When the Philadelphia Eagles play the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, they will be missing their standout receiver, A.J. Brown. ESPN’s Adam Schefter claimed that the Eagles had ruled Brown out as the club begins its NFL playoff run.
In a message on January 13, 2024, Schefter said, “Eagles’ WR A.J. Brown, who worked hard in his rehab to try to make it back this week, is out for Monday night’s wild-card matchup vs. the Bucs due to his sprained knee, per sources.” “Brown has improved enough to be able to play in the divisional playoffs if the Eagles make it. But on Monday night, he’s out.
For Brown, who didn’t practice, it seemed like things were going in this way during the entire week. The good news is that, should the club advance, there seems to be increasing hope that Brown can play in the Divisional Round.
