Brown did not practice on Wednesday and was listed on the Eagles injury reports with a knee injury. However, Philly also mentioned that they wanted to give the receiver a rest, along with some other key players. Later in the day, Brown addressed his injury, saying that he will practice on Thursday.

"I felt fine after the game. I kept out clean. All part of the plan. I'll be out there tomorrow ... I was fine (in the game) moving around fine. I was open," Brown said.
