Eagles WR DeSean Jackson likely to miss remainder of the season

Just as things were looking up for the Philadelphia Eagles, their fortunes heading into the Bye Week have taken a significant turn.

According to Ian Rapoport, WR DeSean Jackson will have surgery that is likely going to end his season.

After a stunning season opener where he recorded 154 yards and a pair of touchdowns, the veteran would then miss the next seven games with an abdominal injury. Details were kept to a minimum and the hope was that he would return again long before the season ends.

Jackson played 4 snaps and caught a single pass before being pulled from the team’s week 9 win over the Chicago Bears as a precaution.
