In a move that could allow some healing after a difficult week, the Philadelphia Eagles have announced discipline for DeSean Jackson after his comments on Instagram last weekend.

Jackson has come under fire and was forced to apologize and state that he has no hatred toward the Jewish community and issued two separate statements of apology with “a promise to do better” after he posted an anti-Semitic message that he attributed to Adolf Hitler on Instagram while also reposting information from Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan.

The Eagles called Jackson’s posts “offensive, harmful and absolutely appalling” and said the team would take “appropriate action.” Both team owner Jeffrey Lurie and general manager Howie Roseman are Jewish.

Patriots star wideout Julian Edelman also reached out to Jackson recently and the two plan on working together to help educate each other.
