EAGLES TYREE JACKSON SUFFERS A FRACTURED BONE IN HIS BACK AT PRACTICE!

 

Eagles training camp star Tyree Jackson suffered a fracture in his back on Tuesday.

While the QB-turned-TE won’t need surgery, he is expected to miss 8-10 weeks.

The injury happened late in Tuesday’s joint practice against the Patriots. Jackson leaped in the air at the back of the end zone to haul in a pass but landed squarely on his back and was clearly in pain. While Jackson didn’t even take a trip to the medical tent, he was hurting.

This is an unfortunate turn of events for the 23-year-old who had been having an excellent summer. Jackson (6-7, 249 pounds) had been pushing very hard for a roster spot.

This leaves the Eagles with three options for when they finalize their 53-man roster:

1. Put Jackson on IR, which means he would miss the entire 2021 season.
