Hollywood Brown Logged Zero Snaps in Eagles’ Week 1 Win

Coach Nick Sirianni has pledged to increase Brown’s playing time, a development that could force a roster move if his role does not expand.

Overview

  • Brown did not play any offensive snaps in the Eagles’ season-opening win over the Washington Commanders on Sunday and said he was surprised by the decision.
  • The receiver told reporters there were 'no conversations' with the coaching staff about his workload before the game and said he is ready when his opportunity comes.
  • Sirianni publicly acknowledged that rotational decisions limited Brown in Week 1 and said Brown’s snap count 'will change' because the team values his speed.
  • Other receivers stepped up in Brown’s absence, with Dallas Goedert and Dontayvion Wicks leading the Week 1 receiving output and rookie Makai Lemon also earning snaps.
  • Brown signed a one-year, $6.5 million deal to provide downfield speed and had a mixed training camp, and outlets warn the situation could lead to a trade request or other roster moves if playing time does not increase.
