AJ Brown, the Philadelphia Eagles’ star wide receiver, will not play in Sunday’s game against the New York Giants but is expected to return after the team’s bye week for the November 10 matchup against the Green Bay Packers, according to NFL insider Ian Rapoport.
Brown missed practices this week due to a hamstring issue, leading the Eagles to list him as out for Week 8. Despite some missed time, Brown has been a key part of Philadelphia’s passing game this season. According to ESPN, he has recorded 29 catches for 395 yards and three touchdowns through seven games. These numbers highlight both his big-play ability and a relatively lighter target share compared to previous seasons.
Last week, Brown showcased his potential in the Eagles’ 28-22 win over the Minnesota Vikings by finishing with 121 yards and two touchdowns. His performance helped stabilize Philadelphia’s offense alongside a strong outing from quarterback Jalen Hurts. This display emphasized why the Eagles prefer to be cautious with him moving forward.
When healthy, Brown significantly impacts coverage schemes and creates opportunities for his teammates. Head coach Nick Sirianni and the medical staff plan to use the upcoming bye week to carefully manage Brown’s recovery. This approach aligns with the team’s usual strategy for soft-tissue injuries, which can be worsened by returning too soon.
The early estimate for Brown’s return in Week 10 provides the Eagles with a valuable window to complete his treatment, monitor his workouts, and ensure a clean lift in practice before facing the Packers.
