DeSean Jackson expected to play vs. Bears despite being listed as questionable

The Philadelphia Eagles have waited six extremely long weeks, but according to Adam Schefter of ESPN.com, DeSean Jackson is expected to play against the Chicago Bears despite being listed as questionable on the final injury report of the week.

On Friday, Jackson made it clear that he planned to play after leaving the Eagles Week 2 loss in Atlanta after a handful of plays. Jackson was initially diagnosed with an abdominal strain, although some critics believed he suffered a hernia injury and should have had surgery.

Without Jackson, the Eagles vertical passing offense has come to a halt, with Carson Wentz averaging under 10 yards per completion without him.

The Eagles will also have Miles Sanders and Darren Sproles available, giving Philadelphia health at the skill positions for the first time since week one.
