Skin's safety suspended indefinitely

Report: Tanard Jackson faces minimum suspension of one-year

As the Redskins cut to 53 players, at some point they may have another roster spot open.

According to Jay Glazer of FOX, Redskins safety Tanard Jackson is facing a suspension of at least one year for his latest violation of the the substance-abuse policy.

Jackson, who signed with the Redskins in the offseason after five seasons in Tampa, was suspended for a year in September 2010.

The posture of Jackson’s current case is unclear. Glazer says that Jackson has been informed of the suspension. Jackson has appeal rights, and Jackson possibly could secure a reduction of the banishment.

If his appeal fails, Jackson will miss at least one calendar year, at which time he would have to apply for reinstatement. He will be available to play until the suspension is finalized.

Jackson currently is listed as a third-string free safety for the Redskins, behind Madieu Williams and DeJon Gomes.

A fourth-round pick in the 2011 draft, Jackson started every game of his first two NFL seasons.

No I saw that on another crappy site, my bad....:hide

totally called this

Actually he was the starter and not 3rd string.

But from what I also heard is that both Trent Williams and Fred Davis flunked their 3rd drug test but they did sp BEFORE the new CBA agreement, so they dodged a bullet on this one. Maybe we should send them some brownies.

And there other starting safety, Brandon Merriweather just sprained his ACL and MCL and is out for 2-4 weeks. Don't see how that is a 2-4 week injury, one would think it'd be longer.

Cooley may return to the Redskins. Funny, as to how no other team wanted him when he was cut, and yet Redskins were upset that he wasn't offered up for a trade. .
