Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Vincent Jackson will play against the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday. Jackson is dealing with a knee injury that had him listed as questionable on the official injury report on Friday, but he is now active.

Jackson managed to practice on Thursday and Friday, and many expected Jackson would be available for Sunday’s game.
Jackson hasn't been as productive as he's used to this year. He's caught just 21 of the 41 passes thrown his way for 319 yards and a pair of touchdowns. He's second on the team behind Mike Evans, who had 662 yards. He has been banged up for much of the season, though, and has played in just six games this year. His best game was against the Carolina Panthers, when he caught 10 of 15 passes for 147 yards and a touchdown.
He's been targeted twice over his last two appearances. The last game he played was against Washington on Oct. 25, where he caught one pass for 13 yards. Since then, he's been out with injury. But he'll be in action for Jameis Winston as the 4-5 Buccaneers try and pick up their second consecutive win against the Eagles on Sunday.
