Alshon Jeffery Was a Full Participant at Eagles Practice in Encouraging Sign for Thursday Night
By Daniel Marcillo
It's about time there's been some positive news on the injury front for Philadelphia.
The Eagles and Carson Wentz have to be pleased with Alshon Jeffery returning to practice and without any restrictions. This could lead to his return to the field for Thursday night's game against the Green Bay Packers.

They certainly need to have Jeffery back in the lineup as the offense was very stagnant without him and DeSean Jackson in Sunday's loss against the Lions. Jeffery suffered his calf injury during the Eagles' Week 2 matchup against the Atlanta Falcons.
The veteran wideout has only five receptions for 49 yards and one score on the season, but he's always a big-play threat whenever he is on the field, which is what the Eagles are desperately in need of at this point.

The Thursday night game has almost turned in to a must-win contest on the road. Philly simply cannot fall to 1-3 while the Dallas Cowboys are off to a 3-0 start.
