Eagles’ Jeffery (foot) out for rest of season
Eagles receiver Alshon Jeffery will miss the rest of the season with a “significant” foot injury, a source confirmed to ESPN.
Jeffery was taken to the locker room on a cart during the second quarter of Monday’s 23-17 win over the Giants. He was not contacted on the play, but left the field limping entering the medical tent.
With Nelson Agholor still dealing with a knee injury, the Eagles are expected to make a move at receiver in the near future.
Also, right tackle Lane Johnson is “weekto-week” with an ankle injury.
