The Philadelphia Eagles got some great news ahead of their Week 4 game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Pro Bowl wide receiver A.J. Brown was back at practice for the first time since he was injured in Week 1, according to Eliot Shorr-Parks of 94 WIP Sports Radio.
If Jalen Hurts has Brown back on the road this week, it would be a huge lift.
Before Brown injured his hamstring against the Green Bay Packers, he recorded five receptions for 119 yards and a touchdown.
The six-year veteran is one of the best wide receivers in the league when healthy.
In four of his first five NFL seasons, he has recorded more than 1,000 receiving yards.
He emerged as a very good player while with the Tennessee Titans and has become a superstar with the Eagles.
In the two games he has missed this season, Philadelphia has underperformed offensively.
It lost in Week 2 to the Atlanta Falcons by one point and then defeated the New Orleans Saints after putting up just 15 points.
The combination of Brown and fellow 1,000-yard receiver DeVonta Smith might be the best wide receiver duo in the NFL.
With Smith possibly sidelined by a concussion, having Brown back might get the Eagles offense back to its dominant ways against the team that ended their season last January in the wild-card round of the playoffs.
