Dilfer is to have surgery today (most likely out for season) and no new news on Jackson, other than he was listed in stable condition last night.

UPDATE:

Seahawks' Jackson won't play against Redskins

Seattle Seahawks coach Mike Holmgren indicated Wednesday that the seizure Darrell Jackson had during last Sunday's game in Dallas was more serious than initially thought.

During his weekly news conference, Holmgren said the wide receiver "almost died'' because of the seizure.

A team spokesman later clarified the remark, saying Jackson never was in immediate danger of dying because his heart was beating and he continued to breathe. The spokesman said Holmgren meant to convey that Jackson could have died.

The coach's earlier comments, however, showed how seriously the team took the seizure.

Dallas Cowboys safety Darren Woodson has been fined $75,000, or one-tenth of his 2002 base salary, for his helmet-led hit on Seahawks wide receiver Darrell Jackson during last Sunday's loss to Seattle.
