Eagles’ A.J. Brown Provides Big Health Update Before NFC Championship

The Philadelphia Eagles are in the NFC championship game and one win away from returning to the Super Bowl. Despite back-to-back impressive performances over the Packers and the Rams, the Eagles offense hasn't looked its best in the postseason. The weather certainly has played a part in it but the passing game struggled immensely in the playoffs so far. In order to take home the Lombardi Trophy, the Eagles have to get their wide receivers going.

A.J. Brown has had two uncharacteristically quiet games. He has been dealing with a knee injury that has limited him on the field since Week 15. In two postseason games, he has three catches in 10 targets and 24 yards. He had two big drops against the Rams that could have cost the Eagles the game. For a player who hasn't had a single drop all season, this was certainly concerning.

The star receiver alleviated those concerns on Wednesday when he spoke to the media. When asked about how his latest injury status, Brown said that he was "feeling better and better physically", per Eagles insider Eliot Shorr-Parks.

A.J. Brown Feeling "Better and Better" Ahead of NFC Championship Game

This has been a frustrating season for Brown. He missed his first regular-season games as an Eagle this season with a hamstring injury. In the three games he missed early in the season, the Eagles went 1-2. In his return, he still put together elite production, reeling in 67 catches for 1,079 yards and seven touchdowns in 13 games.

Brown was similarly injured in last season's playoffs missing the Eagles' loss to the Bucs. The fact that he is not 100% for this postseason must be disappointing for the All-Pro pass-catcher but he is seemingly trending in the right direction to go back to his old self.
