After three weeks, Vincent Jackson is back.

Jackson, the Buccaneers’ receiver who has been battling a knee injury, is expected to play today, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports. Jackson is officially listed as questionable.

Despite missing three games, Jackson is still second on the Buccaneers with 319 receiving yards. Having him back, along with Mike Evans, will give Jameis Winston his two best options while facing a good Eagles defense.

The bad news for the Bucs is that tight end Austin Seferian-Jenkins is expected to miss yet another game with a shoulder injury. Seferian-Jenkins had an outstanding game in Week One but has been a non-factor since, and won’t be out there today, either.
