The Philadelphia Eagles are looking to start their season 2-0 at home on Monday Night Football. Philadelphia had a few players pop up on their injury report this week, but no one more surprising than wide receiver AJ Brown. Brown was a new addition to the injury report on Friday.
According to the Eagles, wide receiver AJ Brown missed Monday night’s matchup against the Falcons after sustaining a hamstring injury during Friday’s practice. Saturday, Brown was unable to practice. However, it may be worse than originally thought.
Eagles’ WR AJ Brown Leaks Devastating Injury News Live On Monday Night Football
According to Adam Schefter of ESPN:
Eagles WR AJ Brown told ESPN’s Lisa Salters that he does expect to miss a couple of weeks due to the hamstring injury he suffered Friday.
This statement comes just one day after many figured the star wide receiver would be back in week three:
After missing Monday’s game against the Atlanta Falcons due to a hamstring injury suffered in practice on Friday, Philadelphia Eagles receiver A.J. Brown believes this could be the start of an extended absence.
The wideout explained the situation to ESPN’s Lisa Salters (h/t Field Yates):
This news comes amid reports the Eagles were expecting Brown back on the field soon.
NFL Network’s Mike Garafolo reported ahead of Monday Night Football that the Eagles “maybe could have pushed him to play tonight,” but decided it wasn’t worth it. Instead, they’ll look for Brown to return for Week 3 on Sunday.
“They did not place him on IR, so that tells you that they expect this to be a short-term absence,” Garafolo said. “My understanding is they hope it’s a very short-term absence and he can return to play as soon as their next coming game right now.”
