Eagles' A.J. Brown: Finds end zone in SB win
A.J. Brown secured three of five targets for 43 yards and a touchdown in the Philadelphia Eagles' 40- 22 win over the Chiefs in Super Bowl LIX on Sunday.Brown saw a 32-yard reception on the Eagles' first drive wiped out by an offensive pass interference penalty against him, but the talented wideout would go on to make up for it with a 22-yard reception on third down early in the second quarter and a 12-yard touchdown grab later in the period. He finished second on the team in catches and tied for second in targets with fellow wideout DeVonta Smith on the night, and after mustering just a 3-24-0 line during the Eagles' first two playoff games, Brown amassed a combined nine catches for 139 yards and two touchdowns on 13 targets during the NFC Championship Game and Super Bowl.

Eagles' A.J. Brown: Gets back to full Thursday
A.J. Brown (knee/rest/illness) was a full practice participant Thursday.Brown was limited at Wednesday's walkthrough due to knee/rest, which dates back to Week 16 prep. Despite getting back to full one day later, he also was listed with an illness. In two playoff games to date, Brown has earned at least a 90 percent snap share both times but compiled a measly 3-24-0 line on 10 targets. He'll look to be more involved on offense Sunday against a Commanders defense that he put up a combined 13 catches (on 23 targets) for 162 yards and one touchdown in two regular-season matchups.

Eagles' A.J. Brown: Just two catches in Sunday's win
A.J. Brown caught two of seven targets for 14 yards in Sunday's 28-22 divisional-round win over the Rams.The Philadelphia Eagles' passing game has been completely de-emphasized during their playoff run, and Brown's production has taken the biggest hit. The star wideout has only a 3-24-0 line on 10 targets through two games -- a lower yardage total than he delivered in any single game during the regular season. Unless the Commanders find some way to bottle up Saquon Barkley next Sunday in the NFC Championship Game, Brown may have trouble making an impact again.

Eagles' A.J. Brown: Clear for Sunday's contest
A.J. Brown (knee/rest) doesn't have a designation for Sunday's divisional-round game against the Rams.As has been the norm since Week 16 prep, Brown endured some practice restrictions this week due to knee/rest, sitting out Wednesday before returning as a limited participant one day later. With a full session under his belt Friday, he again is good to go versus a Los Angeles defense that has allowed 7.97 YPT (13th in the NFL) and 20 receiving touchdowns (tied for fourth-most) to opposing wide receivers in 18 contests between the regular season and playoffs.

Eagles' A.J. Brown: Officially limited Thursday
A.J. Brown (knee/rest) practiced in a limited fashion Thursday.As he predicted, Brown followed up Wednesday's absence from practice with a cap on his reps one day later as he continues to deal with a knee injury that has lingered since preparations for Week 16. He's played in three of four games in the meantime -- in the fourth, Week 18 against the Giants, most Philadelphia Eagles starters sat out -- and he's handled greater than a 90 percent snap share all three times. Ultimately, Friday's practice report will reveal whether or not Brown enters the weekend with a designation ahead of Sunday's divisional-round contest against the Rams.

Eagles' A.J. Brown: Not needed in Sunday's win
A.J. Brown caught one of three targets for 10 yards in Sunday's 22-10 wild-card round win over the Packers.The Philadelphia Eagles' offense didn't really need to do much after jumping out to a 10-0 lead in the first quarter, but Brown's lack of volume was still curious. Tight end Dallas Goedert wound up leading the team with six targets, however, with Brown finishing third behind DeVonta Smith's four. Brown hasn't received fewer than six targets in consecutive games all year, so chances are good that Philly's leading receiver will be much more involved in the divisional round after posting a 67-1,079-7 line in only 13 regular-season contests.
