The crash happened yesterday afternoon, about 48 hours before the Seahawks face San Francisco.

Jackson was taken back to the team’s facility and reported no injuries.
RENTON, Wash. (AP) – The Seattle Seahawks have activated fullback Derrick Coleman following his suspension after a car crash that led to his arrest and re-signed center Lemuel Jeanpierre.
