Fantasy Football

The Facts:
Jackson, the team's highly touted 2006 second-round draft choice, suffered a torn anterior cruciate ligament in the team's AFC Championship game loss to the Colts Jan. 21, according to a league source. Reported by the Boston Globe

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
The injury will affect Jackson's preparations for 2007, limiting his ability to develop a rapport with quarterback Tom Brady in offseason drills. No specific timetable for Jackson's return is known. Week 1 of the 2007 season is Sept. 9, which means Jackson would have less than eight months to recover in time for the opener.
