Philadelphia Eagles fans, brace yourselves! Our star wide receiver, AJ Brown, is set to miss “a couple of weeks” due to a hamstring injury, as reported by ESPN on Monday night.
Brown picked up the injury during practice on Friday, resulting in a hamstring strain that unfortunately sidelined him from Monday night’s game against the visiting Atlanta Falcons. Despite the setback, Brown remains optimistic, asserting that the injury isn’t as severe as it seems, though he expects to sit out at least Sunday’s matchup against the New Orleans Saints.
QB Jalen Hurts leaned heavily on Brown in Week 1, targeting him a team-high 10 times in a thrilling 34-29 victory over the Green Bay Packers. Brown made his presence felt with five sensational catches for 119 yards and a touchdown, showcasing why he’s an indispensable asset to the Eagles’ offense.
The 27-year-old receiver is making waves in his third season with Philadelphia after a stellar three-year stint with the Tennessee Titans from 2019 to 2021. Throughout his 78 career games (including 70 starts), Brown has racked up an impressive 384 receptions, 6,066 yards, and 44 touchdowns. These numbers underscore his contributions and illustrate why his absence will be keenly felt in the coming weeks.
Stay tuned, Eagles Nation! We’ll be keeping a close eye on Brown’s recovery as he works tirelessly to get back on the field and continue making those jaw-dropping plays that we’ve come to love and expect from him.
