After missing Monday's game against the Atlanta Falcons due to a hamstring injury suffered in practice on Friday, Philadelphia Eagles receiver A.J. Brown believes this could be the start of an extended absence.
The wideout explained the situation to ESPN's Lisa Salters (h/t Field Yates):
This news comes amid reports the Eagles were expecting Brown back on the field soon.
NFL Network's Mike Garafolo reported ahead of Monday Night Football that the Eagles "maybe could have pushed him to play tonight," but decided it wasn't worth it. Instead, they'll look for Brown to return for Week 3 on Sunday.
