The Philadelphia Eagles control their own destiny in the race for an NFC title and home field in the Wild Card round of the playoffs.
The Eagles agenda is simple, win the next four divisional games, including the blockbuster at home against Dallas in two-weeks and they’re in the tournament. Getting into the playoffs has its advantages, especially if a healthy DeSean Jackson can return just in time for a Wild Card matchup against the Niners or Seahawks.
Jackson suffered a torn abdominal muscle during the Eagles win against the Chicago Bears and was placed on injured reserve after having surgery. With a six-week timetable for recovery, the Wild Card round was Jackson’s target return date.
In a video posted by ABC’s Jeff Skversky via Jackson’s Instagram story, the Eagles star updated his rehab and looks strong with a month out of his possible return.
Jackson originally declined surgery after suffering an abdominal strain in Week 2 against the Atlanta Falcons and Eagles fans were tormented for weeks about his possible return date.
With the surgery now complete and Jackson having the opportunity to possibly return for a playoff run, things could start to look up for the Eagles, they just have to get through the next month.
