The Facts:
Jackson, who has been hampered by a strained right quadriceps, likely will return to the field this weekend, HC Jim Haslett said on Monday. “Steven should be ready to go this week,” Haslett said. “He looked good today and he was questionable yesterday and we thought it was best for him to sit out and get him ready for this game.”

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
After his best game of the season -- a 160-yard, three-touchdown performance in a 34-14 upset of the Dallas Cowboys two weeks ago -- Jackson missed Sunday’s contest against the New England Patriots. Jackson has posted three consecutive 1,000-yard seasons and is well on his way to a fourth. In six games, he has rushed for 508 yards and four scores, adding 25 receptions for 259 yards.
