The Florida statute provides for emergency assistance and temporary detention to individuals requiring substance abuse evaluation and treatment. Such requests are exempt from public records laws. He was able to compartmentalize his private life and numerous projects. Itzkowitz said he received a call from someone close to the family Feb.
While Farias spoke with Jackson the day the sheriff had checked up on him, he said he detected no signs his friend was in trouble.
To Farias, Jackson will always be that guy wanting to help others wherever he could. And the circumstances of his death will not eclipse the enormous generosity of his life. That smile, that sheepish grin that he had. He was an amazing guy. Subscribe Manage my subscription Activate my subscription Log in Log out. Regions Tampa St. Letters to the Editor Submit a Letter.

To that end, the Bucs locked down the mercurial but talented Josh Huff to a multi-year contract after bringing him aboard following his Eagles release last season and also inked Derel Walker, one of the CFL's most explosive wideouts, earlier this offseason. We're going to do the best that we can to add depth and add playmaker. Jackson knee finished the season with 15 receptions 31 targets for yards and no scores over five games.
The year-old's season was cut short in mid-October with a knee injury originally feared to be a torn ACL. While that worst-case scenario was later confirmed to be unfounded, Jackson was ruled out for the season in mid-November, potentially the final transaction involving the Bucs and the veteran receiver.
Jackson is now an unrestricted free agent, and after topping out at four receptions and 44 yards in any of the five games he was active for during the campaign, he appears to be a long shot to return. Jackson remains in superb physical condition but didn't seem capable of getting downfield with the same level of success as in years past, with an yard reception in Week 4 representing his longest of the season. If was indeed Jackson's swan song in Tampa, he wraps up his five-season Bucs career with receptions for 4, yards and 20 touchdowns.
His tenure included three 1,yard seasons, but his yardage totals did drop in each campaign. However, presuming his knee is back at full strength heading into the summer, Jackson could well latch on with a team looking for veteran receiver help. The Buccaneers would then have a quandary on their hands with regard to which player between Jackson and Charles Sims knee to activate from IR later this season, as each team can bring back just one such player to the man roster. On the other hand, confirmation of a severe ACL diagnosis would result in back-to-back abbreviated campaigns for Jackson.
Jackson apparently played through a knee injury during the Buccaneers ' Week 5 win at Carolina, only to realize that something was awry after the game. The team may have been aware of the diagnosis during its bye week, but with practice imminent Wednesday, the veteran wideout will miss the rest of the season due to an ACL tear in his left knee, according to Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times. Expect Adam Humphries and Cameron Brate to take on a larger role in the offense, though a free-agent signing or maybe even a trade could very well occur in the near future.
Jackson's injury went unreported during Tampa Bay's bye week, with the team perhaps hoping some rest would do the trick.
Despite starting every game and playing the vast majority of snaps, Jackson hasn't topped four catches or 44 receiving yards in any contest this season. If he isn't ready for Sunday's game against San Francisco, the Bucs could turn to Adam Humphries or Russell Shepard, though the biggest impact might be an uptick in targets for No.
Jackson did not practice Monday, the Tampa Bay Times reports. Jackson wasn't reported to have carried an injury into the Buccaneers ' Week 6 bye, so it's possible that his absence from Monday's practice was just a veteran's day off. His activity level as the week unfolds should help clarify his situation. Jackson caught three passes on five targets for 36 yards in Monday night's win over the Panthers. Jackson's performance Monday was his third straight with three catches for a receiving yardage total in the mid 30s.
At 33 years old, it's clear that Jackson is Tampa Bay's second option behind ascending star Mike Evans, as his season-high of 44 receiving yards strongly suggests. While Jackson can be counted on to get a handful of targets each week given his depth chart position, he's hard to rely on for meaningful fantasy numbers at this stage in his career. Jackson hauled in three of five targets for 38 yards in Sunday's loss to the Broncos.
The veteran receiver continues to seemingly serve as Jameis Winston's third option at a minimum, but has largely converted his opportunities into catches with the exception of the opener.
When the Bucs were preparing to play the Minnesota Vikings during the preseason, Jackson bought a baby-sized Adrian Peterson jersey and signed Peterson's name on it, gifting it to Shepard, who idolized Peterson, telling him it was for his son, before confessing it was a prank.
But Jackson's greatest impact on Shepard was helping him prepare for life after football. Shepard bounced ideas off Jackson, which led to him founding his own waste management company in Houston, Shep Boys Waste Management. That's where I got that term. Several of Jackson's close friends, former teammates and foundation members have struggled with news reports about Jackson following his death, particularly a statement Hillsborough County Sheriff Chad Chronister made on a local radio morning show, saying Jackson had "chronic alcoholism.
Jackson pleaded guilty twice to drunken driving in and Hester said Jackson grew from those incidents. But Jackson's family told the sheriff's office it believed he was suffering from alcoholism and the effects of multiple concussions at the time of his death. Chronic traumatic encephalopathy CTE is a degenerative brain disease that can be caused by repeated head trauma, including trauma from sports such as football and boxing. It can be diagnosed only posthumously and in a special autopsy that examines specific portions of the brain.
But Andre Kirwan, Jackson's friend of several years who also was a business associate, believes whatever the cause of death, it shouldn't change people's perception of Jackson and the way he lived his life.
You could tell not only was he hearing you -- he was listening, and offering advice, offering guidance, offering assistance, how can he help? How can he get involved? What can he do to leave [the situation] better than when he found it? Air Force Sgt. Russell Fenimore and his wife, Tiffany, found support from Jackson through reading his first children's book -- "Danny Dogtags: Dealing with Deployment" -- to their four sons, Riley, Cooper, Harrison and Murphy.
They definitely know it He's the first person, let alone NFL superstar, to actually care about the children in the community behind the military. To me, that was something special, something unique. Kirwan added, "It wasn't lip service -- it was passion.
