don't have any real issues with this as I always thought DQ made the vast majority of his tackles 5yds downfield.

If he did hurt himself while tackling, it's a sure bet he did it 8yds into our secondary.

Kaluka Miava was getting first team reps when he went down.

Its probably only a strain; if he torn something he would be in a lot of pain and trainers would have him sent out to be evaluated immediately. He wouldn't be back 15 minutes later watching practice.

Well, he had an MRI Tuesday night, so we should know something soon.

Hey, you're a Browns fan. The preferred method of suicide is to jump off the Detroit-Superior bridge.

We're all Browns fans - the true method of suicide is watching this team year in and year out as it slowly saps the life out of us.....!

Report: Hurt Browns LB Jackson could miss as few as 4 weeks

Browns inside linebacker D'Qwell Jackson, who sustained his second chest muscle injury in 10 months, could return to the field in four to eight weeks, The Cleveland Plain Dealer reported Wednesday, citing a league source.

Jackson was in the midst of a comeback after missing the Browns' final 10 games last season with a torn pectoral muscle that required surgery. He injured his other chest muscle during practice Tuesday, team spokesman Neal Gulkis said.

The Browns aren't expected to officially release any results or provide more information about Jackson until Thursday, when they also have two practices. Jackson plans to seek a second opinion from his New York-based surgeon, Dr. Frank Cordasco, according to The Plain Dealer.

Browns coach Eric Mangini gave his players a day off from practice Wednesday, but they reported for meetings, treatment and workouts in preparation for Saturday's preseason opener in Green Bay against the Packers.

Jackson, one of the Browns' most well-liked and respected players, left the field about halfway through the Browns' second workout Tuesday. He dejectedly walked toward the locker room and favored his right side as he tried to open a rear door to the team's facility.

Jackson returned to the field without his pads and with a towel draped around his neck to watch the final 30 minutes of practice. Jackson was consoled by teammates and coaches as he explained his latest injury.

Jackson tore his right pectoral muscle during an Oct. 18 game when Pittsburgh Steelers tight end Heath Miller landed on him. Jackson was placed on injured reserve two days later and missed the last 10 games of his fourth NFL season.

Losing Jackson, a co-captain last season, would be a tough blow for the talent-thin Browns. However, the team has more depth at linebacker after signing free agent Scott Fujita and acquiring Chris Gocong in a trade. They have five other linebackers with experience as NFL starters.

Jackson, who led the league with 188 tackles in 2008, had a tumultuous offseason. He had threatened to hold out of camp after the Browns failed to give him a long-term contract, signing him to a one-year, $1.76 million tender for this season. He skipped offseason practices and minicamps, but he came home from a goodwill trip to Africa with a new perspective on his situation and signed.

Nobody wants to think or talk about it but its unfortunately possible that DQJ may be done for the year or worse and being an RFA in this situation it would be seriously bad news for him if he cant come back...

Lets just hope it isnt as serious as it appeared...
