Eagles wide receiver Alshon Jeffery is expected to miss the first two games of the season as he continues to rehabilitate his shoulder after undergoing surgery following the Eagles' Super Bowl victory in February, ESPN's Adam Schefter and Chris Mortensen report.
Jeffery will be activated to the team's 53-man roster this weekend in hopes that he will be back by Week 3. The 28-year-old is on the team's preseason physically unable to perform (PUP) list but is reportedly recovering well from his spring surgery.
The team doctors, trainers and therapists working with Jeffery have suggested that he miss the first two games of the season so that he can maintain the progress and increase his chances of playing at full capacity once cleared.
