What does the future hold for Alshon Jeffery and the Eagles’ wide receiver position?

The Philadelphia Eagles won’t have Alshon Jeffery for the rest of the 2019 season after placing him on injured reserve. Jeffrey’s Lisfranc injury — which Doug Pederson confirmed will require surgery — potentially might impact his availability next year as well.

The Inquirer’s Jeff McLane reports that Jeffery’s recovery “should take about nine months.” Assuming that timetable holds true, Jeffery could conceivably be on the field in September 2020. But one must wonder if it’ll take even longer for Jeffery to return. It might not be an apples-to-apples comparison but Jalen Mills suffered a foot injury in October 2018 and wasn’t able to play until 12 months later.
