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.
