SAN DIEGO, Calif. -- One of these days, Pro Bowl receiver Vincent Jackson may actually catch a pass for the Chargers.This year, all he's caught is flak.
The latest brouhaha came Sunday night, when Jackson's season debut ended after only three plays.
The Chargers announced that Jackson suffered a right calf injury. Skeptics on the Internet and San Diego's radio stations, meanwhile, questioned whether Jackson was actually hurt.
Call it fallout from a lengthy salary squabble between the player's agent and the club.
Monday afternoon brought another twist courtesy of Chargers running back Mike Tolbert, who told reporters that Jackson had suffered a left calf injury leading up to Sunday night's 36-14 rout of the Colts in Indianapolis.
"I saw him when he did it in practice a couple of days ago, and it didn't look good," Tolbert said. "But he was still out there trying to fight through it. And actually some of the coaches had to tell him to calm down."
Pouring ice water on talk that Jackson wasn't hurt, coach Norv Turner said Jackson had an MRI exam on Monday.
"There is considerable swelling in his calf," Turner said, after noting that he seldom discloses when a player has an MRI exam, let alone the results. "There is a lot of soreness. I would think it would be hard for him to play this week."
