Jackson has been dealing with a shoulder injury which has limited his preparation for Week 3, but he was able to practice — though not fully — during Friday’s session.
As far as his availability for today’s game against his former team, Redskins head coach Jay Gruden says that they will not risk playing Jackson unless he is 100 percent and he will be evaluated again during pre-game warm ups.
So for those wondering what to do with Jackson in your fantasy football lineup, you will need to wait a little longer because he is going to be a game-time decision.
“He’s gonna be a game-day type deal,” Gruden said, via ESPN 980 Washington. “He wants to go really bad, obviously he’s going back to Philly.”
