Eagles wide receiver Alshon Jeffery passes physical, off PUP list

Eagles wide receiver Alshon Jeffery passed his physical on Friday and was activated off the physically-unable-to-perform (PUP) list, allowing Jeffery to return to the practice.

Jeffery has been out the entire offseason after undergoing rotator cuff surgery. ESPN reported earlier this week that Jeffery will miss at least the first two weeks of the season, although coach Doug Pederson continues to say that Jeffery is day-to-day. Considering Jeffery has not yet practiced, it would seem unrealistic to expect him in a game on Thursday.

However, his passed physical should be considered a positive. If the Eagles put Jeffery on the in-season PUP list, he would have been out at least six weeks.
