The Eagles may choose to be cautious with Jackson, considering the team plays twice in the next 11 days, including a huge road contest against the Green Bay Packers on Thursday Night Football.

DeSean Jackson was at the practice facility today, walking OK. Told he had an MRI this morning. Doesn’t appear to be a long-term injury.
