Report: DeSean Jackson could miss a few more weeks with abdominal injury

The Philadelphia Eagles were hopeful that DeSean Jackson could return to the lineup this week against the Minnesota Vikings, but according to a report from NBC’s John Clark, the star wideout could be on the mend even longer. Clark is reporting that Jackson could be out for two or three more weeks, putting his status for Dallas and Buffalo in jeopardy.
