Wednesday morning, fellow Hall of Famer Eric Dickerson tweeted his support before the surgery.
Respectfully requesting prayers for my good friend @ProFootballHOF Ricky Jackson of the @Saints. He’s having brain surgery this morning. Ricky will overcome this adversity and prevail. We declare this victory in God’s name 🙏🙏 Blessings my brother!
