Washington Redskins wide receiver DeSean Jackson took part in drills at practice Wednesday for the first time since injuring his hamstring on Sept. 13.

Jackson will almost certainly be listed as a limited participant. The Redskins sorely miss his ability to take the top off a defense, but they understand hamstring injuries are finicky and easy to re-injure.

Though this is a positive step, Jackson's status for the Redskins' Week 5 game against the Atlanta Falcons remains in doubt.
