Remember week one against the Redskins?
That high powered offense and the DNA boys ready to take on the league with the Eagles?
Well, that was the end of the unit as they only ever played that one game and, appear likely to never play together again.
Mike Garafolo of the NFL Network reports that Alshon Jeffery is done for the season.
Not exactly a surprise but source with knowledge of #Eagles WR Alshon Jeffery’s injury status says his season is over. They’re still gathering opinions about what exactly is wrong with his foot but he’s done for the year.

Jeffery suffered a non-contact foot injury and was carted off the field in the first half of Monday night’s game against the Giants.
If his season does end today, he will have just 43 receptions for 490 yards and four touchdowns on the season.
His cap hit is $6 million.
Next season, his cap hit rises to $16 million and, if they cut him, he’d account for $26 million in dead cap, so that’s not going to happen.
Total, the DNA boys played 24 games if you include at least three instances where one of them was on the field for two or three snaps before leaving as a game played.
They have totaled 798 yard since week one, with 441 of that coming from Alshon Jeffery.
The Eagles will have an open spot with Jeffery out and are likely to sign a familiar face like Mike Wallace or Jordan Matthews or promote a player from their practice squad, which includes receivers Marken Michel, Robert Davis and Marcus Green.
