In addition to Brown, the Eagles' injury report had another notable player on it as right tackle Lane Johnson was listed as limited due to rest. The other limited players included backup QB Kenny Pickett (ribs), RB Will Shipley (ankle) and reserve OL Jack Driscoll (ankle).
Is Jalen Hurts cleared to play Sunday? Here's the latest on the Eagles quarterback ahead of the playoff game vs. the Packers.
The Eagles held their second practice of the week Thursday at Lincoln Financial Field as they get ready for their Wild Card playoff game Sunday against the Green Bay Packers.
With due respect to Nick Foles, Doug Pederson, Andy Reid, Terrell Owens, Dick Vermeil, and other ghosts from great teams, this band of Birds is beyond compare. Now, can these Eagles win?
Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts missed the final two games of the regular season after suffering a concussion, but the team rested starters in Week 18 and that made it unclear whether Hurts was progressing toward a return to the lineup or not.
Perhaps the Eagles signaled Hurts' return to practice Tuesday by waiving quarterback Ian Book, who was originally signed to the practice squad after Hurts' concussion, then added to the 53-man roster to serve as the third QB the past two games.
Despite Brown's absence, he's trending toward playing in Sunday’s playoff opener against the Green Bay Packers. So is Hurts, who still needs to clear concussion protocol.
Since first landing on the injury report, Brown had 8 catches for 97 yards and a touchdown against the Commanders and 3 catches for 36 yards and a touchdown against the Cowboys. He and many starters rested in the regular season finale against the Giants.
Multiple sources around Hurts have expressed optimism about him playing against Green Bay in recent days, but it ultimately comes down to whether he's able to make it through all the stages of the protocol.
Eagles QB Jalen Hurts is expected to practice Wednesday after missing Philadelphia's final two games with a concussion.
The same three players who did not practice on Wednesday were out again for the Green Bay Packers on Thursday as they get ready for their wild-card game at the Philadelphia Eagles.
