Injuries are back for Philadelphia Eagles open catcher DeSean Jackson, who was diagnosed with détente in the hamr tendon after leaving Sunday’s game against the Cincinnati Bengals in the first half, according to John Clark of NBC Sports Philadelphia.
Clark noticed that the injury is not considered serious. Jackson ruled for the rest of the game.
Jackson started this season slowly with 110 yards in eight receptions in two games. He returned to the Eagles last year when he signed a three-year contract. Triple Pro Bowler hoped to take a deep risk to the offense for Quarterback Carson Wentz.
After an impressive week with 1. 54 yards and two touchdowns in eight receptions against Washington last year, Jackson suffered an abdominal tear the following week and never recovered. He played four offensive shots in Week Nine against the Chicago Bears, but his season ended on November 5 when he underwent central muscle surgery.
The Eagles have taken steps to deal with their receiver body this off-season. Jalen Reagor, John Hightower and Quez Watkins were written. Reagor has played a game and lately is absent with a torn thumb ligament, while Watkins is in the injured reserve.
Injuries have been a challenge for Jackson in recent years. The 33-year-old has played a full schedule of 16 games since 2013 and has missed at least 4 games in 3 of the last five seasons.
Because Jackson is healthy, he has the speed and experience to be Philadelphia’s number one. However, health is the recurring problem.
