However, it appears they <a href="https://x.com/JamesPalmerTV/status/1843361422274879672" rel="noopener">will get the duo back</a> for Week 6.</p><p>Via James Palmer:</p><p>“My understanding is the Eagles are expecting to have their top WRs A.J. Brown (hamstring) and DeVonta Smith (concussion) back this week vs the Browns.”</p><p>Brown has missed three straight games with a hamstring injury that happened after a Week 1 win in Brazil over the Green Bay Packers. The Eagles are definitely being cautious with their top wideout who is crucial to this team’s success. In the season opener, Brown reeled in five catches for 119 yards and a touchdown. Hamstring issues can take a while to heal as well. By the time Week 6 rolls around, it’ll be over a month since he last suited up.</p><p>As for Smith, he took a hard hit against the New Orleans Saints in Week 3 and was put in concussion protocol. <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/eagles-news-aj-brown-devonta-smith-status-week-4">The former Alabama standout missed Week 4 versus the Tampa Bay Buccaneers</a>. Smith’s role was larger with Brown out, collecting a team-high 21 receptions for 239 yards and a touchdown.</p><p>Philadelphia’s offense was extremely depleted without their two best WRs in Week 4 and it hurt them. <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/eagles-most-to-blame-for-week-4-loss-to-buccaneers">The Eagles were smashed 33-16</a> by the Buccaneers, with quarterback Jalen Hurts producing just 158 passing yards. Saquon Barkley dominated on the ground but the pass game was non-existent for the Birds.</p><p>At 2-2, Nick Sirianni’s squad has to start playing better. Getting back a pair of key offensive pieces should definitely help. Brown and Smith are two of the best wideouts in the league. The Browns, their Week 6 opponent, currently sit at 1-4. The Eagles haven’t played Cleveland since 2020, losing 22-17. Kick-off on Sunday is scheduled for 1 PM ET at Lincoln Financial Field in the City of Brotherly Love.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

The 2-1 Eagles enter the matchup off a hard-fought Week 3 15-12 win over the New Orleans Saints. Philadelphia is dealing with some injury woes, and the team’s update on star wide receiver AJ Brown only increased their struggles ahead of Sunday’s Tampa Bay game.</p><p>Brown has been battling a hamstring ailment, and his <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/eagles-news-aj-brown-devonta-smith-status-week-4">status for Sunday was up in the air</a>. However, the Eagles have downgraded Brown to <a href="https://twitter.com/TomPelissero/status/1840119474160128029" rel="noopener">an “out” status</a> for the game, per Tom Pelissero of NFL Network. Hopefully, Brown will undergo a safe and efficient recovery.</p><p>AJ Brown has not played since Philly’s Sep. 6 win over the Green Bay Packers. In his lone 2024 appearance, Brown amassed 119 yards and one touchdown on five receptions. The three-time Pro Bowler entered the 2024 season highly touted after amassing 1,456 parts and 7 TDs in his previous campaign. The Eagles will have to find a way to battle with Brown’s services again.</p><p>In addition to Brown, Devonta Smith is ruled out against the Buccaneers. Philly may be down two of their best receivers, but they have stout help in the backfield to get them over the hump.</p><p><a href="https://clutchpoints.com/eagles-news-saquon-barkley-private-call-giants-gm-hard-knocks">Former New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley</a> was electric for the Eagles in Week 3 versus the Saints. He rushed for 147 yards and two touchdowns on 16 carries. On the season, Barkley has amassed a league-leading 351 yards and four TDs on 63 carries. The star running back will be huge for the Eagles against Tampa Bay.</p><p>Of course, leading the Eagles will be Jalen Hurts. Hurts will not have as many targets to throw to on Sunday, but that has not stopped giving his best effort. Philadelphia’s other receivers and tight ends will help pick up the slack and help the team’s offense while Brown and Smith recover.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

On the other hand, DeVonta Smith was put in concussion protocol after taking a big hit in the Saints’ game, and his status for Week 4 is in doubt. The NFL fined Khristian Boyd $4,600 for his hit on Smith.</p><p>As of now, it looks like the Eagles and Jalen Hurts will have to step up, and they still have the talent to win games while their top options are out. The Eagles have some options on offense that can help take the pressure off of Hurts, and they made some big plays already in Week 3.</p><p>Running back Saquon Barkley had a big touchdown run that gave them the lead in the fourth quarter, and tight end Dallas Goedert essentially won the Eagles the game with his catch late in the game that got them down in the redzone.</p><p>Other players on the team such as Paris Campbell and Jahan Dotson are going to need to step up if the Eagles want to make up for their injuries. It’ll be a tough road test against the Buccaneers, so it would be interesting to see if they can stay competitive.

He is expected to be sidelined for several weeks while the injury heals, adding to the team’s growing list of key absences.</p><p>Covey <a href="https://x.com/JFMcMullen/status/1839358997108842681" rel="noopener">won’t require surgery</a> but is struggling with daily activities, including sleeping and caring for his child, due to the injury, according to Eagles insider John McMullen.</p><p>“Just caught up with Britain Covey,” McMullen wrote on his X account. “Confirmed a broken scapula. Expects to miss six weeks or so but no surgery. Painful injury. He said sleeping is tough and daddy duty is more difficult. Has been sitting next to Cooper DeJean in ST meetings since the spring. Expects the rookie to be ready at PR.”</p><p>The <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/3-eagles-reasons-for-concern-after-narrow-week-3-victory-over-saints">Eagles are already grappling with injuries</a> to key players, including wide receiver A.J. Brown, who has missed the last two games due to a hamstring issue, and DeVonta Smith, who sustained a concussion during Sunday’s win over the New Orleans Saints.</p><p>So far in 2024, Covey has recorded 34 receiving yards on seven catches and returned one punt for nine yards. Earlier this week, the Eagles placed him on injured reserve due to his broken scapula.</p><h2><b>Eagles WR Britain Covey arrived in Philly in 2022</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/Britain-Covey-runs-against-the-New-Orleans-Saints-in-Week-3.jpg"><figcaption>Stephen Lew-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>A native of Provo, Utah, Covey made an immediate impact during his freshman year at the University of Utah. With 519 yards on 43 catches, he led the Pac-12 in receiving yards per game, total receiving yards, catches per game, touchdown receptions, and overall receptions.</p><p>A member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, Covey missed his sophomore and junior seasons at Utah while participating in an LDS mission in Chile. Upon his return, he’d lead his team with 1,400 all-purpose yards as a senior while also racking up 514 yards on 47 catches.</p><p>Despite going undrafted in 2022, Covey was signed by the Eagles as a free agent and went on to participate in Super Bowl LVII. Covey followed up his rookie season by leading the NFL with 417 total punt return yards in 2023 and earning a spot as a Pro Bowl alternate.</p><p>So far in his NFL career, he’s racked up 734 yards on punt returns.</p><p>The shorthanded Eagles will be taking on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers from Raymond James Stadium in Tampa this Sunday, where they will attempt to improve to 3-1 so far in 2024.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Well, you've come to the right place.</address><h3 class="op-kicker">NFL</h3><figure class="op-ad"></figure></header><p>Through the first three weeks of the 2024 NFL season, the Philadelphia Eagles have rapidly become the walking wounded, with their top wide receiver, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/eagles-news-aj-browns-concerning-hamstring-injury-gets-update-nick-sirianni" rel="noopener">AJ Brown, suffering a hamstring injury</a> that could keep him out of action for at least the next week and <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/eagles-devonta-smith-suffers-scary-head-injury-vs-saints" rel="noopener">DeVonta Smith taking a massive hit from Khristian Boyd</a> that led to an early exit with a concussion.</p><p>So, with the team potentially forced to start some combination of Jahan Dotson, Parris Campbell, and/or Johnny Wilson against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 4, how will the Eagles overcome the odds to push their record to 3-1? Asked this question during his weekly media availability, offensive coordinator Kellen Moore praised the rest of his receivers room, especially Dotson, who <a href="https://eagles.1rmg.com/transcripts/kellen-moore-9-24-24/" rel="noopener">hasn’t exactly lit the world on fire</a> since being acquired just ahead of Week 1.</p><p>“Excellent job of guys being able to play adjustment football. Those guys ran around, probably ran a few plays they never ran necessarily other than watching other guys run them over a number of weeks. To be able to hop in there and play those adjustments in positions they probably didn’t anticipate lining up in and being able to execute those plays,” Moore told reporters.</p><p>“Towards the end, [WR] Jahan [Dotson] handling some of those mesh plays, and doing really well, doing a great job with those, that’s an awesome example. That was [WR DeVonta Smith] Smitty earlier in the game, and now all of a sudden Jahan is in there and able to execute at a really high level. We feel really confident and comfortable with those guys. Especially you give them a few extra days, they can keep continue to develop and handle all the different adjustments through a game plan, and so we feel very fortunate to have those guys.”</p><p>Through his first three games in midnight green, Dotson has only been targeted five times, catching three passes for 14 yards while largely being a major afterthought in Moore’s offense. While only time will tell if he’s able to put it all together with a more expansive opportunity, it’s safe to say Dotson will be targeted early and often by Jalen Hurts if the team is down Britain Covey, Brown, and Smith against the Buccaneers.</p><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/Jahan-Dotson-on-the-field-for-the-Eagles.jpg"><figcaption>Stephen Lew-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><h2><b>Nick Sirianni is confident in the Eagles’ wide receiver depth too</b></h2><p>Discussing the Eagles’ receiver position during his own media session, Nick Sirianni was<a href="https://eagles.1rmg.com/transcripts/nick-sirianni-9-23-24/" rel="noopener"> similarly complimentary of the depth Howie Roseman has assembled</a>, especially Dotson, who, again, really hasn’t shown it on tape.</p><p>“Yeah, obviously we’ll see as the week goes on. We’ll see who is going to be available. We’ll plan for everything. Like I said from the very beginning, I really have a lot of faith in that wide receiver room,” Sirianni told reporters. “We have [WR] Johnny [Wilson], we have [WR] Parris [Campbell], we have [WR] Jahan [Dotson]. I know Jahan hasn’t had a ton of catches, but I think he’s been playing efficient football. And sometimes it’s just a matter of seeing it and then going out there and planning some more things for him and doing some more things to get the ball in his hands.”</p><p>Since being drafted by the Commanders in 2022, Dotson has <a href="https://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/D/DotsJa00.htm" rel="noopener">averaged 520.5 yards and 5.5 touchdowns per season</a> as a pro, including a yards-per-game average of 33. If Dotson can recapture some of that spark in Week 4 as a potential number one option, who knows, maybe he can settle into a bigger role as a WR3 moving forward.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Of course, he’s definitely missed, but it doesn’t change the trust that I have in everybody else to step up,” Hurts told reporters. “I think we had, you know, guys step up in a big way.

We just didn’t meet the moment in terms of it wasn’t for us tonight.”</p><p>Did the Eagles suffer without Brown? You bet, but did it actually change the team’s game plan for the week? In Hurts’ opinion, that question should go more to the coaching staff; all he knows is that the whole team didn’t produce and that they lost the game as a result.</p><p>“I think that’s a [Eagles Offensive Coordinator] Kellen [Moore] question, and I trust him with everything as we continue to build this and find our rhythm and build our rapport with one another,” Hurts noted. “But in the end, you know, guys had an opportunity to step up, and I think guys did that. We’ve got to be better. I’ve got to be better. But I feel like we went out there and played really hard, we just didn’t take advantage of some opportunities.”</p><p>In a game of inches, where a few decisions, drops, penalties, and non-called penalties marked the difference between a comfortable victory and a crushing defeat, having Brown might have provided just enough of an edge to put Philadelphia on top instead of the Week 2 dog house. For everyone’s sake, let’s hope Brown’s timeline is a bit shorter than Lisa Salters reported, as the Eagles need him back badly.</p><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/AJ-Brown-talking-to-Nick-Sirianni.jpg"><figcaption>Justin Robertson / USA TODAY NETWORK</figcaption></figure><h2><b>Nick Sirianni doesn’t know the exact return timeline for AJ Brown</b></h2><p>Asked about Salters’ reporting during his post-show media press conference, Sirianni revealed that the Eagles haven’t officially ruled on Brown’s timeline and that, until they do, he <a href="https://eagles.1rmg.com/transcripts/eagles-head-coach-nick-sirianni-post-game-transcript/" rel="noopener">won’t commit to the length of his absence</a> one way or the other.<br></p><p>“We’ll see. We’ll see. I don’t know that yet. You know I won’t give you that information yet because I don’t know. We’ll see how that goes.”</p><p>On paper, it makes sense that Sirianni wouldn’t want to paint himself into a corner if he doesn’t have to, as Brown could miss another week, a month, or no time at all and still fall within the timeline Salters reported during Monday Night Football. Still, for Philadelphia’s sake, let’s hope Brown is back in time for Week 3, as the 2024 New Orleans Saints team is no joke.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

He said he does not think it’s too serious, but he does expect to miss ‘a couple of weeks.'”</p><p>A couple of weeks? Does that include this week? Either way, that’s less than ideal.</p><p>With Brown out for Week 2, the Eagles were forced to shake up their game plan and their depth chart, elevating Parris Campbell from the practice squad for the contest while kicking DeVonta Smith up to the WR1 spot, a position he was drafted to fill back in 2021 but has seldom been asked to play since Brown came to town, settling in as arguably the best WR2 in the NFL alongside his former Alabama teammate Jaylen Waddle, Nico Collins, and Puka Nacua.</p><p>Fortunately, the Eagles built contingencies into their roster heading into the regular season, and Jahan Dotson already paid dividends early on with a six-year reception early on. If Philadelphia can overcome Brown’s absence and still win games, it will only spell good things for the future.</p><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/Philadelphia-Eagles-wide-receiver-A.J.-Brown-in-action.jpg"><figcaption>Vincent Carchietta-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><h2><b>Nick Sirianni believes the Eagles can overcome losing AJ Brown</b></h2><p>While discussing the possibility of Brown being out for Week 2 and how the Eagles will overcome “Swole Batman’s” absence, Nick Sirianni gave credit to Philadelphia’s WR3, as while the player who has filled that role in the past hasn’t always been treated like a star, Howie Roseman found a good one in Dotson who can really go.</p><p>“That guy gets unfairly judged because he doesn’t have the opportunities that other people get. I feel really good about Jahan [Dotson]. I mean, first-round pick, obviously, we traded for him and feel really good about him. He’s a smooth route runner, everything like that. I just think sometimes that position is unfairly judged at times just because they don’t get the opportunities these other guys are gonna get.”</p><p>Had Brown played in Week 2, Dotson may have still been on a snap count as he eases his way into Kellen Moore’s offense. But now? With Dotson out? It’s safe to say he will see his snaps double or even more from Week 1, as the Eagles need him to be the guy fans expected out of Penn State when he was a first-round pick in 2022.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

However, it will be worth monitoring his status ahead of Philly’s Week 2 action, particularly when it comes to their final practice on Saturday.</p><p>If Brown can’t suit up, Philadelphia will be in a tough spot, but they have more than enough weapons even without him that they should be able to overcome Atlanta one way or another in their second game of the season.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Well, you've come to the right place.</address><h3 class="op-kicker">Editorials</h3><figure class="op-ad"></figure></header><p>While much has been written about the pre-existing relationship between <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/eagles-news-philly-land-jahan-dotson-in-rare-trade-with-commanders">new addition Jahan Dotson</a> and Saquon Barkley, as the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/jahan-dotson-trade-grades-for-eagles-commanders-deal">Philadelphia Eagles’ offensive weapons</a> both call Penn State their collegiate alma mater, did you know the 16th overall pick in the 2022 NFL Draft actually has a relationship with AJ Brown too?</p><p>It’s true, discussing his relationship with the player Philly acquired with the 18th overall pick in that very same draft during his introductory presser – a fact that is still hard to believe – Dotson revealed his connection to WR11 and how they <a href="https://eagles.1rmg.com/transcripts/eagles-wr-jahan-dotson-press-conference-transcript/" rel="noopener">plan to push each other heading into the future</a>.</p><p>“Yeah we built a little bit of a relationship, being that we were working out together in the offseason. It was pretty much just competing with each other, you know, putting in the grind,” Jahan Dotson told reporters. “He’s a fellow receiver, so, you know, as much as I can learn from him, as much as he can learn from me, it’s great being that you have someone like that. They get to push you every day in the offseason to try to get better and get to your goal.”</p><p>Asked if he’s been able to work with any of the Eagles’ offensive weapons since arriving in South Philadelphia, the pride of Nazareth, Pennsylvania, Dotson said no, but that will inevitably change in the n0t-too-distant future.</p><p>“Not too much just because I just got here and I’m just kind of getting used to everything, and kind of getting introduced to the playbook a little bit,” Dotson noted. “I’ve been having conversations with those guys about everything that’s going on and what they have going on here, so I know I’ll fit right in. I’m just kind of stepping in and kind of getting to work on this playbook and trying to get to learn everything.”</p><p>With a little under two weeks left before the start of the 2024 NFL regular season, Dotson will have plenty of opportunities to get comfortable working alongside Barkley, Brown, DeVonta Smith, and Jalen Hurts before the live bullets start to fly in Brazil next Friday. Whether they can immediately catch fire and become one of the hottest offenses in the NFL right out of the gate, however, will go a long way in defining how the Eagles start out the 2024 NFL season.</p><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/Jahan-Dotson-playing-against-the-Eagles.jpg"><figcaption>Eric Hartline-USA TODAY Sports</figcaption></figure><h2><b>Nick Sirianni has high hopes for Jahan Dotson</b></h2><p>Briefly touching on the addition of Dotson after the Eagles’ ugly loss to the Minnesota Vikings in the Preseason finale, head coach Nick Sirianni recalled the PSU product’s evaluation coming out of college and how he should improve Philly’s receivers room heading into the regular season.</p><p>“Really liked him a couple years ago coming out,” Sirianni noted. “Looking forward to working with him. I think he helps our team and gives us an addition to an already deep room, and excited to work with him. But, yeah, we’re just really excited that we are able to make our team better.”</p><p>So, with Dotson in place, how does this impact the Eagles’ roster construction plans heading into the future? Will they keep fewer wide receivers now that they have a guaranteed top-3 in Dotson, Brown, and Smith? Or are those decisions unrelated? While Sirianni doesn’t pick who stays and who goes on the 53-man roster, he did note that this could impact the bottom of the roster, as those final few spots come down to more than just immediate offensive or defensive potential.</p><p>“Obviously we’ve got a lot of tape to watch, that we watch, that we have to rewatch. And again, a deep room, it’s a deep room, and Jahan just adds to the depth of that room,” Sirianni explained.</p><p>“Just like the linebacker position, just like the receiver position. We’ve got a lot of tough decisions to make. You’d rather have tough decisions to make. That means you have good depth, that you’re comfortable, like, ‘Oh, man, I’d be really excited if this guy’s on the team, really excited if this guy’s on the team.’</p><p>“That’s where [Executive Vice President/General Manager] Howie [Roseman] and his staff have done such a good job of getting the talent here, so we have these conversations of, ‘All right, who is No. 53, 52, 51, 50, 49, like who is the in-between for the five and six receivers or the four and five linebackers.’ So, again, it makes for hard decisions, but you know that’s only helping your team when you’re having those types of discussions.”</p><p>Could the presence of Dotson not just in 2024 but in 2025 – and potentially 2026, too, if his fifth-year option gets picked up – cost someone like Parris Campbell a spot on the roster or even the practice squad this fall? Potentially so; with no clear path to play, Campbell may simply opt to take his talents elsewhere, opening the door for players like John Ross and Joeseph Ngata to stick around on the practice squad. Still, it’s borderline impossible to call the Eagles a worse team because they upgraded the WR3 spot from Campbell – or even DeVante Parker, for that matter – to Dotson, as he is arguably the best WR3 Philly has employed under the Sirianni regime.</p><figure class="op-interactive"></figure><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Still, he is a promising player for the Patriots heading into 2024, as they try to establish a young core of players.</p><p>Going into the 2023 NFL Draft, Gonzalez was viewed as essentially a lock for a top-10 pick, but he surprisingly slid. Devon Witherspoon was the first cornerback off of the board at No. 5 to the Seattle Seahawks, and then the Washington Commanders made a surprising selection by taking Emmanuel Forbes with the No. 16 pick, which left Gonzalez there <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/patriots-news-jerod-mayo-sends-players-wild-fight-warning-amid-nfl-preseason">for the Patriots</a> at No. 17.</p><p>It will be interesting to see how much or if Gonzalez plays at all in Thursday’s preseason game against the Eagles. Often when teams have joint practices, starters do not play in games. For a veteran like Brown, it would be a bit surprising to see him get many reps, if at all. A younger player like Gonzalez could see some time in the game. Still, it is encouraging for Gonzalez to go up against an elite receiver like Brown and have the wide receiver come away as impressed as he was.</p><h2><b>Patriots defense could be a strength</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/Christian-Gonzalez.jpg"><figcaption>© Eric Canha-USA TODAY Sports</figcaption></figure><p>The expectations are not high <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mark-wahlberg-patriots-2024-record-prediction-exclusive">for the Patriots</a> this season, as the talent on the offensive side of the ball is not viewed as very good, and rookie quarterback Drake Maye likely will not play very much if at all this year. However, there are some solid pieces on the defensive side of the ball, including Gonzalez.</p><p>In the secondary with Gonzalez are two solid safetis in Kyle Dugger and Jabrill Peppers. There are solid players on the defensive line as well. Christian Barmore is dealing with blood clots, but hopefully he can return at some point, as he is a very good player. Davon Godchaux is solid as well and just signed an extension. Matthew Judon’s contract situation is in flux, but he is still on the roster as well.</p><p>It will be interesting to see if the Patriots’ defense can keep them in games this season.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

In doing so, the front office decided to give AJ Brown a new contract extension. As it turns out, the deal is so big that Brown made NFL history.</p><p>Brown officially <a href="https://twitter.com/RapSheet/status/1783643426145145265" rel="noopener">signed a three-year</a> $96 million contract extension, according to Ian Rapoport of The NFL Network. $84 million is fully guaranteed and AJ Brown is set to play for the Eagles through the 2029 season.</p><p>“Sources: The Eagles and star WR AJ Brown agreed to terms on a new 3-year extension for $96M, the highest for any WR in NFL history. He’s now under contract [through] 2029 &amp; his total guarantee of $84M is also the highest. The deal, his third at 27, was done by Tory Dandy of CAA.”</p><p>That’s a lot of money! But the Eagles believe in their superstar wide receiver. Even AJ Brown’s teammate, Darius Slay couldn’t believe the money Brown just received. Slay <a href="https://twitter.com/bigplay24slay/status/1783648731310514336" rel="noopener">was clearly happy</a> for Brown.</p><p>“My dawg!!”</p><p>The Eagles have their superstar wide receiver locked up for the long haul and can focus on building the roster around him and Jalen Hurts. Brown has been one of the best wide receivers in the league for several years now and should continue doing so throughout his career.</p><p>This is a big decision to make <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl-rumors-5-trade-up-candidates-later-in-1st-round-of-nfl-draft">for the Eagles</a>. AJ Brown wasn’t due to hit free agency until 2027, which is still three full seasons away. Brown’s contract now won’t end until after the 2029 season when he’ll be 34 years old.</p><p>Last season, Brown finished with an impressive 106 receptions (career high), 1,456 yards, and seven touchdowns. He’s one of the focal points of the Eagles’ offense and the franchise views him as an important piece for the long haul. It’ll be interesting to see how the remainder of his career plays out as Philadelphia will use him often for the next several years.</p><h2>AJ Brown’s 2024 season outlook</h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/AJ-Brown-making-a-play.jpg"><figcaption>Bill Streicher-USA TODAY Sports</figcaption></figure><p>Although last season ended in disaster for the Eagles, the team is shaping up nicely to get back on top of the league. AJ Brown and DeVonta Smith should continue leading the way in the passing game, making Philly a widely electric offense.</p><p>As for Brown, he should have another big season. He has gone for over 1,400 yards in his first two seasons with the Eagles. So, we should expect to see the same in the 2024-25 season. With that said, he’ll probably be projected to record 1,400+ yards 7+ touchdowns next season.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Brown caused a stir in the NFL world <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/eagles-news-aj-brown-tom-brady-profile-pictureexplained">with his social media actions</a> on Thursday. Coincidentally, they came a few hours after New England Patriots’ de facto general manager Eliot Wolf <a href="https://twitter.com/Patriots/status/1780959400254971912" rel="noopener">acknowledged the team’s interest</a> in adding a veteran wide receiver.</p><p>So, is there a connection there? Well, the Patriots <a href="https://twitter.com/NBCSBoston/status/1781094819168747923" rel="noopener">have actually inquired</a> with the Philadelphia Eagles about trading for Brown, Sports Illustrated’s Albert Breer reported Thursday. However, the Eagles have told teams they aren’t trading the star wide receiver.</p><p>Of course, that probably won’t quiet the rumor mill about Brown. <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/eagles-devonta-smith-secures-75-million-contract-extension">Philadelphia just extended DeVonta Smith</a>, potentially making Brown expendable. But the rumors go back toward the end of last season, when he appeared to be upset with how the team was performing toward the end of a disappointing campaign.</p><p>Brown helped further ignite the rumors on Thursday when he changed the profile picture on his Twitter account to Tom Brady in a Patriots jersey. He explained that he did so because he was inspired by Brady after watching “The Dynasty” docuseries, but he also recently followed Patriots quarterback Jacoby Brissett and wide receiver K.J. Osborn on the social media platform.</p><h2><b>What Eliot Wolf said about Patriots’ pursuit of wide receiver</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/AJ_Brown_gets_100__honest_on_Philadelphia_future_amid_massive_uncertainty.webp"></figure><p>While Brown might not be available, Wolf confirmed that the team has had trade talks about adding a wide receiver.</p><p>“We’ve had conversations with teams about different scenarios, not just at receiver, but at different positions,” Wolf told reporters. “So that’s definitely something we’d be open to.”</p><p>Beyond Brown, the most likely big-name receivers that the Patriots could feasibly target are Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins and San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk. Higgins is on the franchise tag this offseason while Aiyuk is entering the final year of his rookie contract.</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">Eliot Wolf thinks people are underestimating the Patriots offense… <a href="https://t.co/SolXj6jygF">pic.twitter.com/SolXj6jygF</a></p><p>— NBC Sports Boston (@NBCSBoston) <a href="https://twitter.com/NBCSBoston/status/1780974484159152489?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">April 18, 2024</a></p></blockquote><p><script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p></figure><p>As of now, both teams have stated they have no plans to trade their star pass-catcher. But considering their contract situations and that each team already has another game-breaking wideout on the roster, it isn’t crazy to think the Bengals or Eagles could change their minds.</p><p>If so, the Patriots’ second-round pick (No. 34 overall) in the 2024 NFL Draft could become valuable in such a deal. If New England isn’t able to land a receiver, though, Wolf is confident with what the team already has at the position.</p><p>“We certainly have good receivers that we’re looking forward to working with,” Wolf said. “K.J. Osborn can play all three positions, we have Kendrick Bourne coming back, [DeMario Douglas], JuJu [Smith-Schuster], the list goes on. We feel like we have NFL receivers.”</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Needless to say, not all Philly fans will believe the star wide receiver’s contention in wake of a tumultuous 2023 campaign marked by a late-season slide toward the playoffs. Still, the vast majority of Eagles faithful will no doubt be pleased to know Brown plans on playing in the City of Brotherly Love next season regardless.</p><p>Calling into local radio station 94WIP on Friday, Brown told listeners his hot-button sideline demeanor is <a href="https://twitter.com/PHLEaglesNation/status/1761125563782041818" rel="noopener">broadly misconstrued</a>.</p><p>“What if my flare ups on the sideline are because I care so much? And wanna hold people accountable and get them back up? Yall just don’t see it from Jalen because that’s not his personality,” he said, per Eagles Nation. “But it’s mine.. And I can do that because nobody works as hard as me and puts the work in as much as me, and I stand on that.
