Report: Eagles WR Jackson out two weeks

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeSean Jackson is expected to miss two weeks because of an abdominal strain, ESPN reported Tuesday.

Jackson opted against one doctor's recommendation of surgery, which would have kept Jackson on the sideline for about six weeks, according to an ESPN source.

The 32-year-old Jackson was injured in the first half of Sunday's loss at the Atlanta Falcons. He did not make a catch in that game after snagging eight passes for 154 yards and two touchdowns in the season-opening victory over the Washington Redskins.

The Eagles brought back Jackson via trade with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in March. A second-round pick by Philadelphia in 2008, Jackson spent six years with the Eagles (2008-13), catching 356 passes for 6,117 yards and 32 touchdowns in 87 games.

Philadelphia wide receiver Alshon Jeffery could also miss Sunday's game against the Detroit Lions after leaving last week's game with a calf injury.
