Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown was not present for the open portion of practice on Saturday, raising questions about his availability for the team’s home opener against the Atlanta Falcons on Monday.
Brown, 27, popped up on the injury report Friday with an ailing hamstring issue. He was listed as a limited participant in practice.
“Just got a little tight in practice yesterday,” Eagles coach Nick Sirianni said on Saturday morning. “We’ll see how that goes.”
Brown, 27, had five catches for 119 yards and a touchdown in Philadelphia’s 34-29 victory over the Green Bay Packers on Sept. 6 in Sao Paolo, Brazil.
A three-time Pro Bowl selection, Brown has 384 receptions for 6,066 yards and 43 touchdowns in 78 career games (70 starts) with the Tennessee Titans (2019-21) and Eagles.
DeVonta Smith and newcomer Jahan Dotson would see a larger workload should Brown sit out or be limited against the Falcons (0-1).
