A.J. Brown, the star receiver for the Philadelphia Eagles, was sidelined on Monday night against Atlanta due to a hamstring injury. To make matters worse, Brown revealed to ESPN’s Lisa Salters that he expects to miss a couple of weeks while he recovers. This news broke during the Monday Night Football broadcast from Lincoln Financial Field.
Missing Brown for an extended period is a significant blow to the Eagles’ offense. In the previous week’s game against the Packers, Brown showcased his skills by catching five passes for 119 yards, including a stunning 67-yard touchdown. Since joining Philadelphia in a draft night trade with Tennessee in 2022, Brown has formed a potent wide receiver duo with DeVonta Smith.
The Eagles’ offense relies heavily on the talent of players like Brown, Smith, Dallas Goedert, and Saquon Barkley. Losing a key player like Brown puts more pressure on the remaining offensive weapons and depth pieces such as Jahan Dotson, Grant Calcaterra, and Kenny Gainwell.
