NFL-- Chargers CB J.C. Jackson born with a "extra bone in the back of the ankle," which necessitated recent surgery

J.C. Jackson, a cornerback in the 2021 Pro Bowl, agreed to a five-year, $82.5 million deal with the Los Angeles Chargers in March.

However, due to his recovery from ankle surgery, he missed his new team's season debut in Week 1.
