That means Jackson will miss each of the next two games (vs. DET, at GB) with the Birds facing the Packers on Thursday night in Week 4.

While the timetable remains TBD, my understanding is #Eagles WR DeSean Jackson isn't expected to play Sunday against the #Lions because of his groin injury and a quick turnaround to Thursday night game vs. #Packers will make that tough, too. Less speed on the field.

The 33-year-old speedster logged eight receptions for 154 yards and two touchdowns in Philadelphia’s Week 1 victory.

His deep threat presence will be missed.
