In a blow to the Eagles’ aerial attack, wide receiver A.J. Brown will miss his third straight game this Sunday.
Brown Still Sidelined
The Eagles announced on Saturday afternoon that Brown has yet to receive the green light to return from the hamstring injury plaguing him for the past three games. Brown had a spectacular start to the season, racking up five catches for 119 yards and a touchdown during the Week One triumph over the Packers. However, he has been sidelined since then, much to the dismay of Eagles fans.
A Glimmer of Hope
The situation gets grimmer for Philadelphia as wide receiver DeVonta Smith is also ruled out due to a concussion. With their top two receivers out of commission, the Eagles have had to dig deep into their roster. Cue Parris Campbell and John Ross, who have been elevated from the practice squad to take on crucial roles in the passing game this Sunday in Tampa Bay. These men will need to step up and “darle con todo” to fill the colossal void left by Brown and Smith.
Linebacker Drama: Devin White
If the Eagles didn’t have enough on their plate, linebacker Devin White will also miss Sunday’s game, but this time for personal reasons. White, who played his entire career with Tampa Bay before switching over to the Eagles this offseason, has yet to make his debut for Philadelphia.
A Tall Order Ahead
Coach Sirianni has his work cut out for him. Elevating Campbell and Ross signifies a major shakeup in the game plan. Imagine gearing up for a big test only to find out that your study material just got switched!
As we say in football: “Cuando el balón no rueda bien, todo se complica.” But who knows? Perhaps these adjustments will be the catalyst for a surprise, giving Philly fans something to cheer about.
Key Plays Still to Come
The real question now is, how will the Eagles adapt to these setbacks? The answer will unfold live on the gridiron come Sunday. Stay tuned, compañeros. Strap in, because this game is going to be one heck of a rollercoaster ride!
To summarize:
- A.J. Brown is out for the third consecutive game.
- DeVonta Smith is sidelined with a concussion.
- Wide receivers Parris Campbell and John Ross are promoted from practice squad.
- Linebacker Devin White will miss the game for personal reasons.
Keep your eyes on the prize, Eagles fans. Every setback is a setup for a comeback. Vamos, Eagles!
