The Eagles’ WR avoided a concussion early on, but ended up questionable to return in Week 10.

[UPDATE]: The Jaguars climbed back into Sundays game, and despite a small 22-16 lead, the Eagles downgraded A.J. Brown to out with a knee injury.


The Eagles’ offense finally got off to a decent start and was able to put points on the board early against the Jaguars on Sunday afternoon. Despite A.J. Brown being evaluated for a concussion in the first half, the WR was cleared and able to return to play, but unfortunately it didn’t last long.

Coming out of halftime, Brown was seen trying to sprint on the sideline before ultimately returning to the locker room. Shortly after heading back inside, the WR was listed as questionable to return with a knee injury.

The Eagles had a 16-0 lead at the half, and had all the momentum to suggest that they probably won’t need Brown to come out of this Week 10 game with a win. Hopefully, that Brown was able to run at all is a good sign, and keeping him out may be a precautionary move.

Before leaving the game, Brown had two catches for 36 yards, but there’s no denying how much he impacts the game by just being on the field. Fortunately, the other parts of the Eagles’ offense seems to be clicking, and fingers crossed that any issues are short term. At the very least, it doesn’t look like this injury was related to his hamstring injury earlier in the season.
