Todd Bowles, Jets ‘counting on’ facing Redskins’ DeSean Jackson

The Jets expect to see Redskins wide receiver DeSean Jackson on the field Sunday at MetLife Stadium.

Jackson has missed the past four games with a left hamstring injury. He practiced on a limited basis Wednesday, but he did that last week and did not play against the Falcons.

“We’re counting on him to play,” Jets coach Todd Bowles said. “He’s been practicing for two weeks now. I’m pretty sure he’ll come out ready to play. We’re expecting all their guys to play, and then if they don’t play on Sunday that’s not going to change what we do.
