The Facts:
Jackson’s injured right knee could keep him out for a month or more, longer than first expected. The Seahawks’ leading receiver was advised to undergo arthroscopic surgery after an orthopedist detected torn cartilage in addition to the previously diagnosed bone bruise, sources said Friday. The tear affected the lateral meniscus, which consists of cartilage on the outer side of the knee.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Surgery was tentatively scheduled for Wednesday. If Jackson goes through with the operation, as expected, he could need at least four weeks to recover. A precise timetable was not immediately known. Joe Jurevicius replaces Jackson in the starting lineup.
