Washington Redskins receiver DeSean Jackson says he expects to play Sunday in his much-anticipated return to Philadelphia.
Jackson has a Grade 1 sprain of the AC joint in his left shoulder from the Redskins' win over Jacksonville, but he said Wednesday that the swelling and soreness have gone down and he's getting back to full strength and full motion in the arm.
The three-time Pro Bowl wideout was abruptly cut by the Eagles in late March and signed by the Redskins a few days later.
Said Jackson: ''I don't plan on missing this game.''
