The Philadelphia Eagles missed both Alshon Jeffery and DeSean Jackson in their loss to the Detroit Lions on Sunday, but it looks like they will be getting at least one of the dynamic receivers back for Thursday night’s game against the Green Bay Packers.
Jeffery, who is dealing with a calf injury, was a full participant in the Eagles’ walkthrough on Tuesday. Head coach Doug Pederson said he anticipates him being able to play on Thursday, while Jackson will likely remain out.

Jackson has an abdomen injury.
The 24 points the Eagles scored against Detroit weren’t enough, and Carson Wentz completed just over 52 percent of his passes. He clearly missed Jeffery and Jackson, so Jeffery’s return should give the passing game a nice boost.
