"Have I said to not being here or something like that?"AJ Brown began his NFL journey with the Tennessee Titans in 2019. In 2022, the Eagles acquired him via a trade. The WR agreed to a four-year deal worth $100 million before signing a three-year $96 million extension in April 2024.
This season, Brown has played in seven games for the Eagles. He has recorded 395 yards and five TDs receiving while being targeted 51 times on the field. Things have been improving for the WR on the field with each game. However, he suffered a hamstring injury, resulting in him missing out on their 38-20 victory over the Giants in Week 8.
Brown was a full participant during Thursday's practice session. He said that he will be ready to take the field during Monday's game against the Green Bay Packers.
