Eagles Rule Out A.J. Brown for Week 8 and Are Not Expected to Trade Him

Philadelphia signals no trade before the deadline with a post-bye return viewed as realistic.

Overview

  • Brown missed all three practices this week with a hamstring injury before being declared out against the Giants.
  • The Eagles activated rookie wide receiver Darius Cooper to the 53-man roster to bolster depth at the position.
  • Philadelphia also ruled out center Cam Jurgens (knee), edge rusher Azeez Ojulari (hamstring), cornerback Adoree' Jackson (concussion) and defensive end Brandon Graham.
  • ESPN reports the Eagles would only consider a blockbuster offer for Brown, and multiple teams are monitoring the situation.
  • Reporting from ESPN indicates Brown could return as early as Nov. 10 at Green Bay following the team’s Week 9 bye.
