They get activated on deadline day</p> <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'></p> FOXBOROUGH - One year after scrambling to fill out their receiving corps, the Patriots find themselves in a much different situation. Already five deep and strong at the position, they further solidified the spot by activating 2006 second-round draft choice Chad Jackson off the physically unable to perform list yesterday.</p> Jackson, who played in 12 regular-season games and two playoff contests last year, tore his anterior cruciate ligament in the AFC Championship game Jan. 21 in Indianapolis.</p> He joins a group that includes Randy Moss, Donte' Stallworth, Wes Welker, Jabar Gaffney, and Kelley Washington.</p> The Patriots thought highly enough of Jackson to trade second- and third-round draft choices to move up and select him 36th overall. Facing high expectations in the wake of Deion Branch's departure, Jackson responded by having an up-and-down rookie season, finishing with 13 catches for 152 yards and three touchdowns.</p> The youngest player on the roster at 22, Jackson has seemingly benefited from the presence of Moss this year. At 6 feet 1 inch, 215 pounds, Jackson brings size and speed to the group, which has sorted itself out with Moss, Welker, and Stallworth earning the most playing time.</div></p> Good news I guess, it doesn't hurt to have more recievers out there, in case of an injury.</p>
