**Philadelphia, PA -** The Philadelphia Eagles will be without one of their top offensive weapons for their Monday night matchup against the Atlanta Falcons. The team announced on Sunday that wide receiver A.J. Brown has been ruled out for the contest due to a hamstring injury.

Brown, who had a stellar start to the season with five catches for 119 yards and a touchdown against the Green Bay Packers, missed Saturday’s practice and will now sit out the NFC clash. This is a significant blow for the Eagles, who were looking to build on their impressive offensive performance against Green Bay.

The Eagles’ offensive firepower was on full display in week one, with Saquon Barkley rushing for 109 yards and three touchdowns and DeVonta Smith hauling in seven catches for 84 yards. With Brown out, Atlanta’s defense will have a slight advantage as they will be able to focus more on stopping Barkley and Smith.

The 27-year-old Brown, a three-time Pro Bowler, is coming off back-to-back seasons with over 1,400 receiving yards. Since joining the Eagles in 2022, he has established himself as one of the league’s top receivers.

While Smith and Barkley will remain key targets for quarterback Jalen Hurts, the Eagles will likely look to Jahan Dotson, a former Washington Commander who boasts 11 touchdown catches in his career, to fill the void left by Brown.

This injury will undoubtedly test the Eagles’ offensive depth, but with their talented core still intact, they will be looking to secure their second win of the season against the Falcons.
