sporkdevil Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 @caplannfl"for #eagles, out-curtis, jackson, jordan, westbrook."I asked him if it meant practice, or the game, but roto picked it up:"DeSean Jackson-WR- Eagles Dec. 4 - 1:17 pm etDeSean Jackson (concussion) has been formally ruled out for Week 13.Jackson didn't practice at all this week and will target Week 14 to return. It's worth noting that Jason Avant (not Reggie Brown) is listed directly behind D-Jax on the Eagles' depth chart at flanker. If Avant starts, he will be an every-down receiver, kicking into the slot in three-wideout sets. Jeremy Maclin is likely to see most of the deep ball targets Jackson would normally get."This is great news. Jackson is a homerun threat, and our secondary is hot garbage. Might really balance out the game considering the injuries on our side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No need to rush a guy with a concussion back in, especially after what happened to Westbrook. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McMVP Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 Avant and Maclin will be the main WRs...I predict a big game from Avant...We'll probably even see Reggie Brown a little... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sporkdevil Posted December 4, 2009 Author Share Posted December 4, 2009 Avant and Maclin will be the main WRs...I predict a big game from Avant...We'll probably even see Reggie Brown a little...The theory is Brown and Maclin with Avant in the slot. Avant had such a nice game after Jackson went down, I picked him up in FF.But Jackson is a heck of a threat. Some games he has been half your friggin offense. Very glad they aren't rushing him back into action. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very glad they aren't rushing him back into action.Me too - to replace Jackson.He's our 2nd best WR...whether it's the slot or not. Maclin will become that in the future, but Avant is very underrated... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slamee101 Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 It's like Peyton said earlier this week, you knew he couldn't go once you heard it was a concussion. Reid was just playing the "Patriot" games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BirdzEyeView Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 That's great news for us going into Sunday's game...One less "threat" to be concerned about with our pourous secondary.That said, I wish him a healthy return...Concussions aren't anything to play with.
