Eagles

DeSean Jackson, out since Week 1 with an abdomen injury, is feeling a lot better and the hope is that he can return for the Eagles Sunday night in Dallas, sources tell NBC10's John Clark.

Jackson is not yet 100 percent. He will need to make it through practice this week and avoid a setback, but if he can, the hope is that the Eagles will have their deep threat back for a crucial midseason NFC East game between 3-3 teams.

In his lone game this season, Jackson caught 8 of 9 targets for 154 yards and two touchdowns. He still has more receiving yards than half of the Eagles' pass-catchers.

The Eagles and Cowboys are tied atop the division at 3-3. Both teams lost on Sunday, with the Cowboys suffering a stunning defeat to the previously winless Jets.

The Eagles lost both games to Dallas last season. This is the Eagles' only division game between Week 7 and Week 14.
