A.J. Brown injury update: Eagles WR exits game vs. Jaguars

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown suffered a knee injury during the first half of his team’s game against the Jacksonville Jaguars. He exited the 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.

In the minutes afterward, the team declared the star receiver as questionable to return.
