Eagles' A.J. Brown: Sits out practice Wednesday
A.J. Brown (hamstring) was listed as a non-participant on Wednesday's estimated injury report.Brown relayed to Lisa Salters of ESPN on Monday that he expects to be out a few weeks due to the hamstring injury that he suffered in practice last Friday, which kept him from playing in Monday's loss to the Falcons. As such, it may be some time before Brown is able to mix into drills. In the meantime, wideout DeVonta Smith, tight end Dallas Goedert and running back Saquon Barkley will be the top pass catchers available to quarterback Jalen Hurts.

Eagles' A.J. Brown: Expects to miss couple of weeks
A.J. Brown told Lisa Salters of ESPN on Monday that he expects to miss a couple of weeks due to the hamstring injury he suffered at Friday's practice.Brown is active for Monday's game against the Falcons, and the wideout already appears resigned to missing the Philadelphia Eagles' Week 3 game Sunday in New Orleans, as well. The Eagles haven't confirmed a recovery timeline for Brown, but the team will likely be motivated to err on the side of caution and hold him out until he's no longer at risk of returning prematurely and aggravating the hamstring injury. Assuming he does miss more time, wideouts DeVonta Smith and Jahan Dotson and tight end Dallas Goedert should be the prime beneficiaries in terms of targets.

Eagles' A.J. Brown: Officially questionable for Monday
A.J. Brown (hamstring) didn't practice Saturday, and he's been deemed questionable for Monday's contest against Atlanta.Philadelphia Eagles coach Nick Sirianni indicated earlier Saturday that Brown felt "tightness" in his hamstring during practice Friday and said that the team was going to exercise caution with the star receiver in Saturday's practice session. Brown ended up not participating in any capacity, but he hasn't been ruled out of playing on Monday. Brown's late-week addition to the injury report puts fantasy managers in a tricky position, since few viable options will likely be available on the waiver wire if Brown is ultimately inactive Monday.

Eagles' A.J. Brown: Hamstring issue deemed 'tightness'
Philadelphia Eagles coach Nick Sirianni said Saturday that A.J. Brown "felt a little tightness" in his hamstring during Friday's practice, and the team intends to exercise caution with the wideout in practice Saturday, EJ Smith of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.Brown was added to Philadelphia's injury report Friday due to the hamstring issue. While Sirianni's comments Saturday add clarity to the nature of the concern about the star receiver, they don't clarify the extent to which Brown is in danger of missing Monday's Week 2 game against Atlanta. More could be known in that regard following Saturday's practice, however, when Philadelphia will release its final injury report ahead of Monday Night Football.

Eagles' A.J. Brown: Late addition to injury report
A.J. Brown was added to the Philadelphia Eagles' practice report Friday as a limited participant due to a hamstring injury.It's a major concern for fantasy managers, especially with the Eagles playing Monday against Atlanta, at which point there weren't be many alternatives to fill in at wide receiver. Brown hadn't previously been listed on the injury report, so this suggests something happened during practice Thursday or Friday, although it may just be a minor injury. The Eagles will release their final Week 2 injury report Saturday afternoon/evening.

The fantasy stud produced as if he was in midseason form despite seeing no action this preseason.

Eagles' A.J. Brown: Lucrative extension with Philly
A.J. Brown (knee) signed a three-year, $96 million extension with the Philadelphia Eagles on Thursday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.Rumors emerged early in the offseason that Brown was on his way out of Philadelphia after a disappointing close to the 2023 campaign. He did his best to shut the speculation down, and this extension -- which reportedly includes $84 million in guaranteed money -- should squash any lingering doubt as to his future with the Eagles as he's now under contract through 2029. Brown -- who is bouncing back from a knee issue that he sustained in the Eagles' regular-season finale -- has had two standout seasons with the team, topping 1,450 in each year with 18 total touchdowns.

Eagles' A.J. Brown: Wants to stay in Philly
A.J. Brown (knee) called into Sports Radio 94WIP on Friday to shut down trade rumors and say that he wants to stay with the Philadelphia Eagles.Brown took matters into his own hands after hearing trade rumors from Philadelphia media on the heels of the Eagles' late-season meltdown. He was clear about not wanting to be traded and not having any issues with QB Jalen Hurts, and Brown also mentioned feeling like the team's coaches were unfairly blamed for a disappointing 2023. All the same, Philadelphia will have new coordinators on both sides of the ball in 2024, having hired Kellen Moore for the offense and Vic Fangio for the defense. Assuming he's right about the trade rumors being bogus, Brown will remain a central figure in the offense for the second season of his four-year, $100 million extension. The knee injury that kept him out of a wild-card loss to Tampa Bay isn't expected to impact his preparations for 2024, and Brown figures to be taken late in the first round or early in the second round of most fantasy drafts, just as he was last summer.
