After defeating the Green Bay Packers to start the regular season, the Philadelphia Eagles will face the Atlanta Falcons on “Monday Night Football.”
Despite the Falcons’ lackluster performance in a Week 1 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers, they are still considered a formidable opponent and are the favorites to win the NFC South.
Unfortunately for the Eagles, wide receiver A.J. Brown may be sidelined with a hamstring injury, as reported by EJ Smith of The Philadelphia Inquirer.
The absence of the three-time Pro Bowler could put the Eagles at a disadvantage against an improved Atlanta defense led by Matthew Judon and Justin Simmons. However, Philadelphia recently added running back Saquon Barkley, who showed his dual-threat capabilities in Week 1.
If Brown is unable to play, more responsibility will likely fall on DeVonta Smith and Jahan Dotson to lead the Eagles’ receiving corps.
