The Philadelphia Eagles’ passing attack has taken a backseat to Saquon Barkley’s spectacular rushing performances.
But as the team eyes a Super Bowl run, head coach Nick Sirianni knows that every piece of the offense will need to click, especially with the pressure mounting.
The playoff road won’t be an easy one, as injuries and lingering rust could slow them down.
However, wide receiver A.J. Brown isn’t one to avoid adversity and is prepared to fight through pain as the playoffs heat up.
After sitting out practice due to a knee issue, Brown returned to the field, easing fans’ worries.
He wasted no time reassuring everyone, announcing that he plans to play in the NFC Wild Card matchup against the Green Bay Packers.
“I know I’m banged up, but everybody is,” Brown said, via Eliot Shorr-Parks of WIP 94 Sports Radio. “Gotta be out there. Give it my all. Playing for my teammates, for the city. Felt miserable last year, just to let it go like that and I couldn’t put my hand on it.”

After missing their playoff loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers with a knee injury last season, Brown knows sacrifice is part of the deal, and he is determined to push the Eagles to another conference title.
With quarterback Jalen Hurts recovering from a concussion, the duo may not have many recent full-speed reps together, but with Hurts also moving to full practice after clearing protocol, they’re both set to go for this high-stakes clash.
