A.J. Brown Exits with Knee Injury, Does Not Return vs Jaguars


Like many other big name receivers on the day, A.J. Brown was quiet in his limited action before leaving the game due to a knee injury late in the first half. That led to Devonta Smith being the Eagles’ top pass catcher once again as he was earlier this season without Brown in the lineup. Of course, the story of the day wasn’t the Eagles’ passing attack against Jacksonville’s hot-knife-through-butter defense, but rather Saquon Barkley’s reverse-somersaulting, 199-yard performance that saw him notch a pair of touchdowns to lead Philadelphia to victory. That’s the nature of the Eagles’ offense, though – Hurts had a score of his own on the ground and Philly can win with any of their playmakers on any given day. Regardless, Devonta Smith would receive a significant upgrade if Brown would miss any time, while Saquon Barkley could end up being relied on even more often in the event that Brown is sidelined. Seeing as it’s a knee injury, the range of outcomes for a potential timeline of recovery is wide – this could be something he plays through, and it could also be a sprain that holds him out multiple weeks. Stay tuned to injury reports later this week, especially with a very favorable matchup against the division rival Cowboys on tap in Week 10.
