Barring any late injury or setback, A.J. Brown will play against the Packers on Sunday. The Eagles receiver is active on the team roster and is expected to suit up for the wild-card contest.

Brown was on the injury report this week with a knee injury, but the Eagles also said they were giving the star receiver a rest. He was a limited participant in practice on Wednesday, did not practice on Thursday, but logged in to a full practice session on Friday. Thus, all signs point toward Brown playing on Sunday.

The Tennessee Titans picked Brown in the second round of the 2019 NFL draft. He played three seasons with the Titans before signing for the Eagles in 2022. Since joining Philly, Brown has become one of the team's key offensive weapons.

How has A.J. Brown performed this season?

Brown has played in 13 games for the Eagles this season. The wideout has tallied 1,079 yards and seven touchdowns on 67 receptions. Brown missed three games during the season due to a hamstring injury. He was also rested during Philly's Week 18 win over the New York Giants.

Brown has forged an excellent partnership with quarterback Jalen Hurts, and the two will need to be at their best when the Eagles welcome Green Bay on Sunday.
