DeSean Jackson is back in Philadelphia. And he played a key role in Sunday’s season-opening win.The first of Jackson’s two touchdowns helped snap the home team out of a 17-0 funk Dwayne Haskins Jersey , although quarterback Carson Wentz never flinched in the face of the slow start.“We were never worried offensively,” Wentz told PFT by phone after the eventual 32-27 win. “We didn’t panic. The character of the team and the culture of the organization keep it from happening. It’s a long game and a long season, and the veterans keep everybody calm.”Wentz isn’t calm about what Jackson can do; the quarterback gushed about Jackson’s potential impact on the offense.“He creates mismatches and problems for the defense,” Wentz said of Jackson. “He opens up the rest of the offense.”Indeed he does. And he gives Wentz a weapon he’s never really had. Yes, the team has had deep threats, but not of the caliber of Jackson, who returned to the city where his career began with more than 150 receiving yards, two touchdowns Wes Martin Jersey , and most importantly a win over one of his former teams. ASHBURN, Va. (AP) — Caleb Brantley thought the Washington Redskins might draft him out of Florida last year.They passed on him like 30 other NFL teams did before the Cleveland Browns finally took the defensive lineman in the sixth round. Brantley faced a misdemeanor battery complaint that was dismissed after the draft.The Redskins signed Brantley on Monday after he was cut by the Browns, hoping his off-field issues are behind him and he gives them an upgrade over Anthony Lanier, whom they waived with an injury designation.“From what we understood, the charges are dropped and everything’s OK,” coach Jay Gruden said. “He’s been there in Cleveland the last couple years, so there haven’t been any issues yet. We’ll see. We understand who he is, where he comes from and what he’s done and what he’s going to do Dwayne Haskins Redskins Jersey , and we’ve got to hope that we get the best out of him both as a player and as a person.”The 24-year-old Brantley had 18 tackles and two sacks last season as a rookie. After a sack and two tackles in the preseason weren’t enough to make the Browns’ roster, he hopes defensive line coach Jim Tomsula can get him back to the level of his junior season at Florida when he led the Gators with 9½ tackles for loss and had 2½ sacks.“I feel like I can add pressure up the middle and just be a disruptive force,” Brantley said. “I just get in there and get vertical and penetrate. And I feel like I can be that kind of player here. I feel like I can learn a lot from Coach Tomsula. He’s one of the best D-line coaches. I’m just looking forward to learning from him and just doing what he asks me to do.”Brantley is the Redskins’ fifth defensive lineman 25 or younger, joining first-round picks from Alabama Jonathan Allen and Daron Payne, Tim Settle and Matt Ioannidis. Hood are ahead of Brantley, who seems like a long shot to play in the season opener Sunday at Arizona.More likely, he’s a long-term prospect for the Redskins, who moved on from Lanier after he was hampered recently by a hip flexor groin injury. He made Washington’s 53-man roster as an undrafted free agent in 2016 and had 14 tackles and five sacks last season.“We like Anthony https://www.theredskinslockerroom.com/authentic-dwayne-haskins-jersey ,” Gruden said. “He did a lot of great things for this organization. But at the end of the day, we thought Caleb adds a little bit more to the defensive line room.”NOTES: WR Maurice Harris (concussion) and LB Zach Brown (oblique) did not practice Monday. Gruden expects Brown to be ready for the Cardinals game. If Harris isn’t cleared by Sunday, it could open a spot for undrafted rookie Cam Sims to be active. … The Redskins added QB Nic Shimonek and DT Caushaud Lyons to the practice squad. Shimonek, an undrafted free agent out of Texas Tech who spent training camp with the Chargers, gives Washington a developmental prospect they haven’t had since Nate Sudfeld.
