Likely IR bound with ankle sprain Jackson is expected to be placed on injured reserve in the near future after an MRI on Friday confirmed he suffered a high-ankle sprain in Thursday's 22-21 win over the Giants, Joh...
Impact A previous report suggested Jackson might need surgery for his right ankle, but it isn't clear if that's still an option or not. He's expected to miss at least three games, and possibly more, after injuring his ankle in his return to the lineup after missing the Eagles' previous three games with a hamstring strain. John Hightower could now rejoin the starting lineup, especially if Alshon Jeffery (calf/foot) misses more time.

NFL Rumors: Eagles Fear DeSean Jackson Has High Ankle Sprain Jackson suffered the injury in Thursday night's win over the Giants.
OCTOBER 23, 2020 • SI.COM
High ankle sprain feared Jackson is believed to have suffered a high ankle sprain Thursday but is undergoing an MRI to determine whether surgery is necessary, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Impact The 33-year-old returned from a three-game absence and caught three passes for 34 yards and rushed once for 12 yards Thursday against the Giants before suffering the injury while fielding a punt. A high ankle sprain would likely sideline Jackson for at least the next few weeks, but he's apparently not out of the woods for it potentially being a more serious injury.

Will return Thursday Jackson (hamstring) doesn't have a designation for Thursday's game against the Giants.
Impact Jackson wrapped up Week 7 prep Wednesday with a full practice for the first time since Week 3, when he initially strained his hamstring. Elsewhere in the Eagles' receiving corps, Alshon Jeffery (foot/calf) is sitting out again, leaving Jackson, Travis Fulgham, Greg Ward, John Hightower, J.J. Arcega-Whiteside and Quez Watkins as the available healthy wide receivers Thursday.

Trending toward playing Week 7 Coach Doug Pederson said he anticipates Jackson (hamstring) will be able to play Thursday against the Giants, Dave Zangaro of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.
Impact Meanwhile, fellow wideout Alshon Jeffery (foot) is likely to miss the contest. There's a decent chance that the Eagles will officially list Jackson as questionable, but if he's able to suit up Thursday, he may not be in store for a full snap load.
OCTOBER 21, 2020 • ROTOWIRE
Limited Tuesday Jackson (hamstring) was listed as limited on Tuesday's estimated injury report.
Impact The Eagles expect to welcome back Jackson on Thursday against the Giants following a three-game absence to tend to a strained hamstring. Position-mate Alshon Jeffery (foot) continues to log limited sessions, with no indication when he may make his season debut. Wednesday's injury report will provide a sense of the duo's ability to play Week 7, but Travis Fulgham, J.J. Arcega-Whiteside and John Hightower are all healthy in the event one or both of Jackson and Jeffery remain sidelined.

Listed as limited to start week Jackson (hamstring) is listed as a limited participant on Monday's estimated injury report.
Impact The Eagles hope to have Jackson, who has missed the last three weeks due to a lingering hamstring strain, back on the field for Thursday's divisional matchup against the Giants. Beginning the week with at least a limited listing, even if Monday's practice report is only an estimate, puts Jackson on the right track, though he could need to officially go through a full practice session before being cleared to retake the field. Tuesday is expected to bring Philadelphia's highest intensity practice of the week, so how much Jackson is able to do then could go a long way in determining his Week 7 status.

Expected back Week 7 Jackson (hamstring), who has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Ravens, is expected to return to the lineup for the Eagles' Week 7 contest against the Giants, Adam Scheft...
Impact Although Philadelphia is facing a quick turnaround Week 7 with a Thursday night road game at the Giants, the team apparently is optimistic about Jackson's chances of making his first appearance since Sept. 27. Prior to being ruled out for the Week 6 game Friday, the wideout turned in a trio of limited practices this week, with coach Doug Pederson indicating that Jackson looked good during those sessions. The Eagles' highest intensity practice of Week 7 with likely come Tuesday, so if Jackson is able to put in a full workout that day, he should have a good chance at gaining clearance for Thursday.

Out another week Jackson (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against Baltimore, Daniel Gallen of The Harrisburg Patriot-News reports.
Impact Coach Doug Pederson said Jackson looked good at Thursday's practice and could make it back for the Week 6 contest, but it turns out the veteran receiver will be out for at least one more game. Alshon Jeffery (foot) also was ruled out, leaving Travis Fulgham, John Hightower and Greg Ward as the clear leading trio at wide receiver this Sunday. The Eagles have another game coming up a few days later, hosting the Giants on Thursday Night Football in Week 7.

Trending in right direction Coach Doug Pederson said Jackson (hamstring) "had a really good" practice Thursday and could play Sunday against the Ravens, Martin Frank of The Delaware News Journal reports.
Impact The 33-year-old was a limited participant in the first two practices of the week, but he apparently showed enough Thursday for Pederson to express some public optimism about his outlook for Sunday. Jackson could avoid an injury designation this weekend if he's able to put in a full practice Friday, otherwise he may receive the questionable tag.

Limited again Thursday Jackson (hamstring) was limited in practice Thursday.
Impact Jackson looked OK running routes at Thursday's session, per EJ Smith of The Philadelphia Inquirer, yet he didn't do enough to be considered a full participant. Last week, Jackson was listed as LP on each injury report before he was ruled out for a second straight game, meaning he may need to receive an FP on Friday in order to suit up this weekend.
