NFL Rumors: Eagles Fear DeSean Jackson Suffered High Ankle Sprain vs. Giants

The Eagles believe wide receiver DeSean Jackson suffered a high ankle sprain in Thursday night's win over the Giants, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter.

Jackson will undergo an MRI on Friday to see if he needs surgery, reports Schefter. The 33-year-old exited the game late in the fourth quarter after the Eagles sent him out for his first punt return. He took an illegal hit from the Giants' Corey Ballentine and his leg twisted under his own weight. Jackson could not put weight on his right leg while trainers helped him off the field.

Thursday night marked Jackson's first game back since Week 3 due to a hamstring injury.
