Alshon Jeffery Expected to Miss 1st 2 Games of Season Due to Shoulder Injury

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Alshon Jeffery will reportedly miss at least the first two games of the regular season as he continues to recover from offseason shoulder surgery, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter and Chris Mortensen.

The good news for the Eagles is that Jeffery will avoid being placed on the physically unable to perform list, which would have cost him the first six games of the season.

The Eagles open their season Sept. 6 against the Atlanta Falcons before traveling to Florida for a showdown with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 2.
