AJ Brown out of practice Thursday, Eagles expect to play Sunday

Wide receiver AJ Brown was a limited participant in Wednesday’s practice, and his level of participation dropped on Thursday.

Brown was listed on the injury report Wednesday with a knee problem, and reporters noted that he left a session with a member of the team’s coaching staff early. Brown was not on the field at all for Thursday’s practice as the team continued to work ahead of Sunday’s home game against the Packers.

According to multiple reports, the Eagles expect Brown to play against Green Bay and the team is managing his work during the week to get him as healthy as possible for the start of the game.

Brown’s status will get another update on Friday when the Eagles practice and issue injury tags, but it appears the Eagles will have a key offensive lineman operating at less than 100 percent.
