Eagles' AJ Brown Out Versus Giants Due to Hamstring Injury

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown has expressed frustration over his inconsistent usage in the team's offense, which is struggling under new coordinator Kevin Patullo. Despite a standout Week 7 performance with 121 yards and two touchdowns, Brown's overall production this season has been below expectations, partially due to quarterback Jalen Hurts' difficulties in zone coverage and timing issues. Brown is currently sidelined with a hamstring injury and has been ruled out for the upcoming game against the New York Giants, marking the first game he has missed this season. The Eagles' offense has historically performed significantly better with Brown on the field, and his absence poses a major challenge as they prepare for a bye week following the Giants game. Meanwhile, the Eagles are managing other injuries, including center Cam Jurgens and defensive end Brandon Graham, further testing their depth. Although trade rumors have surrounded Brown, Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie stated that any decisions will prioritize the team's best chance to win, suggesting a trade is unlikely at this time.
