Unfortunately, the Philadelphia Eagles are facing some bad news as they prepare for their Week 2 matchup against the Falcons. Star wide receiver A.J. Brown has been ruled out for Monday Night Football due to a hamstring injury.
During his press conference on Saturday, Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni disclosed that Brown’s hamstring “just got a little tight in practice yesterday,” ultimately leading to his absence from the upcoming game. This setback means that Brown will be sidelined for at least one week.
With Brown out, the pressure now falls on fellow star wideout DeVonta Smith and newcomer Jahan Dotson, who the team acquired in a trade last month, to step up and fill the void left by Brown’s absence. The Eagles will need their offense firing on all cylinders to secure a victory at Lincoln Financial Field.
