As the Philadelphia Eagles gear up for their Week 2 Monday Night Football showdown against the Atlanta Falcons, the injury list has sparked some concern among fans. Initially, three players were listed on the injury report, but as the week progressed, the list grew longer.
The most significant news is that star wide receiver A.J. Brown will be sidelined due to a hamstring injury. Additionally, the Eagles made some roster moves by adding C/G Nick Gates while waiving EDGE Patrick Johnson.
