A.J. Brown

A.J. Brown (knee/rest) returned to practice Thursday.

Last week, Brown’s practice participation went from limited, to absent, to full as the week progressed. He caught 1-of-3 targets for 10 yards. The Eagles are evidently handling things differently this week; Brown began Divisional Round practices by taking Wednesday off before logging a limited session on Thursday. The bottom line is this: Brown’s play is clearly hampered by the knee issue but it is not stopping him from playing. The immensely talented wide receiver bagged his third straight, second-team All-Pro nod last week, accurately reflecting his game-breaking ability. If he is on-field, as expected, the Rams’ defense will have to account for him.
