DJax is back! Oft-injured Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeSean Jackson returned from IR in Week 16 and made an immediate impact. He caught a pass from Jalen Hurts and blew past the Dallas Cowboys defense en route to the score. It is Jackson’s first touchdown since Week 1 of the 2019 season.

Jackson broke his ankle on October 22 and had been sidelined ever since. Hurts replaced Carson Wentz as the Eagles quarterback and suddenly he has a speedy deep threat in Jackson. The Eagles have a lot of work to do if they want to win the NFC East, but their situation is improving considerably in Week 16.
