Eagles News: DeSean Jackson Won't Play vs. Lions with Abdominal Injury

Philadelphia Eagles head coach Doug Pederson said Friday wide receiver DeSean Jackson will not play Sunday versus the Detroit Lions because of an abdominal injury, according to Jeff McLane of the Philadelphia Inquirer.

Jackson exited the Eagles' Week 2 game against the Atlanta Falcons, and ESPN's Tim McManus later reported he was expected to miss two weeks.

Before the start of the regular season, Jackson broke his left ring finger during a workout in late August, but not only did he play Week 1, he thrived, racking up 154 yards and two touchdowns.
