Eagles' Jeffery cleared for contact

Philadelphia Eagles head coach Doug Pederson announced on Wednesday that receiver Alshon Jeffery has been cleared for contact.

The wideout underwent rotator cuff surgery in February and missed the first three games of the 2018 season.

Pederson said the team is excited to get Jeffery back, but a final decision on his availability for Week 4 won't be made until later in the week.

Jeffery's nine receiving touchdowns led the Eagles last year, and he added 57 catches for 789 yards. Zach Ertz and Nelson Agholor have been the Eagles' primary pass-catchers through four games in 2018.

Philadelphia is getting closer to full strength with quarterback Carson Wentz back in the fold and running backs Jay Ajayi and Darren Sproles likely returning to practice this week.
