Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown suffered a knee injury during the first half of his team’s 28-23 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars. He exited Sunday’s game before the Eagles’ first possession of the second half.
Brown looked banged up after a tackle toward the end of the first half. After an initial, quick visit with Philadelphia’s medical staff, the wideout returned to the huddle for the following play after the two-minute warning.
He played the remaining few minutes of the half and went to the locker room with the rest of the team. However, Brown returned to the locker room with an apparent injury before the Eagles’ offense took the field for the first time in the third quarter. In the minutes afterward, the team declared the star receiver as questionable to return.
