Los Angeles Chargers cornerback J.C. Jackson isn't expected to play Week 1 against the Las Vegas Raiders, according to NFL Network's Taylor Bisciotti.
Jackson underwent ankle surgery on Aug. 23 to fix a discomfort issue. Initial reports indicated that Jackson would miss two-to-four weeks, which put him in line to potentially play Week 1. The Chargers didn't place Jackson on injured reserve to start the season.
The 26-year-old cornerback signed a five-year, $82.5-million contract with L.A. this offseason and is set to be the Chargers' top cornerback.
Jackson earned his first Pro Bowl nod last season after having a career year with the New England Patriots. He spent his first four NFL seasons with the Patriots, starting all 17 games last season.
