A.J. Brown’s absence raises eyebrows amid dental procedure speculation
Eagles star receiver A.J. Brown was conspicuously absent from the portion of practice open to reporters on Christmas Eve, stirring a flurry of speculation. While the team had no reported injury concerns regarding Brown following his participation at practice earlier in the week, his absence raised questions.
As head coach Nick Sirianni addressed the media, the absence of Brown’s car from its usual spot hinted at a possible illness or personal matter. Adding to the intrigue, Brown himself mentioned a scheduled dental procedure, which likely explains why he was not present on the field.
Injury Updates for the Eagles
On the injury front, the Eagles are monitoring the status of defensive tackle Jalen Carter, who has been dealing with shoulder issues. Carter participated in practice for the second consecutive day and appears to be on track for a return in the upcoming game against the 11-4 Buffalo Bills.
However, not all players are trending positively. Right tackle Lane Johnson (foot) and left guard Landon Dickerson (calf) missed practice, leading to Fred Johnson and Brett Toth stepping in for individual drills. The team’s first injury report of the week is anticipated later this afternoon, shedding more light on the players’ statuses as they prepare for a critical matchup.
