Eagles wide receiver AJ Brown isn’t the only Philadelphia star injured. Quarterback Jalen Hurts dislocated his throwing middle finger last Sunday against the New York Giants. Wide receiver DeVonta Smith missed last week’s game with an ankle injury, and running back D’Andre Swift missed the game against the Giants due to illness.
Starting guard Cam Jurgens also suffered an eye injury against the Giants, and safety Reed Blankenship also suffered a groin injury. To make matters worse, starting rookie safety Sidney Brown tore his ACL and missed the game against the Bucks.
Brown apparently takes his injury situation pretty seriously.on friday He deleted all mentions and mentions of the Eagles on his Instagram account and also deleted his X (formerly known as Twitter) account.
That’s not much of a distraction considering the fact that he didn’t play in the wild card game, but what does it say about Brown’s long-term prospects with the Eagles? Is he upset that he had to play in Week 18, or is he just upset about the fact that he got hurt against the Giants?
