The Eagles are set for a critical NFC East matchup with the Washington Commanders, and A.J. Brown wouldn't miss this for anything.
Brown appeared on the injury report following Thursday's practice with a knee/rest designation. Asked if Brown suffered an injury during that session, Nick Sirianni referred to his star wide receiver as limited ahead of Friday's session.
Asked if Brown will play, Sirianni stated, "we'll see."
Brown appeared to avoid a serious injury late in Philadelphia's win over Pittsburgh when James Pierre got away with a hip-drop tackle after the Eagles star secured a late fourth-quarter catch.
