Not good.
The Eagles face the Detroit Lions this Sunday and head to Lambeau Field to take on the Green Bay Packers four days later. There’s also the injury to the other starting wide receiver Alshon Jeffery, who is dealing with a calf strain, according to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport. His status for the next two games is in doubt.
#Eagles WR Alshon Jeffery is dealing with a calf strain, source said, following Sunday night football. It’s not major, but with two games in 10 days, the timing is bad. His status for those is in some doubt.

With Jackson out and if Jeffery doesn’t go, that leaves the Eagles with Nelson Agholor, Mack Hollins and rookie second-round pick J.J. Arcega-Whiteside as the team’s top three options at wideout just like it was most of the game Sunday in Atlanta.
