A.J. Brown

A.J. Brown (knee/rest) was limited in Wednesday’s practice.

Brown has been getting days off or limited practice sessions for weeks as the team carefully manages his knee issue. It hasn’t been a problem for him lately and it likely won’t be on Sunday. Beat reporter Tim McManus reported Brown left practice early with a staffer and the team later told reporters that the early exit was pre-planned. The situation seems a tad unorthodox but we have no reason to expect Brown will be be limited by this issue at this time. Getting Week 18 off was a nice bonus for Brown, and many other Philly starters as well. Brown will remain an elite fantasy option when he takes the field to face Green Bay for the opening round of the playoffs on Sunday.
