Star wide receiver A.J. Brown will miss the Philadelphia Eagles' wildcard round matchup against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, per a report from Adam Schefter of ESPN.

Brown was nowhere to be seen at Eagles practice both on Thursday and Friday, which felt like a bad omen for his availability Monday night against the Bucs.

Brown finished the 2023 regular season with 106 receptions for 1456 yards and 7 TDs. He was by far the Eagles' best skill position player, and a rare example of a player who lived up to lofty preseason expectations. 

No. 2 wide receiver DeVonta Smith missed the Eagles' Week 18 games against the Giants with an ankle injury, but he should be good to go for Monday. Otherwise, the Eagles will play a mix of Julio Jones, Quez Watkins, Olamide Zaccheaus, and maybe Britain Covey at receiver. Tight end Dallas Goedert will have to take on a bigger role in the passing game as well.
