While the Philadelphia Eagles‘ road to the Super Bowl couldn’t have started off better, not all news are positive for Nick Sirianni’s squad. A.J. Brown, their star WR, ended the week on the injury report, which is why the HC is being cautious about his availability for the game against the Falcons.
According to the official site NFL.com: “WR A.J. Brown felt a little tightness in his hamstring during Friday’s practice, head coach Nick Sirianni told reporters, adding that they’ll be cautious with him today.”
Although the injury affecting the former Mississippi player is not severe, given his crucial role on the team, the goal is to manage his condition carefully to ensure he can compete throughout the season without complications. Even though the season has just started, the aim is to prevent any worsening of his condition.
The Eagles are emerging as a serious contender for the Super Bowl, but to solidify their status, they must defeat the Atlanta Falcons in the upcoming Monday Night Football game. The Falcons, who debuted in Week 1 with an 18-10 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers, will be looking to bounce back.
Eagles and an important season opener in Brazil
The Philadelphia franchise started this season with the primary goal of once again lifting the Super Bowl trophy, as they did with Nick Foles. And the journey couldn’t have begun in a more solid manner.
In the first-ever NFL game held on South American soil, the team led by Nick Sirianni decisively defeated the Green Bay Packers, who are currently navigating a period of mild reconstruction.
Those who know the sport say that starting with a win is always crucial, and the Eagles managed to handle the debut nerves with great poise. Led by Jalen Hurts and Saquon Barkley, Philly is now 1-0 and will look to improve their record this Monday.
