DeSean Jackson

DeSean Jackson is expected to resume practicing if the Eagles advance to the Divisional round of the playoffs.

Fantasy Impact

First, the Eagles need to make the playoffs by beating the Giants Week 17. They would then need to take on the and defeat the 49ers or Seahawks in Philadelphia for the Wild Card round before moving on to a road game in the Divisional round. If they are able to make it that far, Jackson could return for an Eagles team that is in dire need of offensive playmakers.

The Eagles placed DeSean Jackson (core) on injured reserve.

This basically ends the season for the 32-year-old wideout. Jackson played in just one full game this year and went 8/154/2 back in Week 1. He'll likely be back with Philadelphia in 2020.

Eagles wide receiver DeSean Jackson, who has missed most of the season with an abdominal injury but attempted to return in Week 9 against the Chicago Bears, is having surgery tomorrow to repair his core muscle injury and could miss the rest of the season, according to NFL insider Ian Rapoport. Eagles beat reporter John Clark adds that Jackson tore the abdominal muscle completely off the bone yesterday and is expected to miss at least 4-6 weeks.

Fantasy Impact

While this injury is worse than the one Jackson initially suffered in Week 2, the timetable that Clark shared would mean that he might be able to return before the end of the regular season. For fantasy purposes, however, this is disappointing news right when it looked like Jackson was close to returning.

DeSean Jackson exited Sunday's game against the Bears with an injury. His status is questionable to return.

Fantasy Impact

Jackson appears to have re-injured his abdomen, which is what had sidelined him for most of this season. He lasted one series and had one catch before his exit. It's unclear what his status is for the remainder of the game against the Bears, much less next week.

Philadelphia Eagles Star wide receiver DeSean Jackson is set to make his return this afternoon against the Chicago Bears.

Fantasy Impact

This is big news for a Philadelphia Eagles offense that was noticeably less explosive with Jackson on the sidelines. Jackson should be heavily involved in the offense in his return, even if he sees less snaps than usual. Fire him up as an upside WR2 with a WR3 floor.
