Eagles’ WR DeSean Jackson to return for Thursday night’s game against the Giants

In news that had been expected, Adam Schefter is reporting that Eagles star wide receiver DeSean Jackson is expected to return to the lineup in Philadelphia’s Thursday night football matchup against the New York Giants.

Jackson has been dealing with a hamstring injury and has been working to return to the lineup since Week 3’s tie against the Bengals. With the Eagles facing Baltimore on Sunday and the Giants on the short week, Jackson probably could have played on Sunday but Philadelphia didn’t want to risk re-injuring him.
