NASHVILLE – There was a reassuring sense of familiarity for the Tennessee Titans defense with the return of cornerback Adoreé Jackson.
Yet for the 2017 first-round pick who missed this season’s first 13 games, there also was a moment prior Sunday’s 46-25 victory over the Detroit Lions that was unlike any he had experienced in his NFL career.
“I had never been in a circle with the (defensive backs),” Jackson said. “I’m usually out there with the returners. So, they were slapping hands and giving head-butts and that was new to me. It was fun being out there with them and they said they were praying for me and thankful to have me back out there.”
NASHVILLE, Tenn. It had been a long time coming, but the Tennessee Titans finally got cornerback Adoree Jackson back on the field in last Sunday s 46-25 win over the Detroit Lions.
Jackson missed the first 13 games after a knee injury landed him on injured reserve on Sept. 14.
The long road back required a lot of patience and perseverance because Jackson was never sure when he d be able to return. Jackson said it was just one of those things where something crazy happened when asked about the injury. Patience is a virtue. For me, it was just trying to understand that I didn’t want to rush anything that would hurt myself or the team, Jackson said on Sunday. It’s been 13 weeks, that’s a hell of a long time.
