Philadelphia, PA – The Philadelphia Eagles faced a tough loss against the Atlanta Falcons on Monday night, falling 22-21 in a match that highlighted the team’s struggle without star wide receiver A.J. Brown. After the game, head coach Nick Sirianni addressed the media regarding Brown’s ongoing hamstring injury, which has left fans and the team uncertain about his return.
Brown, who had an impressive performance in the first week against the Green Bay Packers with 5 receptions for 119 yards and 1 touchdown, was sorely missed as the Eagles tried to rally against the Falcons. Sirianni admitted, “I don’t know exactly how long he’ll be out yet, we’ll be constantly evaluating him.” His remarks reflect the coach’s concern for one of the league’s standout players, who greatly influences the Eagles’ offensive strategy.
The absence of Brown was particularly felt during the last-minute loss, as Sirianni faced criticism for some tactical decisions that could not protect their lead. The 27-year-old receiver had a stellar season last year, recording 106 receptions for 1,456 yards and seven touchdowns. Without him, the Eagles are now left to adjust their game plan.
In a recent conversation with reporters, Brown indicated that he “will be out for a couple of weeks,” but details on when he might return remain unclear. Some expect that the wide receiver may be back by Week 5, when the Eagles are set to take on the Cleveland Browns at Lincoln Financial Field on October 13.
As the Eagles stand at 1-1 after their season opener in Brazil and this latest defeat, they have challenging games ahead and will need to find ways to fill the gap left by Brown’s injury. The team and fans alike are hoping for a quick recovery so that he can return to the field and contribute to the Eagles’ success this season.
