Defensive end Branden Jackson was deliberately knocked out during the Seahawks mock game Saturday at CenturyLink Field, Bob Condotta of the Seattle Times reports. Jackson was removed from the field in an ambulance and taken to a hospital.
“Sorry,” said coach Pete Carroll.
Carroll called off rehearsal practice after Jackson’s injury, which came after about 30 minutes of work.
Jackson had movement in his extremities after a collision with attacking lineman Cedric Ogbuehi, while Jackson was chased with Carlos Hyde to run back.
“He hit heads with Cedric and had maybe caught him with his helmet in his chin and it was like a knockout punch, is what it was,” Carroll said. ‘So we took all the precautions and looked for him, and he had movement and all that kind of stuff. But we still had to do the right thing and take full care of him until we know more. “
