Overview
- ESPN’s Sal Paolantonio reported that owner Jeffrey Lurie, with security chief Dom DiSandro facilitating, met A.J. Brown on the practice field, where Brown agreed to curb social-media complaints and the two ended the 10-minute talk with a hug.
- After calling the offense a “bleep show” last week, Brown said his criticism was about helping the team, not targets, reiterating that the unit has “self‑inflicted” issues to clean up.
- Brown saw a season-high 11 targets in the win over the Lions, finishing with seven catches for 49 yards and drawing a late pass-interference, underscoring a usage spike without big gains.
- Jalen Hurts, asked if the game plan aimed to feed Brown, deflected to play-caller Kevin Patullo, saying it was “how it was called,” highlighting ongoing questions about targeting and accountability.
- Right tackle Lane Johnson suffered a Lisfranc sprain and is expected to miss multiple weeks, a blow to an offense already ranked near the bottom of the league in passing production.
