Use of Eagles WR AJ Brown (thighs) on Monday against the Falcons questionable

The three-time Pro Bowler has not missed a game since joining the Eagles in 2022 and has proven to be as exceptional as he is healthy. Brown entered his third season in Philly colors with 194 receptions, 2,952 yards and 18 touchdowns for the club.

In all of these categories, he was the team's best receiver last season and was on par with Devonta Smith with seven receiving TDs.

If Brown misses the contest, Smith will be Jalen Hurts' No. 1 target by a long shot. In the season opener against the Packers, he played primarily out of the slot, running 26 of his 35 routes according to Next Gen Stats, but in a larger role he would likely move around a bit more.

Tight end Dallas Goedert and running back Saquon Barkley would also need to improve their passing game, as would newly arrived wide receiver Jahan Dotson, who caught just one pass in 32 snaps in his Eagles debut last week but failed to catch a ball.

The Eagles have the means to compensate for this should have to suspend Brown in a game at the beginning of the season – however, such a situation would not be ideal.

Philadelphia and Atlanta start on Monday at 8:15 p.m.
