I am terrible at remembering friends’ birthdays. One thing that would help me be less terrible at remembering friends’ birthdays is if more of my friends were like DeSean Jackson and took the initiative to wish themselves a happy birthday on Instagram.

“Cake day Lik Waaaaaaat !!” Jackson, who turns 28, wrote Monday. “Happy born Day 2 Myself !! Don’t worry bout that injury YALL ima Bounce bac !! Blessed it’s nothin serious .. No broke Bones .. Ima b bac out there fightin !! No quit In Me !!”

Jackson, who reportedly celebrated Friday with singer Ashanti and others at STK, received an early birthday present Sunday after X-rays revealed no further damage to his right leg. Jackson suffered a fibula contusion in the third quarter and was forced to leave the Redskins’ loss to the Colts.

Jackson also received an elaborate custom cake in the shape of his Redskins jersey. Cake day, indeed.

Celebrating 28 years of Life !!!! Blessed to be able to continue to be Blessed with this Lifestyle !! Ima live it up !! Shoutout @Pro_Cakes for my birthday cake”!!! #0ne0fone

Meanwhile, Jackson’s mom wanted to make sure that her son’s employer knew it was DeSean’s big day.

The Redskins were all over it. They’re better at remembering birthdays than I am.
