Eagles Insider Dave Spadaro provided an official report from the team regarding the status of wide receiver DeSean Jackson.

As I reported on the TV broadcast a moment ago: @DeSeanJackson11 “will play” on September 8 against Washington. The injury he suffered during the week of practice to his left ring finger is “minor,” so ignore any other reports out there. DJack is going to be just fine.

Jackson has a "small fracture," in his left ring finger, per Spadaro, but he will play against Washington on September 8 in the regular-season opener.

There's "no reason for concern," per Spadaro.

Jackson and the starters have Thursday night off as the preseason comes to a close against the New York Jets. Clayton Thorson started at quarterback.
