Brown (knee/rest) is listed as doubtful for Sunday's game against the Giants.
Brown's absence will be for rest and injury avoidance more so than anything to do with his minor knee injury. He should be ready for a full workload in the wild-card round of the playoffs against Washington or Green Bay.

Eagles' A.J. Brown: Another DNP on Thursday
Rotowire
Brown (knee/rest) didn't practice Thursday.
During both Week 16 and 17 prep, Brown showed up on the Eagles' injury report Thursday as limited due to knee and rest before getting cleared ahead of the last two contests. This week, he's been a non-participant with the same listings, but the team isn't expected to play QB Jalen Hurts (concussion), RB Saquon Barkley and a number of other starters Sunday versus the Giants, so Brown very likely is among that group of players. Philadelphia may make a ruling on Brown's Week 18 status as soon as it posts it final report of the regular season Friday.

Eagles' A.J. Brown: Catches late TD in win
Rotowire
Brown secured three of five targets for 36 yards and a touchdown in the Eagles' 41-7 win over the Cowboys on Sunday.
Brown's quiet day was salvaged by his 20-yard touchdown grab late in the third quarter, a pass thrown by No. 3 quarterback Tanner McKee after Kenny Pickett (ribs) was forced out of the contest. Brown's scoring catch was preceded by a spectacular one-handed would-be TD reception that was narrowly incomplete when the talented receiver's right foot didn't come down inbounds in the left corner of the end zone. The Eagles have now clinched the NFC East, and unless the No. 1 seed is still in play for them in a Week 18 home matchup against the Giants, it's likely Brown doesn't take part in all four quarters of that contest.

Eagles' A.J. Brown: No designation for Sunday
Rotowire
Brown (knee/rest) doesn't have a designation for Sunday's game versus the Cowboys.
For a second week in a row, Brown made an appearance on the Eagles' injury report midweek as limited due to knee/rest, but the scaled-back workload in one session again won't stop him from being available. That said, he will be working without QB Jalen Hurts, who wasn't able to practice this week due to a concussion that he sustained Week 16. Instead, Kenny Pickett (ribs) will be under center Sunday, but Brown still was able to put up an 8-97-1 line on 15 targets while working with the signal-caller for most of last Sunday's contest.

Eagles' A.J. Brown: Limited by knee issue
Rotowire
Brown (knee/rest) practiced in a limited capacity Thursday.
Brown similarly showed up on the Eagles' second practice report last week as limited with knee/rest before entering the weekend clear of a designation for this past Sunday's game at Washington. He proceeded to play all 74 snaps in the team's overtime loss on his way to eight catches (on 15 targets) for 97 yards and one touchdown while working most of the contest with Kenny Pickett (ribs) in place of Jalen Hurts (concussion) under center. Pickett seems poised to start for Hurts this weekend considering the latter hasn't practiced this week, so assuming Brown is able to suit up Sunday versus the Cowboys, he again should be on the receiving end of passes from Pickett.

Eagles' A.J. Brown: Finds end zone against Washington
Rotowire
Brown caught eight of 15 targets for 97 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 36-33 loss to the Commanders.
The star wideout put together his second straight strong performance, but this time Brown did it with Kenny Pickett (ribs) under center for most of the afternoon -- including for a four-yard TD in the first quarter -- after Jalen Hurts (concussion) left the game early. Pickett also got hurt late in the contest, which means the Eagles could potentially have to turn to 2023 sixth-round pick Tanner McKee at quarterback in Week 17 against the Cowboys. Brown demonstrated he could work with Pickett with no significant issues, but McKee has yet to attempt a pass in the NFL, and he would represent a massive downgrade for the entire Philly offense.

Eagles' A.J. Brown: Avoids injury designation
Rotowire
Brown (knee) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game at Washington.
He never appeared in real danger of missing the game, listed under knee/rest after a limited practice Thursday. Brown was limited again at Friday's practice but should be ready for his usual workload this Sunday as the Eagles look to clinch the NFC East.

Eagles' A.J. Brown: Says he'll play
Rotowire
Brown (knee) said Friday that he'll play Sunday at Washington, Andrew DiCecco of InsideTheBirds.com reports.
As expected, given that the Eagles listed his injury as knee/rest after a limited practice Thursday. Brown wasn't on Wednesday's report and doesn't sound worried about his knee.

Eagles' A.J. Brown: Limited by knee injury
Rotowire
Brown (knee/rest) was limited in Thursday's practice.
Brown was listed as a non-participant at Wednesday's walk-through due to rest, so having his knee included as a reason for practice restrictions one day later indicates his health is compromised somewhat. The wideout was on the receiving end of an apparent hip-drop tackle and was slow to get to his feet late in this past Sunday's win against the Steelers. With an injury now evident, Brown's status will be monitored in advance of Sunday's Week 16 road matchup versus the Commanders.

Eagles' A.J. Brown: Solid showing in win
Rotowire
Brown recorded eight receptions on 11 targets for 110 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 27-13 win over the Steelers.
Brown made headlines throughout the week after being critical of Philadelphia's passing offense, but he did his part to quiet that storyline by making a season-best eight receptions while topping 100 yards for the fifth time in 11 contests. His performance was highlighted by long receptions 21, 20, 19 and 17 yards as well as a five-yard touchdown late in the first quarter. Brown's strong performance was almost soured late in the game, when he got up slowly after an apparent hip-drop tackle, though he was spotted moving fine in the locker room following the win, per Eliot Shorr-Parks of Sports Radio 94 WIP Philadelphia.

Eagles' A.J. Brown: Quiet against Carolina
Rotowire
Brown caught all four of his targets for 43 yards in Sunday's 22-16 win over the Panthers.
The fifth-year wideout tied for his lowest target volume of the season, but Brown still led the Eagles in receiving yards on a day in which Jalen Hurts threw for just 108 yards. With Saquon Barkley clearly the focal point of the Philly offense, it's become harder for Brown to make a big impact, and he's scored only one TD over the last seven games while posting a 32-512-1 line on 42 targets. He'll try to turn things around in Week 15 against the Steelers.

Eagles' A.J. Brown: Silent in second half of win
Rotowire
Brown caught five of six targets for 66 yards in Sunday's 24-19 win over the Ravens.
Brown accounted for 66 of Jalen Hurts' 104 first-half passing yards, but Hurts threw for only 14 yards after halftime, with none of those going to Brown. While Brown has at least 65 receiving yards in eight of nine appearances this season, this was a disappointing performance from the star wideout considering the Ravens came into Sunday with the second-most receiving yards and second-most receiving touchdowns allowed to wide receivers. Brown will look to bounce back in Week 14 against the Panthers.

Eagles' A.J. Brown: Cracks century mark and scores TD
Rotowire
Brown hauled in six of seven targets for 109 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 37-20 win over the Rams.
Brown tied his previous season-best mark of six receptions while recording his fourth 100-plus yard game in the process. The 27-year-old now sports a 39-727-4 receiving line through eight active games, which is a tick below the averages of 97 receptions, 1,476 yards and nine touchdowns the wideout averaged in his first two seasons with Philadelphia. Brown should continue to be treated as WR1 in fantasy when the Eagles take on the Ravens next Sunday.

Eagles' A.J. Brown: Leading receiver in blowout win
Rotowire
Brown caught five of seven targets for 109 yards in Sunday's 34-6 win over the Cowboys.
Brown was the only offensive player for either squad to crack the century mark in yardage Sunday. It was a reassuring performance for managers after the star wideout missed practice earlier in the week with a barking knee. Brown remains one of the elite wideouts in the NFL heading into a Week 11 matchup against Washington on Thursday Night Football.

Eagles' A.J. Brown: Clear for Week 10
Rotowire
Brown (knee) doesn't have a designation for Sunday's game at Dallas.
The same can be said for DeVonta Smith (hamstring), who followed a DNP-LP-FP practice regimen this week, and Dallas Goedert (hamstring), who will putting an end to a three-game absence this weekend. With the Eagles offense back to full capacity for just the second time this season, Brown will have more competition for targets but may actually be put in better positions to succeed Sunday against a Cowboys defense that has allowed the ninth-most YPT (8.27) to opposing wide receivers on the campaign.

Eagles' A.J. Brown: Logs full practice Thursday
Rotowire
Brown (knee) was a full practice participant Thursday.
Brown missed the second half of this past Sunday's game against the Jaguars due to a knee injury, and after undergoing an MRI on Monday, he was deemed day-to-day. He then was limited at Wednesday's walkthrough before logging every practice rep one day later, effectively clearing him ahead of Sunday's contest at Dallas. Fellow WR DeVonta Smith (hamstring) followed up a DNP on Wednesday with a capped session Thursday, so a question mark remains in the Eagles' receiving corps for Week 10.

Eagles' A.J. Brown: Officially limited Wednesday
Rotowire
Brown (knee) was listed as a limited participant at Wednesday's walkthrough.
After missing the second half of this past Sunday's win against the Jaguars due to a knee injury, Brown underwent an MRI that eventually revealed the issue to be a minor one that left him day-to-day. With a capped session behind him to start Week 10 prep, he's at least put himself on a path to being active Sunday in Dallas. Brown will have two more chances to get back to full participation this week.

Eagles' A.J. Brown: Practicing Wednesday
Rotowire
Brown (knee) will practice Wednesday, Dave Zangaro of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.
Brown received good news from an MRI after missing the second half of a 28-23 win over the Jaguars on Sunday. Adam Schefter of ESPN reported Monday that the wideout is considered day-to-day, and Brown's practice participation Wednesday confirms that his injury is a minor concern. Even a limited session Wednesday would put Brown on the right track to play this Sunday at Dallas.

Brown (knee) will be considered day-to-day, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Brown's tests on his knee came back clean, and Jeff McLane of The Philadelphia Inquirer had previously reported that Brown wasn't looking at an extended absence. It sounds like Brown might have a real chance to play next Sunday against the Cowboys despite not playing the second half against the Jaguars in Week 9.

Eagles' A.J. Brown: Not looking at extended absence
Rotowire
Brown (knee) is not expected to miss a significant amount of time, Jeff McLane of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
Coach Nick Sirianni refused to address the status of Brown in his session with the media Monday. Brown came out of the locker room after halftime but quickly went back down the tunnel early in the third quarter before the Eagles even took the field on offense. His day was over, and Brown was ruled out for the remainder of the Week 9 contest. Brown underwent an MRI on Monday, but it sounds like he avoided a serious injury. It's unclear what his availability will be for next Sunday's date with the Cowboys. Philly will return to practice Wednesday.
