Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown has been ruled out for the upcoming wild-card game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers due to a sprained knee. Brown did not participate in practices throughout the week after sustaining the injury in the season finale. The injury marks his first absence from an Eagles game since January 2022. Despite the setback, there is optimism that Brown could return for the divisional round if the Eagles advance. Head coach Nick Sirianni confirmed Brown's absence, stating it was going to be a stretch for him to play. The team's preparation for the Buccaneers game has also been impacted by safety Reed Blankenship's groin injury, leaving his status for the game as questionable since he did not practice this week and was seen not participating during warm-ups.
Reed Blankenship was on the field a while ago testing out his injured groin, but he's just watching the other DBs warm-up now. The #Eagles safety was listed questionable coming into tonight's game at the Bucs, even though he didn't practice last week. Looks like he's a no go.
