NFL's No.1 WR Might Miss Upcoming Preseason Game Due to Injury Concerns
After a dominant showing in the preseason opener where the Eagles defeated the Bengals, star wide receiver A.J. Brown may be sidelined for the upcoming matchup against the Cleveland Browns. The reason? A minor hamstring concern reportedly stemming from overexertion during recent practices and the previous game.
Brown was held out of the latest practice session, and Eagles coaching staff are reportedly considering resting him to ensure he's fully healthy for the regular season. While the injury isn’t considered serious, the team is playing it safe with their most valuable weapon in the passing game.
“I always want to be out there—any chance I get,” Brown said. “I love the game, I love connecting with my teammates. But I know it’s a long season, and I need to be at my best when it matters most.”
The All-Pro wideout, who led the league in receiving yards last season, showed both maturity and team-first mentality in his comments.
“I don’t want to miss a single moment,” he added. “But sometimes, to give everything when it really counts, you have to learn when to pull back a little. I’ll be ready when the real season kicks off.”
With Brown likely sitting out, the Eagles will have a chance to test their depth at wide receiver and give young players a spotlight. Even off the field, A.J. Brown remains one of the most influential voices and leaders on this Eagles team.
