And another one bites the dust. The Philadelphia Eagles will face the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday without another of their top wide receivers, AJ Brown, the team announced on Saturday.
It was a question of whether or not Brown would play again in Week 4 of the NFL season. Although he was a limited participant in the Eagles’ practice on Friday, Brown still is recovering from a hamstring injury that has kept him off the field since the Birds’ game against the Atlanta Falcons in Week 2.
On Friday, the Eagles announced that they will be missing another wide receiver, DeVonta Smith he is recovering from a concussion after a tough hit against the Saints in Week 3.
In the fourth quarter, Smith was knocked out of the game after being hit by Saints defensive tackle Khristian Boyd after the officials were reluctant to blow the whistle at the end of the game. Smith was about to be taken down by several Saints defenders when Boyd delivered the goal.
Eagles safety C.J. Gardner-Johnson sounded off on Boyd’s hit, calling it the “nastiest s— I have ever seen in football.”
Wide receivers Parris Campbell and John Ross were removed from the practice squad prior to Sunday’s game.
The Eagles added in their game status update on Saturday that linebacker Devin White is also out of Sunday’s game due to a personal matter. White, a first-year Eagle, has not played in any games so far this season
According to CBS Sports, White suffered an ankle injury that kept him out of the Eagles season opener against the Packers in Brazil. White was a healthy scratch for weeks 2 and 3.
Lane Johnson is still questionable for the Bucs game. Johnson was limited from practice Friday after suffering a concussion against the Saints.
