Alshon Jeffery has returned to Eagles practice, but it’s currently unknown if Philadelphia’s star wide receiver will be available on Sunday against the Giants. There’s been no official confirmation on Jeffery and he’s been close twice in the past three weeks but other ailments held him back.
During his Thursday zoom meeting with the media, rookie wide receiver Jalen Reagor spoke on Jeffery playing the role of ‘uncle’ and ‘mentor’ this season. During his statement, Reagor appeared to confirm that Jeffery would be making his season debut.
Jalen Reagor says Alshon Jeffery texted him the day he was drafted and has been helping him every day since. "We are getting a great player back" #Eagles

Jeffery adds another dimension to the Eagles offense and he really clicks with Carson Wentz when the big play is needed.
In their last 11 full games together, the Eagles are 8-3, with Jeffery catching 55 balls for 610 yards and five touchdowns. Wentz has completed 66% of passes to Jeffery, for 240 yards, 20 touchdowns to four interceptions, and a passer rating of 100.4.
