Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeSean Jackson expects to be ready to play if his team advances to the divisional round of the playoffs, a source told Tim McManus of ESPN.

Jackson is currently on injured reserve due to an abdominal injury and wouldn't be eligible for the wild-card round.

After beating the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday, the Eagles can clinch the NFC East and a postseason berth with a win in their regular-season finale against the New York Giants.

Jackson's only suited up for three games in his first campaign back in Philadelphia. He caught eight passes for 154 yards and two touchdowns in Week 1 but barely saw the field during his other two appearances.

The Eagles' receiving corps has been beset by injuries this year. Alshon Jeffery is out for the season with a foot injury and Nelson Agholor has missed the last three games with a knee ailment.
