Eagles WR AJ Brown expected to miss 'a couple of weeks'

PHILADELPHIA — Eagles wide receiver AJ Brown expects to miss “a couple of weeks” with an injured hamstring, he told ESPN's Lisa Salters Monday night.

Brown said he did not consider the injury to be serious.

Brown was reported on the injury report Friday after his hamstring got “a little tight” during practice, according to coach Nick Sirianni. Brown was later ruled out for Monday night's 22-21 loss to the Atlanta Falcons.

Sirianni said after the game that he didn’t know how long Brown would be out of the field.

“Obviously, A.J. being out, he’s one of the best players in the NFL, so you’re going to miss him,” Sirianni said.

If Brown gives Salters time, the Eagles would play without their star wideout for next week's contest against the New Orleans Saints. Philadelphia will play against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers before its Week 5 bye.

With Brown out, wide receiver Parris Campbell was signed off the practice squad on Monday. Jahan Dotson and Britain Covey got snaps alongside DeVonta Smith against the Falcons.

Brown, 27, has been a central part of the Eagles' offensive attack since being acquired from the Tennessee Titans in 2022. He became the first Eagles player in team history to exceed 1,400 receiving yards in back-to-back seasons, setting franchise highs for receiving yards in both campaigns.

His 2024 season got off to a fast start, as he scored 119 yards and a touchdown on five receptions during a Week 1 win over the Green Bay Packers in Sao Paulo, Brazil.
