A.J. Brown, the wide receiver for the Philadelphia Eagles, has been ruled out of the upcoming playoff game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers due to a knee sprain sustained in Week 18. The Eagles, seeded No. 5 in the playoffs, are facing a significant setback as they strive to regain momentum following crucial losses towards the end of the season. With their primary receiver, Brown, sidelined for the playoff fixture, the team faces a challenging task.

The knee injury was incurred during the Week 18 game against the New York Giants, forcing Brown to miss the first round of the NFL playoffs. Despite the division being at stake, the Eagles had to field their starters, especially with DeVonta Smith already sidelined due to injury. Unfortunately, Brown’s injury in the first quarter adds to the team’s woes.
