A.J. Brown, the Philadelphia Eagles’ top receiver, is sidelined with a hamstring injury, missing practice ahead of their Monday game against the Atlanta Falcons.
Rookie Johnny Wilson, seen as a natural replacement due to his similar frame, is also dealing with a hamstring issue, further complicating the Eagles’ receiving depth. With only three healthy receivers, the team may turn to veteran Parris Campbell from the practice squad. Brown’s absence raises concerns about the Eagles’ offensive performance heading into Week 2.
With both A.J. Brown and rookie Johnny Wilson sidelined due to hamstring injuries, the Eagles are left with only three fully healthy receivers heading into Week 2. Veteran Parris Campbell, currently on the practice squad, is expected to be called up, but concerns about offensive depth remain. The Eagles’ offense previously struggled without Brown, notably losing a 32-9 playoff game where they looked ineffective. The team will need to find answers quickly to avoid a similar scenario against the Falcons.
The Eagles can’t afford excuses against the Falcons, especially with both A.J. Brown and Johnny Wilson out due to hamstring injuries. Wilson’s absence will also impact the team’s run blocking, which could further hinder their offensive game plan. With only three healthy wide receivers and Parris Campbell likely stepping up, the team will need to find solutions quickly to maintain offensive effectiveness.
