Aug 29, 2018 9:02 AM

Alshon Jeffery is expected to miss at least the first two weeks of the season, but the Philadelphia Eagles will activate him to the roster with optimism he could be back by Week 3, according to sources.

While speaking with the media, Doug Pederson remained noncommittal about the wide receiver's status.

Jeffery underwent shoulder surgery in February following Philadelpha's Super Bowl victory.

If Jeffery remained on the PUP list, he'd be forced to miss the first six games of the season.

Andrew Luck Misses Practice With Foot Injury

Aug 28, 2018 8:09 AM

Andrew Luck didn't practice Monday because of a "minor" foot injury suffered in Saturday's preseason game.

Frank Reich said Luck could practice on Tuesday and he'd be ready to go if the season started this weekend.

The Indianapolis Colts wrap up the preseason on Thursday, but it had already been determined that Luck would sit the contest out.

Luck suffered the injury when he scrambled for 15 yards before being caught from behind in the second quarter in the team's third preseason game against the San Francisco 49ers.

"Really, once you look back at that play, you're at the point of no return once you take it up inside," Reich said. "If you're going toward the boundary, that's one thing -- you can protect yourself. But once you kind of take it up the middle and there's a guy chasing you from behind, you're kind of committed to go finish that thing out. I think it was the right decision."
