NFL News: HC Nick Sirianni gives uncertain report on Philadelphia Eagles' AJ Brown's injury

Philadelphia Eagles felt the absence of wide receiver AJ Brown in the 22-21 last-minute loss to Atlanta Falcons on Monday Night Football in the 2024 NFL Monday Night Football. Head coach Nick Sirianni declared in press conference and brought doubts about how long he will be without Brown.

The former Tennessee Titans player is sidelined with a hamstring injury, an ailment that could sideline him for an undetermined amount of time. Brown marked 5 receptions for 119 yards and 1 touchdown for the Eagles in the NFL Week 1 against the Green Bay Packers.

“I don’t know exactly how long he’ll be out yet, we’ll be constantly evaluating him,” Sirianni said. The Eagles head coach then stated, “Brown is one of the best players in the league and his absence impacts the team.” Last season, the 27-year-old wide receiver finished with 106 receptions for 1,456 yards and seven touchdowns.

It is clear that there is confusion and uncertainty about the physical condition of Brown, who was a significant absence in the upset against the Falcons, where Sirianni was criticized for tactical decisions that did not help protect the score.
