The Philadelphia Eagles could get one of their biggest stars at wide receiver back into the lineup, while Alshon Jeffery’s status is starting to become a concern. On Friday during his zoom meeting with the media, head coach Doug Pederson confirmed that DeSean is on track to play against Baltimore, while Alshon Jeffery may need another week.
Doug Pederson on DeSean Jackson and Alshon Jeffery's availability for Sunday: Jackson had a good practice Thurs. Possibility he'll play Sunday. Jeffery just started taking team reps this week. Want to get him acclimated. #Eagles

Jackson has been dealing with a hamstring injury and his been working to return to the lineup, while Jeffery’s absence is more of a mystery, seeing as how the Eagles didn’t put the veteran wideout on the PUP list, with the expectation that he would have made his season debut by now.
With Jeffery taking up a roster spot early on this season, the Eagles have moved on from players like Sidney Jones, Rasul Douglas, Casey Toohill, and Noah Togiai.
