The Philadelphia Eagles were getting some long-awaited help at the wide receiver position for Sunday's showdown against the Chicago Bears, as Doug Pederson and Co. were set to welcome the return of DeSean Jackson.

Jackson had been sidelined since the first week of September with an abdominal injury, but the speedy deep threat has reportedly suffered another knock early on in today's game.

It has not yet been disclosed if the injury is related to his abdomen, but it was significant enough to force him to Philly's locker room.

This is simply the last thing that the Eagles and their fans needed to see materialize, as their passing game has been alarmingly bleak in recent weeks. It was evidently lacking a home run threat, which Jackson obviously personifies at an elite level.

Updates indicate that Jackson has returned to Philadelphia's sideline after being looked at, but he has not yet checked back into the game.

This is a developing story and we will provide further updates as soon as they are made available.
