Eagles Injury Update Report: Jeffrey & Jackson Could Miss Two Games
Philadelphia’s offense might be significantly diminished for the next two games, as injury updates on DeSean Jackson and Alshon Jeffery don’t look promising. The wideouts both sustained injuries during Sunday’s 24-20 loss to the Falcons.
Jeffrey’s status for Week 3 against Detroit and Week 4 against Green Bay is “in doubt” according to NFL.com’s Ian Rapoport.
#Eagles WR Alshon Jeffery is dealing with a calf strain, source said, following Sunday night football. It’s not major, but with two games in 10 days, the timing is bad. His status for those is in some doubt.

While it looks like the abdominal strain Jackson suffered last Sunday could sideline him for about two weeks according to ESPN’s Tim McManus.

The Eagles play two games in the next 10 days. They’ll face the Lions at home on Sunday and the Packers at Lambeau on Thursday.
Currently 1-1, quarterback Carson Wentz still has Zach Ertz, however, if the Eagles offense is weakened for too long there could be cause for alarm.
