Chargers DB J.C. Jackson out of boot, day-to-day

Prized cornerback J.C. Jackson, part of the high-priced haul for the Los Angeles Chargers in free agency, is no longer in a walking boot and could play Sunday against the Las Vegas Raiders.

Chargers head coach Brandon Staley said Jackson ran Monday and did light work Wednesday, shooting down a report that Jackson was already ruled out for the regular-season opener Sunday.

He had "minor" ankle surgery in New York in Aug.
