After missing Monday’s game against the Atlanta Falcons due to a hamstring injury sustained during practice on Friday, Philadelphia Eagles receiver AJ 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):

Per @saltersl On Monday Night Football, she spoke to AJ Brown about his hamstring injury. “He doesn’t think it’s that bad, but he expects to be out for a few weeks.”
The injury occurred on Friday while running a training course.

This news comes amid reports that the Eagles expected Brown back on the field soon.

NFL Network’s Mike Garafolo reported before Monday Night Football that the Eagles “maybe could have pushed him to play tonight,” but decided it wasn’t worth it. Instead, they’ll hope Brown returns for Week 3 on Sunday.

“They didn’t put him on the injured list, which shows that they believe it’s a short-term absence,” Garafolo said. “From what I understand, they’re hoping it’s a very short-term absence and he’ll be back playing right away for the next game.”

This article will be updated shortly to provide more information and analysis.
