In a team that sails as the NFC’s East leader barely in a campaign that injuries have plagued its attack, Corey Ballentine got involved late in the play with the helmet facing forward. DeSean Jackson, who already had the official down, on a punt return in the fourth quarter of Thursday night’s game. The blow from the safety, added to that of Kaden Smith believing that the play was still in force, was punished after causing the wide receiver an injury to the lower part of the body, he announced Doug Pederson.
Jackson, who was out for three weeks with the Eagles with a hamstring injury and has only played 12 games since 2017, received the medical verdict: ankle injury, supported by this Friday’s MRI scan, and that It will make him miss “significant time,” Pederson said, according to the Eagles’ official website.
“The Eagles have a deep receiving corps with seven players on the active roster, not including the rookie sprinter. Jalen Reagor, who is on injured reserve with a thumb injury. However, the Eagles had Jackson early in the game. It was his first performance since Week 3 against the Bengals, where he suffered a hamstring injury, ”said the hometown strategist at Lincoln Financial Field.
Just as Pederson pointed out, Jackson has not been very involved in the attack activity. Something that is not only typical of the position. The Eagles added seven players out due to injury for the game against the Giants, of which five belong to attack. Tigh end Zach Ertz, for example, will return through Week 11. Dallas Goedert, TE2, is also inactive through Week 10, the team awaits.
Pederson: Wentz, “leader of the Eagles”
The Eagles, of course, have been caught between injuries. His quarterback, resentful of offensive line fouls, has had the least accurate season of his career. Completing just 58.6% of his passes, Wentz has 10 interceptions for 10 touchdowns, as well as 28 sacks.
Wentz helped the Eagles win with a final offensive drive in which he completed the 18-yard pass to Boston Scott for a touchdown with 0:46 to play. Pederson recalled his confidence in Wentz: “He’s the leader of our team for a reason and they saw him tonight, leading our team to two late-game touchdowns.”
