Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Alshon Jeffery has been cleared for contact, coach Doug Pederson announced Wednesday.
Jeffery had offseason shoulder surgery and has yet to play in 2018. Pederson did not commit to Jeffery playing Sunday when the Eagles travel to Tennessee.
"We're excited to get him in the mix and see where he's at," Pederson said. "We'll make a final determination later in the week."
Jeffery, 28, sustained the shoulder injury during training camp in 2017 but played the entire season through the pain. He had 57 catches for 789 yards with nine touchdowns.
Despite the injury, the Eagles signed him to a four-year, $52 million contract extension in December.
He has been practicing on a limited basis for two weeks.
Jeffery's return means the Eagles are getting close to playing at full strength for the first time this season. Quarterback Carson Wentz returned in Week 3 from knee surgery, and Pederson said Monday that running backs Jay Ajayi (back) and Darren Sproles (hamstring) should play, provided there is no setback.
