Redskins WR DeSean Jackson (hamstring) was non-committal on his Week 5 availability after returning to a limited practice on Wednesday.  "As long as I can gradually get better, it's possible," D-Jax said.  "I don't really have that pain anymore. Just getting acclimated, getting that flow, getting that blood moving back in that area. ... It can't just happen in one day, it's my first day back out there. I definitely didn't try to push it to that limit. Day by day I'll be able to do more and do more reps."  We'll have another update on Jackson after Thursday's practice.

Washington WR DeSean Jackson is expected to miss 3-4 weeks with a strained hamstring. D-Jax suffered the injury early in Week 1 and was held off the stat sheet.
