Washington wide receiver DeSean Jackson is officially listed as questionable for Sunday. Jackson is dealing with a shoulder injury that may keep him out of the team's Week 3 game against the Philadelphia Eagles, Jackson's old team. He missed practice on both Wednesday and Thursday but returned in a limited fashion on Friday.
DeSean Jackson injury update: Washington WR questionable; fantasy status shaky

Jackson's injury forced him out of the team's Week 2 game against the Jacksonville Jaguars. His lack of practice time doesn't mean much when it comes to him being prepared, but it does make it seem unlikely that he'll be able to go for this game. He wants to play against his old team, but the decision won't be his to make in the end. It's hard to imagine Washington risking further injury by playing him before he's ready.
Fantasy Impact: Fantasy owners should always start Jackson when he’s going to play, but as far as the 50-percent chance of playing that’s supposed to come from the questionable designation is concerned, that sounds unlikely. Fantasy owners can certainly wait until the last minute to see if any news comes out but he is a legitimate game-time decision this week.
