The Eagles are playing for a chance to earn the No. 2 seed in the NFC, and as the Cowboys struggle with the Commanders, Philadelphia’s best player may have suffered a significant injury.
After a nine-yard catch and run, Brown was tackled hard by the Giants Nick McCloud, as the defensive back forced a fumble and forced the Eagles star down to the turf on his knee.
Brown was eventually helped off and forced to exit the matchup with one catch for five yards.
Injury Update: WR A.J. Brown (knee) is questionable to return.

Philadelphia is already without DeVonta Smith, and with Brown listed as questionable, Brian Johnson’s offense will rely on Quez Watkins, Olamide Zaccheaus, and the great Julio Jones.
Here’s the media reaction to Brown’s injury and one 94 WIP radio host screaming, “I Told You So.”

Giglio spent all week clamoring for the Eagles to sit their starters to get the presumed easier matchup against an NFC South opponent.
If only there was a way to avoid injury to one of the Eagles most important players today.
