Brown (knee/rest) practiced in a limited capacity Thursday. Brown similarly showed up on the Eagles' second practice report last week as limited with knee/rest before entering the weekend clear of a designation for this past Sunday's game at Washington. He proceeded to play all 74 snaps in the team's overtime loss on his way to eight catches (on 15 targets) for 97 yards and one touchdown while working most of the contest with Kenny Pickett (ribs) in place of Jalen Hurts (concussion) under center. Pickett seems poised to start for Hurts this weekend considering the latter hasn't practiced this week, so assuming Brown is able to suit up Sunday versus the Cowboys, he again should be on the receiving end of passes from Pickett.

Brown (knee/rest) practiced in a limited capacity Thursday. Brown similarly showed up on the Eagles' second practice report last week as limited with knee/rest before entering the weekend clear of a designation for this past Sunday's game at Washington. He proceeded to play all 74 snaps in the team's overtime loss on his way to eight catches (on 15 targets) for 97 yards and one touchdown while working most of the contest with Kenny Pickett (ribs) in place of Jalen Hurts (concussion) under center. Pickett seems poised to start for Hurts this weekend considering the latter hasn't practiced this week, so assuming Brown is able to suit up Sunday versus the Cowboys, he again should be on the receiving end of passes from Pickett.
Brown caught eight of 15 targets for 97 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 36-33 loss to the Commanders. The star wideout put together his second straight strong performance, but this time Brown did it with Kenny Pickett (ribs) under center for most of the afternoon -- including for a four-yard TD in the first quarter -- after Jalen Hurts (concussion) left the game early. Pickett also got hurt late in the contest, which means the Eagles could potentially have to turn to 2023 sixth-round pick Tanner McKee at quarterback in Week 17 against the Cowboys. Brown demonstrated he could work with Pickett with no significant issues, but McKee has yet to attempt a pass in the NFL, and he would represent a massive downgrade for the entire Philly offense.
Brown (knee) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game at Washington. He never appeared in real danger of missing the game, listed under knee/rest after a limited practice Thursday. Brown was limited again at Friday's practice but should be ready for his usual workload this Sunday as the Eagles look to clinch the NFC East.
Brown (knee) said Friday that he'll play Sunday at Washington, Andrew DiCecco of InsideTheBirds.com reports. As expected, given that the Eagles listed his injury as knee/rest after a limited practice Thursday. Brown wasn't on Wednesday's report and doesn't sound worried about his knee.
Brown (knee/rest) was limited in Thursday's practice. Brown was listed as a non-participant at Wednesday's walk-through due to rest, so having his knee included as a reason for practice restrictions one day later indicates his health is compromised somewhat. The wideout was on the receiving end of an apparent hip-drop tackle and was slow to get to his feet late in this past Sunday's win against the Steelers. With an injury now evident, Brown's status will be monitored in advance of Sunday's Week 16 road matchup versus the Commanders.
Brown recorded eight receptions on 11 targets for 110 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 27-13 win over the Steelers. Brown made headlines throughout the week after being critical of Philadelphia's passing offense, but he did his part to quiet that storyline by hauling in a season-best eight receptions while topping 100 yards for the fifth time in 11 contests. His performance was highlighted by long receptions 21, 20, 19 and 17 yards as well as a five-yard touchdown late in the first quarter. Brown's strong performance was almost soured late in the game when he got up slowly after an apparent hip-drop tackle, though he was spotted moving fine in the locker room following the win, per Eliot Shorr-Parks of Sports Radio 94 WIP Philadelphia.
Brown caught all four of his targets for 43 yards in Sunday's 22-16 win over the Panthers. The fifth-year wideout tied for his lowest target volume of the season, but Brown still led the Eagles in receiving yards on a day in which Jalen Hurts threw for just 108 yards. With Saquon Barkley clearly the focal point of the Philly offense, it's become harder for Brown to make a big impact, and he's scored only one TD over the last seven games while posting a 32-512-1 line on 42 targets. He'll try to turn things around in Week 15 against the Steelers.
Brown caught five of six targets for 66 yards in Sunday's 24-19 win over the Ravens. Brown accounted for 66 of Jalen Hurts' 104 first-half passing yards, but Hurts threw for only 14 yards after halftime, with none of those going to Brown. While Brown has at least 65 receiving yards in eight of nine appearances this season, this was a disappointing performance from the star wideout considering the Ravens came into Sunday with the second-most receiving yards and second-most receiving touchdowns allowed to wide receivers. Brown will look to bounce back in Week 14 against the Panthers.
Brown hauled in six of seven targets for 109 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 37-20 win over the Rams. Brown tied his previous season-best mark of six receptions while recording his fourth 100-plus yard game in the process. The 27-year-old now sports a 39-727-4 receiving line through eight active games, which is a tick below the averages of 97 receptions, 1,476 yards and nine touchdowns the wideout averaged in his first two seasons with Philadelphia. Brown should continue to be treated as WR1 in fantasy when the Eagles take on the Ravens next Sunday.
