Reid did not say when Jackson could be expected back on the field. The hit came during the second quarter of the Eagles 31-17 win against the Falcons.
Quarterback Kevin Kolb, who sat out after a concussion in Week 1, said Jackson should handle the situation with care.
"Take it seriously because it is serious," Kolb said. "I just felt so bad. I'm part of the play, and I never saw the guy.
"DeSean is a tough guy and he'll be out there as soon as he can."
Jackson missed a game last season after suffering a concussion against Washington.

what a cheap shot! atlanta fans should be embarassed.
Ya my mom freaked out when she saw that shot and tht defender deserves a fine
With all the pressure, Kolb really looked good! My oppinion...., we have the 3 best quarterbacks in the league, so, "We'll be just fine."
Jackson is OUR BEST PLAYER....get him healthy & don't risk him on punt returns...please?
Your all crazy, it wasnt a cheap shot, it shouldnt have even drawn a penalty. watch it again. Robinson lowered his shoulder and Jackson wasnt defensless, he had alresdy put both feet on the ground and got his head turn to face Robinson!
It was a helmet-first hit to the jaw. It was exactly the definition of a cheap hit.
While it was not illegal to be sure, you are right about that, it still was unecessary and he could have avoided hitting Jackson so incredibly hard, just hit him, or tackle him and be done with it. It was so hard, I wouldnt be surprised if this hit is the beginning of the end for footbal allowing hits this hard and suspensions being the result from now on. It is not necessary to hit THAT hard, just hit or tackle, but not decapitate!
You are absolutely right. Idiot Eagles fans see what they want to see to benefit them. Had it been a hit on Romo they'd be cheering. American football is not European football/soccer...there is physical contact people.
Kevin corn on the kolb was suppose to take that sack.He look okay but Mike Vick is still our starter
Mik.e Vick is NOT your starter he is your Felon.
This is really scary ,he better be xtra careful all of the hits can cause serious problems eventually.........
A second concussion? Eagles doctors need to be very careful about when they clear him to play. I'm an Eagles fan, and Jackson is easily their most dynamic player. But bringing him back too soon could jeopardize a promising young career. BEST OF LUCK DeSEAN! And btw, that was NOT a cheap shot.
D Jackson maybe be fast but is way to skinny to be going across the middle like that...as yesterday was case and point.

I guess this cocky jerk wont be doing his little dance for a while. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.
That was a good hit it is part of the game...As a former receiver that is chance you take going across the middle...
I guess desean the cocky little jerk wont be doing his danc efor a little while. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.
That wasn't no cheap hit, Jackson was looking to do some pretty spin move but got decleated instead.
These type of hits are going to continue as long as the league just fines them 10k, 20k etc. This is pocket change to these guys. Eject the from the game, fine them 100k and suspend them for the length of time the victim is also out. I bet you see a dramatic decrease in the number of these hits! Thugs will be thugs, treat them as such!
