Philadelphia Eagles: 5 most frustrating injuries from 2019 season

1. DeSean Jackson

Bringing back DeSean Jackson for a second stint with the team at a fair price in the offseason seemed like a no brainer for the Eagles at the time when looking at their need for a reliable deep threat.

Right away, Jackson wasted little time making his presence felt in the passing game after torching the Redskins during the first game of the season by catching eight passes for 154 yards to go along with two touchdowns.

But before Philadelphia could even get excited about what the rest of the season would hold for Jackson, the veteran wideout would be forced to leave the team’s Week 2 game against the Atlanta Falcons early, and would basically go on to miss the remainder of the year.

Since Jackson was forced to leave early again down the road when he returned Week 9 in a meeting with the Chicago Bears, and only caught one pass for five yards, it’s difficult to claim he did in fact play another game.

Looking back, Philadelphia fans have plenty of reasons to feel frustrated over Jackson deciding to pass on surgery since his core muscle injury was clearly worse than originally expected, and the team’s current situation at wideout doesn’t help either.

Similar to Jeffery, Jackson is another key decision the Eagles will need to focus on in the offseason when it comes to deciding whether he’s worth another shot in 2020, so this will be worth monitoring over the next few months as well.
