49ers defensive lineman Tarron Jackson was stretchered off the field and taken to Stanford Hospital at today\u2019s practice, but coach Kyle Shanahan said Jackson is conscious and has feeling in his extremities.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere with Tarron Jackson there at the end, always scary when someone gets taken off on a stretcher,\u201d Shanahan said. \u201cBut just letting you guys know, he is conscious, inside communicating with us, can feel all his extremities, and they\u2019re taking him down to Stanford now just for further testing. So hopefully, we cleared the real scary stuff, and hopefully we\u2019ll get some good news on his neck.\u201d<\/p>\n
Shanahan said he didn\u2019t know how Jackson suffered the injury but that the team was concerned to see him go down and relieved to see him get off the field.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s always hard like that and especially when guys watch that,\u201d Shanahan said. \u201cWe were close to him, so we could hear him talking, we could see everything moving, so I just told the guys that, which I think eases them up a little bit for the biggest fears and asked them if they\u2019re okay to continue to go. They all yelled \u2018yes,\u2019 and then we finished our last period and a half.\u201d<\/p>\n
Jackson signed with the 49ers\u2019 practice squad in January and has been with the team throughout the offseason. He has previously spent time with the Eagles and Panthers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"49ers defensive lineman Tarron Jackson was stretchered off the field and taken to Stanford Hospital at today\u2019s practice,…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":41204,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[63],"tags":[349,99],"class_list":["post-41203","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nfl","tag-nfl","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/41203","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=41203"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/41203\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/41204"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=41203"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=41203"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=41203"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
