AJ Brown has been in the spotlight after suffering a hamstring injury at the Philadelphia Eagles' training camp. The wideout did not practice on Wednesday, raising a few concerns among fans.

As things stand, AJ Brown is listed as questionable on the Eagles' injury report due to a hamstring issue. Fantasy fans who want to select the wideout for the regular season should wait until his status is active.

Brown took part in the Eagles' practice session on Saturday as a limited participant. He looked sharp and healthy while running a series of sprints even before practice at the NovaCare Complex. Even the trainers saw what they needed to see and cleared the wideout to get back on the field. Brown took part in an individual drill first but was on the sideline and did not participate when the Eagles went to team drills since he was coming off an extended layoff with a soft-tissue injury.

However, on Wednesday, Brown did not practice in Philly's joint-practice session with the Cleveland Browns.

The Eagles will play the Browns in their second preseason game on Saturday. Philly will conclude its preseason against the New York Jets on Aug. 22.

It's unclear whether Brown will play in Philly's two remaining preseason games. However, if his recovery goes well, the wideout should be able to suit up for the Eagles' Week 1 regular-season game against the Dallas Cowboys on Sept. 4.

Brown posted 1,079 yards and seven touchdowns on 67 receptions in the regular season in 2024. He also recorded 163 yards and two touchdowns on 12 receptions in the playoffs, helping the Eagles win the Super Bowl.
