Is AJ Brown playing tonight in the Super Bowl? Exploring Eagles star's status

The Philadelphia Eagles have been one of the top teams in the last handful of seasons and a major factor has been star wide receiver AJ Brown's production since joining the team. He has been able to do incredibly well in a run-heavy offense as he finished the regular season with 67 catches on 97 targets for 1,079 yards (16.1 yards per reception) with seven touchdowns.

This is his second playoff run with the Eagles, having bagged nine catches on 18 targets for 120 yards (13.3 yards per reception) with one receiving touchdown this year. He actually is one of the members of the Eagles who was on the team two years ago when they played the Kansas City Chiefs. He had a strong showing, finishing with six receptions on eight targets for 96 yards and a touchdown.
