Philadelphia Eagles head coach Doug Pederson is "optimistic" wide receiver DeSean Jackson (abdomen) will play Week 9 against the Chicago Bears on Sunday.
What It Means:
Jackson returned to practice this week after being sidelined since Week 2. If he plays on Sunday, Mack Hollins will likely be bumped out of three-wide sets. Jackson caught 8 passes for 154 yards and 2 touchdowns on 9 targets in the Eagles' opener.
