Eagles Rumors: Alshon Jeffery's Status for Weeks 3, 4 in Doubt with Calf Injury

The Philadelphia Eagles may be without top wideout Alshon Jeffery for their next two games as he recovers from a calf strain suffered during his team's 24-20 road loss to the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. 

Philadelphia hosts the Detroit Lions on Sunday before visiting the Green Bay Packers on Thursday, Sept. 26.

Per Pro Football Reference, Jeffery only played six snaps on Sunday and did not see a target. He left the game in the second quarter and did not return.

The Eagles suffered injuries to numerous offensive players outside Jeffery on Sunday. Per Zack Rosenblatt of NJ.com, wideout DeSean Jackson and running back Corey Clement left with groin and shoulder ailments, respectively. Tight end Dallas Goedert didn't take the field with a calf injury.

Quarterback Carson Wentz, wide receiver Nelson Agholor and center Jason Kelce left but returned to the game.

Somehow, the Eagles' offense stayed afloat despite an ugly first half where they scored six points and amassed 83 yards from scrimmage.

They scored a go-ahead touchdown with 3:13 remaining before the Falcons quickly responded with a score of their own. Philadelphia got as far as the Falcons' nine-yard line in response but turned the ball over on downs.

Although Jeffery may miss two games, the Eagles could be getting a pass-catching reinforcement back in Jackson, who is "hopeful" to play Sunday per John Clark of NBC Sports Philadelphia.

Regardless of whether Jackson returns, look for rookie wideout J.J. Arcega-Whiteside to see more snaps. Per Adam Levitan of Establish the Run, the second-round pick out of Stanford was on the field for 74 of his team's 80 offensive plays on Sunday. He only had one catch for four yards, but the 6'2", 225-pound wideout presents another big target for Wentz to utilize.

Philadelphia kicks off against Detroit on Sunday at 1 p.m. ET and is currently a seven-point favorite, per Caesars.
