Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeSean Jackson looks set to be sidelined for two weeks with an abdominal strain.
According to Tim McManus of ESPN, Jackson is likely to miss games against the Detroit Lions and Green Bay Packers. He could return Oct. 6 against the New York Jets.

The Eagles are not helped by the timing of this injury. They have a short week after the Lions game, as they travel to Green Bay for Thursday night. That quick turnaround could cost fellow receiver Alshon Jeffery the second game as well, severely testing the team’s offensive depth.
Jackson was walking with a limp after Sunday night’s loss. It’s a shame, as he was showing a real connection with QB Carson Wentz following a 154 yard, two touchdown performance in Week 1.
