Alshon Jeffery Won't Play for Eagles vs. Patriots Because of Ankle Injury

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Alshon Jeffery has been ruled out of Sunday's Week 11 game against the New England Patriots because of an ankle injury.

Dave Zangaro of NBC Sports Philadelphia reported the update Friday.

Staying on the field has been an issue at times for Jeffery during his career. He played nine games in 2015 with a variety of injuries, was suspended for four games in 2016 and missed three games last year. He also missed time earlier this season because of a calf injury.

While the South Carolina product has been unable to replicate his statistical impact from when he was on the Chicago Bears and topped 1,100 receiving yards in 2013 and 2014, he helped the Eagles win the Super Bowl in the 2017 season and is still one of their go-to options.
