Eagles’ WR A.J. Brown, who worked hard in his rehab to try to make it back this week, is out for Monday night’s wild-card matchup vs. the Bucs due to his sprained knee, per sources. Brown has made enough progress that, if the Eagles advance, he could return for the divisional… pic.twitter.com/CsOBMWgE1q

The line is still holding at -3 in the Eagles’ favor, but A.J. Brown being ruled out should move that at least a half point, in my personal opinion. That’s no disrespect to DeVonta Smith, but Jalen Hurts (with a banged up finger) barely throws the ball to anybody not named Brown, Smith, or Dallas Goedert, so either Julio Jones turns back the clock or Quez Watkins turns last week’s garbage time into momentum, or else this offense is going to be limited.
Also, let’s not do revisionist injury history with the Giants game. The division was on the line last week. Under no circumstances do you sit down your starters and concede the division. You don’t concede the division to the fucking Cowboys. What is wrong with you people?
