PHILADELPHIA – Receiver AJ Brown told ESPN reporter Lisa Salters that he is expected to be out for “a couple of weeks” because of his hamstring injury.

The Philadelphia Eagles star added that he does not consider the injury to be serious.

Brown appeared on the injured list Friday after his hamstring “strained up a little bit” during practice, coach Nick Sirianni said, and was later ruled out for Monday night’s 22-21 loss to the Atlanta Falcons.

If the schedule is maintained, the Eagles will be without their star receiver for next week’s game against the New Orleans Saints. Philadelphia then plays at the Tampa Bay Bucs before having a bye in Week 5. With Brown out, receiver Parris Campbell was promoted from the practice squad on Monday. Jahan Dotson and Britain Covey played alongside DeVonta Smith against the Falcons.

Brown, 27, has been a key part of the Eagles’ offense since being signed from the Tennessee Titans in 2022. He became the first player in team history to record over 1,400 receiving yards in two consecutive seasons, setting franchise records for receiving yards in both seasons.

His 2024 season got off to a quick start, as he had five receptions for 119 yards and a touchdown in a Week 1 win over the Green Bay Packers in Sao Paulo, Brazil.
