Philadelphia Eagles WR DeSean Jackson will give up punt return duties most of the time; however, special teams coordinator Bobby April said he still thinks Jackson will have a role when the team needs a spark. ‘DeSean will return some,’ April said. ‘But we’ll primarily focus him on offense and hopefully find a guy that can do what he can do. We want to use him offensively as a weapon. There’s some wear and tear to a guy his size … Just the amount of running he does at practice. If you can eliminate some of it with the return game, if you can eliminate some of it in practice, he might be a little better replenished on game day. A little more explosive.’
