Vincent Jackson was arrested this morning on suspicion of Driving Under the Influence in San Diego. He was pulled over in the wee morning hours and failed a field sobriety test according to Highway Patrol Officer Ray Scheidnes. Scheidnes did not know Jackson's BAC.Everyone makes mistakes (although athletes seem to make an awful lot of the alcohol-related variety) but this could be a biggie for Jackson and the Chargers. Jackson is on probation for a prior DUI arrest and we all know how serious Commissioner Goodell is when enforcing the personal conduct policy. Goodell's not afraid to hand down punishment regardless of the outcome of legal proceedings.
If Goodell decides to take immediate action and suspend Jackson then the Chargers might be short-handed when the take on Pittsburgh this weekend. They really need every weapon they can get if they hope to win against the Steelers and their tough defense.
