DeSean Jackson reportedly could miss 3-4 weeks with finger injury

DeSean Jackson has a finger injury that could cause him to miss time, according to a report.

Jackson suffered a fractured ring finger during Philadelphia Eagles practice on Tuesday. NFL Media’s Ian Rapoport said at the time that Jackson was not expected to miss any time due to the injury.

ESPN’s Josina Anderson says Jackson was told the injury is typically 3-4 weeks. Jackson reportedly will try a custom splint and decide whether he can return before that timetable.
