A.J. Brown Misses Second Practice With Hamstring as Eagles Weigh Week 8 Availability

Consecutive hamstring-related absences have put the receiver’s status for Sunday in doubt.

Overview

  • Brown was listed as a non-participant on Wednesday and again on Thursday with a hamstring injury, leaving his availability against the Giants uncertain.
  • The absence follows his best outing of the season in Week 7, when he played 46 of 50 snaps and logged four catches for 121 yards and two touchdowns in a win at Minnesota.
  • Brown’s Instagram post reading “Using me but not using me” this week renewed attention on his frustration over usage after inconsistent target volume earlier in the season.
  • Quarterback Jalen Hurts downplayed the social-media noise, saying he keeps his focus on the collective, and The Athletic has reported the team is not planning to trade Brown “now.”
  • Philadelphia’s injury list also included center Cam Jurgens (knee) and others as DNPs, with Friday’s report expected to provide the clearest read on Brown’s Week 8 outlook.
