Philadelphia Eagles running back Ja’Quinden Jackson was transported via ambulance to a local hospital during Saturday night's preseason game against the New England Patriots in Foxborough, Massachusetts. Jackson sustained an injury during the opening kickoff while covering on special teams. Following a collision, he remained motionless on the turf, prompting an immediate response from medical personnel representing both participating franchises. Trainers deployed a backboard and stretcher as players from both teams knelt on the field in solidarity. The Philadelphia Eagles released a statement confirming that Jackson retained full strength and movement across all extremities prior to leaving the stadium. He was observed raising his left arm before departure, and competition resumed shortly afterward. Further clinical assessments regarding the exact diagnosis remain pending from team medical staff.
