The whispers have been loud all offseason long but the demise of Alshon Jeffery in Philadelphia appears to have been greatly exaggerated.
As the Eagles star, wide receiver rehabs his Lisfranc injury that ended his 2019 season, Dave Spadaro of the teams’ official website provided an update on the status of the former South Carolina Gamecocks legend.
As Spadaro is reporting and the writing has been on the wall for some time now, Jeffery isn’t going anywhere and will play a major role on offense this upcoming season.
The plan is for Alshon Jeffery to be a major part of the offense as he recovers from his Lisfranc injury. He has to complete his rehab, of course, and Jeffery is in the course of doing so. The Eagles have made sure this offseason to get the word out that Jeffery is being counted on and Roseman has had conversations to that extent with having No. 17 in the picture. A healthy and fully focused and hungry Jeffery would be a huge boost for the offense
.Jeffery can be dominant when he’s on and his presence in the red zone would make the Eagles that much more difficult to defend.
Injury-riddled and just not himself this season, Jeffery snagged 43 balls for 490 yards and four touchdowns in 10 games.
Jeffery is due a guaranteed $11.5 million next season after restructuring his contract last fall and will spend the bulk of the offseason and training camp recovering from the Lisfranc surgery on his foot.
