Eric Decker won't play today against the Philadelphia Eagles after the New York Jets receiver suffered a knee injury in a Week 2 win, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.

The injury happened in the fourth quarter of a 20-7 victory against the Indianapolis Colts that improved New York's record to 2-0. Decker tallied eight receptions for 97 yards and a touchdown, but wasn't able to finish the game and instead had an MRI on Tuesday that determined he had a sprained PCL. The injury may only cost Decker one week, according to Rapoport.
Decker was listed as questionable for Week 3 against the Eagles, despite not participating in practice all week. The Eagles enter Week 3 winless after dropping games to the Atlanta Falcons and Dallas Cowboys to begin the year.
The Jets are already missing wide receiver Chris Owusu as well, so the team will likely rely heavily on Brandon Marshall in the passing game and give increased touches to players like Jeremy Kerley, Quincy Enunwa and Devin Smith.
Decker signed a five-year, $36.25 million deal with the Jets in 2014 after four seasons with the Denver Broncos. Philadelphia enters the game with the No. 24 pass defense after allowing 540 yards through the air in the first two weeks.
