Don’t think I’ve ever seen this before. USC played a RB who was ruled as “Out” on the pre-game injury report. But due to countless RB’s getting injured in the game, they were forced to play him.
Jackson did not initially dress for the game, but after the injuries, he was medically cleared to play and suited up.
