Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Alshon Jeffery played with cracked ribs in his team's 20-14 defeat Sunday to the New Orleans Saints in the NFC Divisional Round.
According to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport, Eagles offensive tackle Lane Johnson made the revelation to reporters after the game. Jeffery was aware of the injury after undergoing an MRI earlier in the week.
The veteran wideout was partially responsible for one of the game's biggest plays. A Nick Foles pass slipped through his hands late in the fourth quarter, and Saints cornerback Marshon Lattimore intercepted the throw to help New Orleans seal the win.
