Sao Paulo has tightened security ahead Eagles-Packers matchup on Friday night

The Eagles have departed for Sao Paulo, Brazil. Amid reports of players having safety concerns, the South American city has tightened security ahead of the first NFL game in the region, ESPN reports.

The largest country in Latin America, Brazil, will host the game between the Philadelphia Eagles and the Green Bay Packers on Friday at Arena Corinthians in Sao Paulo. This will be the first NFL game held on a Friday evening since 1970.

As the All-Pro said earlier in the week, A.J. Brown had previously made it clear that he was staying in his room.
