Thanks for everything, Eddie and good luck in the league.

 

[planomateo]

Damn, hate it for Eddie. Gonna be hard to fill his shoes.

 

[PhillyGirl]

My heart aches for him. Such a shame. I'll be wearing my #4 jersey for the rest of the season in his honor.

 

[RoeTied]

I hope the team rallies around this like they did when Altee passed. Eddie means the world to those guys.

 

[OldPlayer]

Unless he has surgery, he could make it back for the playoffs.

 

[RollTideRandy]

Time for 6 to step in for 4

Unless he has surgery, he could make it back for the playoffs.

But the word is he out for the season.

 

[Bamabww]

Hate to hear that. Best of luck to him.

But the word is he out for the season.

true, but the playoffs are a couple weeks after the regular season.

 

[EasyTider]

Probably the worst possible scenario in terms of the secondary

 

[We All Bleed Crimson]

Makes me sick for him. Concerned for the team, he is a team leader.

[rick4bama]

true, but the playoffs are a couple weeks after the regular season.

I hope and pray that he can make it back, I was just going by what Coach Saban said.

 

[planomateo]

Was just about to post that.

Hard to replace his experience / leadership.

 

[Bamabww]

Jonathan Allen: I'd say that was a pretty good recommendation.

 

[rick4bama]

I have been a Tony fan sense that head hunter tackler he did on the LSU player last year.

Time for Tony to step up. Eddie heal up and get ready for the draft.

 

[Bama Guy]

We can replace the player but not going to replace his leadership. It is gonna hurt.

Alabama star Eddie Jackson suffers season-ending injury
Alabama star senior defensive back Eddie Jackson suffered a fractured leg during the Tide's win over Texas A&M on Saturday and will miss the rest of the season, coach Nick Saban announced after the game.

Jackson suffered the injury on a punt return early in the fourth quarter.

It's a huge loss for the Tide.

Jackson is one of the top defensive players in the country, one of the top punt returners in the country and entered the game widely projected to be an early-round pick in next year's NFL draft.

After Jackson got hurt, Ronnie Harrison shifted from strong safety to free safety. Hootie Jones stepped in at strong safety.
