'Hawks WR Jackson returns for playoff drive Click here to find out more!NFL.com wire reportsKIRKLAND, Wash. (Dec. 14, 2005) -- The NFC's top team might have just gotten better with the return of Darrell Jackson.Seattle's leading receiver practiced and will start for the first time in 10 games Sunday at Tennessee.The NFC West champions (11-2) are seeking their 10th straight win. That and a Chicago loss would allow Seattle to clinch home-field advantage throughout the conference playoffs."This will only be a good thing for us," coach Mike Holmgren said of Jackson's return. "His teammates greeted him. It was funny. He just reintroduced himself today at practice."Jackson has not played since Oct. 2 at Washington, the last time Seattle lost. Ten days later, Jackson elected to have surgery to repair torn meniscus cartilage in his right knee. He was leading the team with 29 receptions through four games.Last season, Jackson set a franchise record with 87 catches.Holmgren said he plans to start Jackson with Bobby Engram at wide receiver -- the Seahawks' primary duo to begin the season. The coach said the response of Jackson's leg to playing and how much stamina he shows Sunday will determine how many snaps the sixth-year veteran will play.Holmgren added Joe Jurevicius will continue to get ample playing time. The eight-year veteran replaced Jackson on Oct. 9 at St. Louis and set career highs of nine catches and 137 yards receiving. Jurevicius has eight touchdown receptions this season. His previous career high was four with Tampa Bay in 2002. http://www.nfl.com/teams/story/SEA/9096644
even though Joe and Bobby were holding it down Darell will be a big impact player to there offense if he is 100%
They'd have a great group of WRs if they still had Koren Robinson... but Engram and Jurevicious have been good.They are lucky to have Jackson back, he will really help since we are goin into the playoffs.
