The Facts: A source close to the situation confirmed an NFL.com report Wednesday that Jeffery has undergone surgery to repair his right rotator cuff. The source said the goal is for Jeffery to be ready for the 2018 regular season, though he could return during the preseason if all goes well.

Diehards Line:So wrote Daily News staffer Les Bowen, who added Jeffery, 28, did not experience significant discomfort during the season or the three-game postseason, in which the wideout caught 12 passes for 219 yards and three touchdowns, including a spectacular 34-yard score from Nick Foles in the Super Bowl. Jeffery was injured on the first weekend of training camp, but ultimately was able to play every game of the 2017 season, catching 57 passes for 789 yards and nine touchdowns. He played 82 percent of the Eagles’ offensive snaps. Jeffery came to the Eagles last spring on a one-year free-agent contract and, in December, signed a four-year extension that could be worth as much as $52 million.
