A.J. Brown is one of the top five wide receivers in the NFL, but he’s always working to improve, and he’s not afraid to borrow a specific release or adjust his routes based on what he sees from his peers at the position. Philadelphia will face an explosive Rams offense featuring their star wide receiver duo Cooper Kupp and Puka Nacua.
Last week, Kupp and Nacua combined for 229 receiving yards and three touchdowns against the Patriots, a reminder of their dominance when healthy. Injuries have limited Kupp and Nacua this season, but since each of their returns in Week 8, they’re on par as one of the most potent one-two punches in the game.
Since returning from injury, Kupp has 29 catches for 341 yards and three scores, going over 100 yards in two of the four games. Nacua has been even better, catching 24 passes for 338 yards and a touchdown.
Like the Bengals game with Ja’Marr Chase, Brown said he’ll be standing on the sideline to watch Cooper Kupp and Puka Nacua when the Eagles are on defense.
“There’s something I can learn. If I see something I like, I may do it in the game.”
