A.J. Brown Misses Matchup Against Giants Due to Injury
Philadelphia Eagles star receiver A.J. Brown will not participate in Sunday’s game against the New York Giants due to a hamstring injury. Brown, who had an outstanding performance in last week’s game against the Minnesota Vikings, sealing the 28-22 victory with a 45-yard reception from Jalen Hurts, will miss the match. In that game, Brown achieved four receptions, accumulating 121 yards and two touchdowns, outstanding figures for the season. However, he was unable to participate in the Eagles’ three training sessions this week.Hamstring injuries often carry the risk of recurrence, and the Eagles have a bye week after the game against the Giants. So far this season, Brown has achieved 29 receptions, totaling 395 yards and three touchdowns. The player has expressed some frustration with the team’s offensive performance, including a social media post after the Week 4 victory against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. This week, Brown shared a photo on Instagram with the phrase “Using me but not using me”, which sparked speculation about whether it was directed at the team. Despite this, according to Sirianni, the situation in the team has followed its normal course. The Eagles also confirmed the absence of starting center Cam Jurgens (knee), linebacker Azeez Ojulari (hamstring), and cornerback Adoree’ Jackson (concussion).Coach Nick Sirianni commented on Friday that, despite the absence of training, he considered Brown a player who “definitely could” play.
