Fantasy Impact:

“He’s (Jackson) getting close,” Pederson said. “We activated it for that reason, we feel like he is close. He was able to get some snaps in yesterday with the offense, and we’ll integrate him more today and just see where he’s at.” Jackson has been sidelined since Week 7's win over the Giants with a non-displaced fracture in his right ankle. The 34-year-old WR is practicing Thursday and will look to ramp up his activity throughout the week. If activated, Jackson would give the Eagles wideout corps a boost and provide rookie QB Jalen Hurts another offensive weapon.
