The other “QB” who was reallllly impressive at Eagles-Patriots practice is now a TE in former QB Tyree Jackson. He got injured yesterday on a great catch in back of end zone and will likely miss some time but he can be a serious mismatch if developed: 6-8, 245, very athletic.

Former quarterback turned tight end Tyree Jackson was blazing towards a roster spot, but his transition could be in jeopardy due to an injury.
Jay Glazer of Fox Sports is reporting that Jackson has made a lasting impression with his physical attributes, but he’ll likely miss time with an injury suffered during the Eagles joint practice sessions with the Patriots.
Jeff McLane of The Inquirer confirmed the report via Twitter.
Jackson suffered the injury Tuesday when he made a leaping catch, but landed on his back. He was down for a spell, but did return. Was having a solid camp after moving from QB to TE just 8 months ago. https://t.co/YWz8HVPBr5

In Philadelphia’s preseason opener against the Steelers, Jackson logged 20 snaps on offense and two on special teams, catching two passes for 32 yards in the final two minutes of the first half.
