DeSean Jackson: "I'm gonna play... Definitely"

by JasonB on Dec 8, 2009 3:09 PM EST in Philadelphia Eagles News

On his 97.5 The Fanatic radio show, DeSean Jackson gave his first public comments since sustaining a concussion last week and missing Sunday's game. He sounded very confident that he'll play this weekend against the Giants.

It's going a lot better. Every day it's getting a little better and I'm just ready for the Giants this weekend. It's going to be a big one.

His cohost Harry Mayes asked "Does that mean you're going to play"

Yeah, I'm gonna play man. Definitely. Going through the process of getting cleared but all the tests look good.

Great to Hear

God knows I want him to be safe, but he’ll draw a double team and open up everyone else.

52 also has an extra right arm, what are the odds?

I know that football players are amazing examples of human athleticism but when did they become mutants? Is it the steroids? Its the steroids, isn’t it… in that case, we need more steroids.

I want players who have 4 legs and 2 arms. I want players who have a cannon in their chest.

Let the beasting begin.

And #50 isn't doing squat. On all fours thinking about what could've been!

I'm in a bind with fantasy

Is DJax expected to play his normal role? Or does anyone have info suggesting he may be limited? I also have Avant, but i’m wondering who to go with! My other WR options are very limited and i need to start one of the Eagles!

Well Eagles receivers are hit and miss for fantasy

Cause the ball is spread around and the offense comes from many places. But you should start Djax, at least in my opinion. All he needs is one play to have a good fantasy week, and by looking at this Giants secondary, its very possible.

News to me.

On Jeremy Maclin, who has plantar fasciitis : “Yeah it is [on-going]. It’s a minor thing. It bothered him on the turf yesterday. He’s fine. By the time I’m done being a head coach, I’ll be qualified enough to be a doctor.”
