Chargers cornerback J.C. Jackson underwent ankle surgery Tuesday and may miss the team’s season opener.
Los Angeles announced Tuesday that Jackson, nicknamed Mr. Int, had the procedure done at the New York Hospital of Special Surgery by Dr. Martin O’Malley. He is expected to miss two to four weeks, making it a tight turnaround for Los Angeles’s regular-season opener against the Raiders on Sept. 11. Sources told ESPN’s Lindsey Thiry that the surgery was non-invasive and was meant to fix something the corner was born with “so he could feel his best.”
He hasn’t played in the Chargers’ first two preseason games but did participate in the team’s joint practice with the Cowboys.
