If you blinked at any point during the first quarter of Sunday’s 22-14 Eagles victory over the Bears, you likely missed DeSean Jackson’s grand return to the field after a six-week absence. The Birds’ lone speed threat and most dynamic playmaker was on the field for the length of time it takes to make and prepare a piece of lightly burned toast. He played four snaps and caught just one ball for five yards before leaving the field with an aggravation of his core muscle injury.
On the 94 WIP Morning Show Monday, Pederson once again sounded optimistic that Jackson could play in two weeks against the New England Patriots, after the team’s bye.
