Almost got through the day without talking about Brandon Jackson. Based on a few comments and emails, owners are probably too concerned about his recent concussion. Jackson spoke with Green Bay reporters Tuesday, and was in good spirits. He said the mental tests he's taken after his concussion have improved each day.

After this summer of concussion news, I don't want to trivialize the injury. But the reality is that players don't usually sit out two weeks, especially when they are called "mild" concussions. Jackson should start Week 1 against Philadelphia. Whether he plays well or not is another matter.
