The Facts: Jeffery admitted to Jenny Vrentas of The MMQB that he is still a few weeks from returning after offseason rotator cuff surgery. Jeffery told Vrentas he has a couple more doctor visits scheduled before he returns. "Some days I feel great, and some days. ... A shoulder injury is pretty tough," he said.
Diehards Line:The receiver's absence was notable in Thursday's win. Nelson Agholor led all Eagles wideouts with an inefficient eight catches for 33 yards, 4.125 yards per catch. Only in a PPR fantasy league does that stat line look OK. The Eagles need Jeffery to return to shift Agholor back to his more natural position in the slot. Agholor played 56 percent (35 snaps) from the slot Thursday night, after earning 83 percent of his playing time there during the 2017 season. Jeffery earned just 57 receptions for 789 yards last season, but his ability to force converge his way helps open up the Philly offense. Sadly, for the Eagles' offense, it appears Jeffery won't return to the flock for at least a couple more weeks.
