Eagles WR A.J. Brown, who is out Sunday with a hamstring injury, is expected back in Week 10 when the team returns from their bye.

Brown missed practice all week and will not play against the Giants. He’ll get an extra week of rest with the Eagles off in Week 9. He’ll also get an extra day of rest in Week 10 as the Eagles play on Monday night in Green Bay. There has been plenty of speculation surrounding a trade involving Brown, but Adam Schefter cooled off those rumors Saturday by saying the Eagles are not expected to trade Brown before the deadline on November 3. It’s been a slow start for Brown and the Eagles offense but they’re still sitting at 5-2 going into Sunday’s game against the Giants.

The Eagles ruled out WR A.J. Brown with a hamstring injury.

Smith and Goedert turn into very strong plays in this divisional matchup. Dotson sneaks into potential FLEX territory for desperate fantasy managers.

For a second straight day, Eagles WR A.J. Brown is not practicing due to a hamstring injury.

Still early enough that AJB could still see the field this week, but Smith and Goedert would be even stronger plays in a divisional matchup if he misses. Dotson works also sneak up to FLEX consideration.

Jalen Hurts and Saquon Barkley confirmed they held a players-only meeting, along with A.J. Brown, on Monday, but the quarterback and running back downplayed it as “just teammates being teammates.”

“Yeah, that’s just us talking about the collective, talking about taking ownership for what we can, talking about how we move forward as a team so we can continue to find ways to win games,” Hurts said, via video from Eliot Shorr-Parks of 94WIP.

Jimmy Kempski of The Philly Voice reported that Hurts, Brown and Barkley met among themselves for two hours to discuss offensive frustrations after the 21-17 loss to the Broncos.

Brown has only 19 catches for 194 yards and a touchdown, and Barkley got only six carries, which he took for 30 yards, against the Broncos. Barkley has 83 carries for 267 yards and three touchdowns for the season, the story pointed out. It also added, per Kempski, the talks were "positive." The Eagles travel to the Giants on Thursday night so we may quickly know how well - or not - things actually went.

The Eagles hope to get WR A.J Brown involved early and often against the Chiefs.

The Eagles wanted to get Brown involved early against the Cowboys, understandably, but the Cowboys did a nice job of removing him from plays and Jalen Hurts had to either go elsewhere with the ball or use his legs. Look for Brown to have a bounce back day Sunday.

Eagles WR A.J. Brown (hamstring) said he’s playing Thursday night vs. the Cowboys.

Brown has been dealing with a hamstring injury and there were questions surrounding him being ready for Week 1. The Eagles haven't really played any of their bigger names in the preseason so there is good reason to believe the team was, and is, just being extra careful with their star WR. Brown appears good to go for Thursday night's game.

The ball skills that made Jahan Dotson a 2022 first-round pick by the Washington Commanders are showing up more in his first full training camp in Philly. Among the signs, Dotson hauled in a contested catch on Tuesday against rookie cornerback Mac McWilliams along the right sideline. There’s a growing sense that Dotson could contribute more than the 19 catches for 216 yards that he fielded on short notice last season.

“I’ve always had a lot of confidence in Jahan,” Eagles wide receiver coach Aaron Moorehead said. “We really liked him coming out (of the draft) and was super excited when Howie traded for him last year and just thought that he adds a great dimension to the offense as a third guy."

There isn't much behind Brown and Smith, of course besides Barkley, as a pass-catching threat. Goedert has been good at times, but is 30-years-old, and the Eagles haven't traditionally got a lot from their WR3 over the years. So, it's certainly possible Dotson has a bigger role, especially of Goedert starts to show some age at the TE position. Dotson isn't getting drafted in most leagues so he should be around very late in drafts if you want to take a chance.

“I’m playing.” — A.J. Brown

Said the knee injury won’t affect him.

Doesn't get much more definitive than that. Consider Brown a WR1 in this divisional matchup.

Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown’s comment that the team’s passing offense needs to improve in the wake of Sunday’s 22-16 win over the Panthers has been the biggest topic of conversation of the week in Philadelphia and offensive coordinator Kellen Moore got his chance to weigh in on it Tuesday.

Moore said he speaks to Brown and other members of the offense every week and said “the flows of seasons” call for weekly conversations about how to get the most out of the passing offense. Part of that process for this week is working on ways to get the ball to Brown after he was targeted four times against Carolina.

“I’m going to focus more on trying to find different ways of increasing the likelihood of the ball going to him,” Moore said, via a transcript from the team.

Brown came out and criticized the passing game after just getting by the Panthers in Week 14. The Eagles, thanks to Saquon Barkley, have been a run-first team this year, and it's largely worked, thanks also to an improved defense. DeVonta Smith has also voiced frustration recently. The Eagles aren't likely to stop giving Barkley the ball, but we've had a few stories in the news this week featuring unhappy WRs, and there can often be a bit of a change in the game plan to keep players happy. The Eagles host the Steelers this week, so things may not come easy again for the offense.

Eagles WR DeVonta Smith (hamstring) is practicing once more, as he trends towards playing for the first time since Nov. 14.

I did not see Dallas Goedert (knee), Sydney Brown (knee), or Reed Blankenship (concussion). Britain Covey (neck) and Johnny Wilson (hamstring), who were limited yesterday, are present.

Calcaterra will have a great matchup against the Panthers secondary, but he can safely be left on waiver wires.

As for Smith, it looks like his hamstring is all healed up, which makes him a low-end WR2 in a game the Eagles should be able to do whatever they want on offense.
