DeSean Jackson Expected to Return for Eagles in Week 9
By Karl Rasmussen
The Eagles reacquisition of DeSean Jackson has yet to pay dividends, though that's due to the 32-year-old being sidelined since Week 1 with a small abdominal tear.
Jackpot hasn't played since Sept. 8, but the veteran wideout is reportedly expected to suit up Sunday against the Bears.
#Eagles WR DeSean Jackson, who has not played since Week 1 due to a abdominal injury, is expected to suit up and play vs. the #Bears, per @AdamSchefter. Big boost for Carson Wentz and that offense.

Jackson only has one game under his belt this season, though he impressed in his return to Philly, racking up eight receptions and 154 yards to go with a pair of touchdowns.
That's the type of performance Eagles fans will be clamoring for tomorrow against the Bears, whose defense hasn't been as formidable as usual of late.
Eagles’ WR DeSean Jackson, listed as questionable with an abdomen injury, is expected to play Sunday vs. the Bears, per source. Eagles also get back RB Darren Sproles and Miles Sanders.

Carson Wentz will certainly be pleased to have the experienced wideout in the mix, as he's been throwing to a depleted receiving corps recently. Adding Jackson to the mix can unlock a new element for this offense, as was demonstrated in their Week 1 win over Washington.
