Doug Pederson says Malik Jackson has a significant injury and it’s unclear if he’ll be able to return in 2019

Doug Pederson was the bearer of bad news during his Monday press conference when he announced that the foot injury suffered by Eagles defensive tackle Malik Jackson in Week 1 is “significant.”

“We’re still waiting on a few more test results with him but it’s a significant injury that’s going to require some time.”

When asked if it’s possible that Jackson returns at some point this season, Pederson was noncommittal.

“Yeah, until we find out more, I really can’t answer that right at this time.
