Brown did not take part in the Philadelphia Eagles' first training session of the week on Thursday. The wideout has an unspecified status for the first-round playoff game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
#Update: Brown has been ruled out of the NFC Showdown against the Buccaneers.
The Eagles will host two more practices before they face Tampa Bay. Last season's Super Bowl runners-up will be sweating on Brown's fitness, especially since the receiver is an integral part of their offense.
If Brown is unable to prove his fitness in the next two days, he could miss the trip to Tampa.
