Safety Dance
Posted by: david
Bengals safety Dexter Jackson has been placed on injured reserve after suffering a hamstring injury in practice yesterday. Jackson, who has a long history of injury issues, had struggled to stay healthy, but when he returned two weeks ago he was quickly inserted in place of second-year player Marvin White in an effort to limit big plays in the passing game.
Obviously, given the way Houston’s Matt Schaub picked the Bengals apart last week, that didn’t work out so well.
To replace Jackson, the Bengals signed journeyman safety Chris Crocker. Originally a third-round pick by Cleveland in 2003, Crocker has also spent time with Atlanta and, most recently, Miami. So, uh, welcome aboard, Chris!
