Report: Redskins' DeSean Jackson expected to play Thursday
Washington Redskins wide receiver DeSean Jackson is expected to play Thursday night against the New York Giants, reports Ian Rapoport of NFL.com.
Jackson was limited during Monday and Tuesday's practice with a lingering left shoulder sprain sustained during Week 2. He was questionable for Washington's game last Sunday against the Eagles but ended up playing and did not have any setbacks.
According to Rapoport, Jackson will test his shoulder during pregame to be sure he can play.

Washington (1-2) continues to be without quarterback Robert Griffin III, who dislocated his ankle in Week 2. Kirk Cousins has taken over at QB in Griffin's absence.
