Desmond Jackson Injury: Updates on Texas DT's Foot and Recovery

Texas defensive tackle Desmond Jackson will miss the remainder of the 2014 college football season with a foot injury.

Head coach Charlie Strong announced the news during a press conference Wednesday, via John Taylor of College Football Talk.

It was originally reported as an ankle injury, but Shawn Clynch of KVUE in Austin issued a correction:

Jackson made headlines when he mismanaged the coin toss in the loss to UCLA. He actually told the ref that Texas wanted to kick off at the beginning of the game after UCLA deferred to the second half.

Ultimately, it meant Texas had to kick off to start both halves, and Jackson apologized on Twitter in the aftermath:

Jackson racked up 11 total tackles in the first three games this season but did not record a sack. The senior started 13 games the past two-plus seasons for the Longhorns, and his loss will surely be felt.
