The Philadelphia Eagles could be without a key member of their team as they launch their Super Bowl defense.
According to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network, wide receiver Alshon Jeffery, who is currently on the PUP list as he recovers from rotator cuff surgery, may not be ready in time to play in the team’s season opener.
As #Eagles gear up for the season, WR Alshon Jeffery has remained on PUP. Though he’s progressing according to plan, sources say the timing of his rotator cuff surgery — following the Super Bowl win – means there’s a chance he may not be ready for the opener. Could stay on PUP.

Jeffery played through the injury all season and didn’t correct it until after the Super Bowl. He caught nine regular season touchdowns and three more in the playoffs, so the Eagles will not want to be without him for long.
