DeSean Jackson misses meeting, will be inactive
Posted by Gregg Rosenthal on November 13, 2011, 8:53 AM EST


Sunday mornings are usually quiet, but we have a surprise in store for Week 10.

Les Bowen of the Philadelphia Daily News reports that DeSean Jackson was told he will be inactive Sunday against the Cardinals because he was late to a meeting this week.

Bowen notes that the Eagles do this as a matter of policy. Correll Buckhalter got the same punishment for the same offense a few years ago.

Still, it’s hard not to wonder if the Eagles are sending a message to their star receiver here. Jackson has struggled throughout his contract year.

UPDATE: Bowen updated his report to say Jackson wasn’t just late; he missed the meeting entirely. The team confirmed the report to Bowen.

I don't think it'll matter much today. Philly still wins this game.

I don't know if he's exactly struggled. His TDs are down, but he's averaging 17 yards a catch, and has over 500 yards receiving.

Man was I wrong about this. But do I care? No. The Eagles lost. Loving this Sunday afternoon. Now, let's hope the Giants lose.

I have to say, I don't know if I could bench one of my best players while being in the position the Eagles are in or were in going into Sundays game.

Props to Reid and upper management. I couldn't do that. I'd fine that holy shit out of him, but I couldn't sit him down for a game that they had to have.
