18th September, 2008 - 5:25 pm
Philadelphia Daily News - Eagles' Coach Andy Reid said that rookie wide receiver DeSean Jackson has been spoken to about his premature touchdown celebration against the Cowboys, according to Philadelphia Daily News.

"I'm not going to get into all that. They took care of it. He'll be fine. He'll be fine," Reid said of veteran players speaking with Jackson.

"He was upset, he was upset," quarterback Donovan McNabb said. "I mean, for your first touchdown, that's not how you want to be remembered. It was a rookie mistake, and I've always said, every time I've been asked, you have to remember that he's a rookie. I don't expect that to happen again, and I'm pretty sure it won't. It was a great play, overall, and we, hopefully, look for more plays like that to happen."

Jackson seemed to take the incident a little less serious thAn some in the media.

"Things happen," Jackson said. "It was just one of those things. I was just over-excited, just trying to have some fun. I'm young, but I'm kind of mad at myself. I could have had a touchdown." [READ]
