The Facts:
Jackson expects his workload to pick up soon, when he gets total clearance from doctors for his offseason workouts. Jackson said he’ll see a doctor next week, as he recovers from the knee injury he suffered two months ago. “I’ve been doing rehab the entire time,” Jackson said. “I’ve been able to get up and do some movement on it. I have a meeting with the doctor next week. I’m sure I’ll be cleared and be able to do everything.”

Jackson added: "I’m doing some lifting now. I’m 100-percent, I feel like it. I don’t anticipate any kind of drawbacks or anything before I get cleared by the doctors next week. ...” Jackson is eager to work with the team's new coaching staff, a group that has already suggested a scheme that will utilize both Jackson and C.J. Spiller in tandem again. Can we believe them, though? Jackson, who turns 32, averaged 3.8 yards a carry and became fumble-prone last season while Spiller, enjoyed breakout season despite limited use by former coach Chan Gailey. Spiller carried the ball just 207 times (12.9 per game) but still gained 1,244 yards for a 6.0 average that tied Adrian Peterson for best in the NFL. He also added 43 catches for 459 yards, giving him 1,703 scrimmage yards, good for sixth overall in the league. Given that breakout, it seems all but certain that Jackson will play second-fiddle to the more dynamic Spiller going forward. But we'll continue to watch for more.
