Source - Patriots reacquire CB J.C. Jackson from Chargers - ESPN

The New England Patriots have agreed to a trade with the Los Angeles Chargers for cornerback J.C. Jackson, a source told ESPN's Mike Reiss.

Jackson, who began his career with the Patriots, signed a five-year, $82.5 million contract with the Chargers last offseason. He was inactive in Week 3 against the Minnesota Vikings, however, and although active for the Chargers' Week 4 victory over the Las Vegas Raiders, he didn't play a snap.

Jackson said last week he was «confused» by his Week 3 benching.

Promising Patriots rookie cornerback Christian Gonzalez suffered a shoulder injury in New England's 38-3 loss to the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday. A source told ESPN's Adam Schefter that Gonzalez has a torn labrum and is out indefinitely.
