Brown caught one of three targets for 10 yards in Sunday's 22-10 wild-card round win over the Packers.
The Eagles' offense didn't really need to do much after jumping out to a 10-0 lead in the first quarter, but Brown's lack of volume was still curious. Tight end Dallas Goedert wound up leading the team with six targets, however, with Brown finishing third behind DeVonta Smith's four. Brown hasn't received fewer than six targets in consecutive games all year, so chances are good that Philly's leading receiver will be much more involved in the divisional round after posting a 67-1,079-7 line in only 13 regular-season contests.

Eagles' A.J. Brown: Avoids injury designation
Rotowire
Brown (knee/rest) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Packers.
QB Jalen Hurts (concussion) and WR DeVonta Smith (back) also avoided injury designations, ensuring the Eagles will have all 11 starters on offense available this Sunday. The Green Bay defense isn't quite as healthy, notably missing top cornerback Jaire Alexander (knee), but the unit has mostly played well this season even with Alexander being unavailable more often than not.

Eagles' A.J. Brown: Back at practice Friday
Rotowire
Brown (knee) is participating in Friday's practice, Martin Frank of The Delaware News Journal reports.
Brown was limited in practice Wednesday then sat out Thursday's session, so it's encouraging to see him back on the field in some capacity Friday. Meanwhile, DeVonta Smith is not practicing Friday due to back tightness, but he's expected to be available for Sunday's wild-card round matchup against the Packers, while Jalen Hurts has cleared the concussion protocol. Friday's official injury report will reveal whether Brown's status is truly uncertain for Sunday's game, or whether his missed practices have been more related to maintenance.

Eagles' A.J. Brown: Officially DNP on Thursday
Rotowire
Brown (knee/rest) didn't take part in practice Thursday.
After not being seen at the open part of Thursday's session, Brown officially went down as a non-participant, one day removed from logging a limited practice due to knee and rest. The absence may have been related to maintenance of the knee issue that has lingered since Week 16 prep, and there's an expectation from the Eagles that he'll be available for Sunday's wild-card game versus the Packers, according to Tim McManus of ESPN.com. Friday's injury report will unveil whether or not Brown enters the weekend with a designation ahead of Philadelphia's playoff opener.

Eagles' A.J. Brown: Not seen at practice
Rotowire
Brown (knee/rest) wasn't spotted during the media-access portion of Thursday's practice, Jeff McLane of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
After Wednesday's session, Brown was listed as limited due to knee/rest, which has been the norm for the wide receiver stretching back to Week 16 prep. While he played Weeks 16 and 17, he was held out of the Eagles' regular-season finale against the Giants along with a number of other starters. According to Jeff McLane of The Philadelphia Inquirer, there's an expectation that Brown will suit up for Sunday's wild-card game against the Packers, so his potential absence Thursday may be related to maintenance. Philadelphia's upcoming injury report ultimately will reveal Brown's activity level, or lack thereof.

Eagles' A.J. Brown: Not playing in Week 18
Rotowire
Brown (knee) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Giants.
Though he was listed as doubtful with a knee injury before being included on the Eagles' 11-player inactive list, Brown's absence is likely rest-related more than anything. The Eagles are locked into the No. 2 seed in the NFC playoffs and won't expose Brown to an injury in a meaningless regular-season finale. Brown should be ready to play a full complement of snaps in the Eagles' wild-card game against a yet-to-be-determined opponent.

Eagles' A.J. Brown: Listed as doubtful
Rotowire
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: 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

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.
