Is AJ Brown playing today? Latest on Eagles WR's status for Fantasy Football Week 4

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver AJ Brown sustained a hamstring issue before the Week 2 game against the Atlanta Falcons and has missed the last two games. However, since he has not been added to the injured reserve list, there was hope he would return in Week 4.

With DeVonta Smith also sidelined with a concussion, the Eagles could be shorthanded for their Week 4 matchup against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Will AJ Brown play against the Bucs in Week 4?

AJ Brown has not participated in any practice since his hamstring injury, and missed Wednesday's session.

Brown was not involved for the Eagles during the walkthrough they held on Wednesday in preparation for their Week 4 clash with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He's not yet been ruled out of Sunday's game, but the signs aren't looking good.

Brown has not engaged in any football-related activities since being listed on the Eagles injury report.

Brown had previously informed ESPN's Lisa Salters that he was going to be out for a few weeks.

Aside from AJ Brown, DeVonta Smith could also miss the game. He sustained a concussion after being hit by defensive tackle Khristian Boyd of the New Orleans Saints. Smith has begun the concussion protocol, but it's unlikely that he will play Sunday's game.

With Britain Covey also sidelined, the Eagles wide receiver options for Week 4 are expected to be limited to Jahan Dotson, Parris Campbell, and rookie Johnny Wilson.

Brown will have another opportunity to prepare for Week 4 on Thursday. He should be eligible for selection if he logs any practice activity today.

That being said, given that the Eagles have a Week 5 bye, it could be prudent for them to exercise caution with both Brown and Smith.

Update on AJ Brown's status for Week 4:

As per new reports, the Eagles WR will not be playing against the Bucs on Sunday due to his hamstring injury.

What happened to AJ Brown?

AJ Brown was placed on the injury report on Sept. 13. The three-time Pro Bowler had a tight hamstring during an afternoon practice as he was getting ready for the Week 2 matchup with the Atlanta Falcons, according to coach Nick Sirianni. He was listed as questionable and then officially ruled out for that game.

Brown missed practice as the Eagles got ready for their Week 3 matchup with the New Orleans Saints and ultimately missed that game as well.

Brown was spectacular in the season opener in Sao Paulo against the Green Bay Packers, with five receptions for 119 yards and a touchdown.
