Rookie running back Brandon Jackson left Sunday's practice after he was knocked to the ground during a 2-minute drill.
The second-round draft pick stood up after a few seconds without assistance, but he did not participate in any other contact portions of practice. He rubbed his abdomen and grimaced on the sideline, then appeared to be in pain as he undressed in the locker room.
"I don't know the extent of it," McCarthy said. "But anytime a guy lays down like that, that's not a positive sign. Hopefully, he'll be OK."
It was the second time in training camp a running back has stayed down after being hit in a non-tackling portion of practice. On Aug. 9, safety Tyrone Culver accidentally clothes-lined Noah Herron, but Herron returned to drills a few minutes later.
Linebacker Brady Poppinga made the most contact with Jackson, who was running right on a draw play from the 6-yard line.

This doesn't sound good.
