There was no "private meeting" between Brown, Jalen Hurts and Saquon Barkley as initially reported elsewhere, Jay Glazer reported on Fox NFL Sunday. Instead, Brown saw Hurts and Barkley talking in the parking lot and walked over to join them.
This comes with the territory for a big market team that's the defending Super Bowl champs, but the drama surrounding the Eagles' key offensive players has been exhausting. However, it's prudent to remember how the Eagles' offense was also off-kilter at this point in the season last year, too.

Eagles' A.J. Brown: Solid showing in upset loss
Rotowire
Brown brought in six of nine targets for 80 yards in the Eagles' 34-17 loss to the Giants on Thursday night.
Brown finished second across the board in receptions, receiving yards and targets to Dallas Goedert for the Eagles on the night, tying a season high in catches as well. Brown also recorded his first catch of 20-plus yards since Week 3, and he extended his streak of games with at least eight targets to five contests. He has at least five receptions in four of the last five games, so, despite all the talk about his reduced role in the offense, the star wideout remains an integral figure in Philadelphia's air attack heading into a Week 7 road matchup against the Vikings on Sunday, Oct. 19.

Eagles' A.J. Brown: Five catches in close loss
Rotowire
Brown brought in five of eight targets for 43 yards in the Eagles' 21-17 loss to the Broncos on Sunday.
Brown finished second in receptions and third in targets during a busy day for the Eagles' passing attack, but he averaged just 8.6 yards per grab against Denver's tough defense. Brown's reception and receiving yardage tallies were his second highest of the season, but through five games, he has just a single touchdown catch and only one game of more than 43 receiving yards as well. Brown won't have to wait long for his next opportunity to put an end to that unfavorable trend, as he draws a favorable Week 6 road matchup against the Giants on Thursday night.

Eagles' A.J. Brown: Sleepers (Start/Sit)
Rotowire
Brown was unhappy following Week 4 against Tampa Bay when he caught two passes for 7 yards, but he had nine targets. He can't say the Eagles didn't try to get him the ball, and he has 19 targets in his past two games against the Rams and Buccaneers. For the season, Brown only has one game with more than 7.7 PPR points, and it's hard to expect a standout performance in Week 5 against the Broncos, where he will likely see a lot of Denver cornerback Patrick Surtain II. I'm still starting Brown in three-receiver leagues, but this is a terrible matchup for him against this defense.

Eagles' A.J. Brown: Forgettable numbers in loss
Rotowire
Brown brought in two of nine targets for seven yards in the Eagles' 31-25 win over the Buccaneers on Sunday.
After coming to life with a 6-109-1 line against the Rams in Week 3, Brown's production slumped again. The veteran wideout's yardage total was a new season low and his second single-digit yardage figure over the first four games of 2025. Jalen Hurts did try to get the ball in Brown's hands however, and he has 27 targets in his last three contests. Brown could struggle once again to build momentum as the Broncos' suffocating secondary comes to town next Sunday afternoon for a tough Week 5 matchup.

Eagles' A.J. Brown: Breaks out of early-season slump
Rotowire
Brown recorded six receptions on 10 targets for 109 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 33-26 win over the Rams.
The Eagles had taken to the air sparingly in the first two weeks of this season, and Brown entered the game with 35 total yards from scrimmage. However, Philadelphia fell behind early against the Rams, and Jalen Hurts had to attempt 32 passes in a comeback effort, allowing Brown to get more opportunity. He turned that into several highlight-worthy plays, including a 38-yard catch deep down the right sideline early in the third quarter and a nine-yard touchdown catch one possession later. It's no surprise that Brown was productive when given the chance, and the Eagles could be pushed once again in a Week 4 matchup against the Bucs.

Eagles' A.J. Brown: Gets more involved in Week 2
Rotowire
Brown finished with five receptions on eight targets for 27 yards in Sunday's 20-17 win over the Chiefs.
This was certainly an improvement over last week's one-catch showing, but the end result was still poor from a fantasy perspective. DeVonta Smith (4-53-0) finished as the Eagles' leading receiver with Brown leading the team in targets (eight) and receptions (five). Philadelphia's run-heavy offense to kick off the 2025 season is the main culprit for the entire receiving corps posting paltry totals through two games. Perhaps Brown and the rest of the Eagles' aerial attack will finally take off in what could be a high-scoring affair against the Rams next Sunday.

Eagles' A.J. Brown: Nearly blanked in Week 1 win
Rotowire
Brown secured his only target for eight yards in the Eagles' 24-20 win over the Cowboys on Thursday night.
Brown's near shutout was alarming considering his typical importance to the Eagles' air attack, but both passing games were relatively subdued in the opener. While Brown garnered plenty of defensive attention, Dallas Goedert and Jahan Dotson appeared to be the biggest beneficiaries, and Brown finally got on the board with a timely eight-yard grab with 1:51 remaining to set up a game-sealing Jalen Hurts four-yard scramble. Needless to say, stat lines like Thursday's should be few and far between for Brown this season, and he's a virtual lock to be exponentially more involved a Week 2 road Super Bowl rematch with the Chiefs on Sunday, Sept. 14.

Eagles' A.J. Brown: Ready for Week 1
Rotowire
Brown (hamstring) doesn't appear on the Eagles' injury report ahead of Thursday's game against the Cowboys.
The same applies to DeVonta Smith (groin), which paves the way for the Eagles' top two wideouts to be available for Week 1 action. Brown is coming off a 2024 regular season in which he recorded a 67-1,079-7 line on 97 targets in 13 contests and is in line to continue in his key role in a Philadelphia passing offense that runs largely through him, Smith and TE Dallas Goedert.

Eagles' A.J. Brown: Running routes pre-game
Rotowire
Brown (hamstring) went through a pregame workout Friday, John Clark of NBC Philadelphia reports.
Brown has been managing a hamstring injury since the first week of August, with no indication so far that it's considered a threat to his Week 1 availability. Fantasy managers will feel much better if he returns to full practice participation soon, but Friday's video of the pregame workout suggests Brown's hamstring is feeling much better, running routes and catching passes at close to full speed.

Eagles' A.J. Brown: Could practice next week
Rotowire
Brown (hamstring) is not participating in Tuesday's practice, Martin Frank of The Delaware News Journal reports.
The star wideout is sitting out another practice, though offensive coordinator Kevin Patullo said when the training staff "is ready to cut him loose, he'll be cut loose," which could occur next week. Brown managed to get in two limited practices to begin last week, and the Eagles simply seem to be taking a cautious approach to his recovery. There doesn't seem to be any concern about his availability for Week 1, but expect him to sit out Friday's preseason finale against the Jets.

Eagles' A.J. Brown: Sitting out Monday's practice
Rotowire
Brown (hamstring) is not practicing Monday, Dave Zangaro of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.
Brown got in a handful of limited practices last week, but he's now been listed as a DNP since last Wednesday. The Eagles seem to simply be taking a cautious approach to the star wide receiver's recovery, and he doesn't seem to be in consideration for the team's preseason finale against the Jets on Friday. At this stage, though, Philadelphia hasn't indicated any signs of concern about Brown's availability for Week 1 against the Cowboys on Thursday, Sept. 4.

Eagles' A.J. Brown: Not practicing Wednesday
Rotowire
Brown (hamstring) isn't in uniform for Wednesday's joint practice with the Browns, Dave Zangaro of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.
Brown returned Sunday after missing a week, but he still hasn't been a full participant, making him highly unlikely to play in Saturday's preseason game even if the Eagles use other starters against the Browns. There doesn't seem to be any concern about Brown's Week 1 availability at this point.

Eagles' A.J. Brown: Another limited practice
Rotowire
Brown (hamstring) will be a limited practice participant Tuesday, Tim McManus of ESPN.com reports.
Brown returned to practice Sunday after missing a week of training camp. He isn't back to full participation yet and may not play in the preseason, but his quick return to practice -- even in a limited capacity -- suggests the Eagles aren't worried about his hamstring injury.

Eagles' A.J. Brown: Returns to practice Sunday
Rotowire
Brown (hamstring) returned to practice Sunday, Eliot Shorr-Parks of Sports Radio 94 WIP Philadelphia reports.
It remains to be seen whether Brown's able to participate without limitations, but this nonetheless marks a step in the right direction as he works his way back from a hamstring injury that had sidelined him for the past week. The Eagles have little reason to rush Brown's recovery process, and there have been no indications that his availability for the Thursday, Sept. 4 regular-season opener against the Cowboys is in any danger.

Eagles' A.J. Brown: Still not practicing
Rotowire
Brown (hamstring) will not participate in Saturday's training camp practice, Martin Frank of The Delaware News Journal reports.
Brown continues to work through a hamstring injury, which caused him to observe Thursday's preseason game against the Bengals on the sidelines. He'll have two more opportunities to see preseason action ahead of the Eagles' regular-season opener against the Cowboys on Thursday, Sept. 4. With Brown and Terrace Marshall (knee) sidelined, Johnny Wilson and Ainias Smith will continue to rotate in three-wideout sets with the first-team offense alongside DeVonta Smith and Jahan Dotson.

Eagles' A.J. Brown: Sitting out Thursday
Rotowire
Brown (hamstring) isn't suited up for Thursday's preseason game versus the Bengals, Brooks Kubena of The Athletic reports.
Brown was held out the Eagles' three practices in advance of their exhibition opener due to a hamstring injury, so it comes as no surprise that he'll sit out Thursday. He'll have two more chances for preseason action ahead of Week 1, which Philadelphia will open on Thursday, Sept. 4 against the Cowboys.

Eagles' A.J. Brown: Managing hamstring injury
Rotowire
Brown isn't practicing Sunday due to a hamstring issue, Andrew DiCecco of InsideTheBirds.com reports.
Per Eliot Shorr-Parks of Sports Radio 94 WIP Philadelphia, Brown also missed the second half of practice Friday. The severity of the hamstring injury isn't clear, but Philadelphia figures to be cautious with the star wideout given that the regular season is still over a month away. In better news for the Eagles' wideout corps, DeVonta Smith returned to practice Sunday after missing a few days with a tight back.
