PHILADELPHIA — Eagles<\/a> standout wide receiver A.J. Brown<\/a> has been ruled out of Sunday’s game against the New York Giants<\/a> with a hamstring injury.<\/p>\n

Brown finished last week’s game against the Minnesota Vikings<\/a> and sealed the 28-22<\/a> win with a 45-yard reception from Jalen Hurts<\/a> on a third-and-9 with 1:45 remaining. He caught four passes for a season-high 121 yards and two touchdowns.<\/p>\n

But he was sidelined from all three of the Eagles’ practices this week.<\/p>\n

Coach Nick Sirianni said Friday that he thought Brown was “definitely a guy that could” play even without practice reps. But hamstring injuries often come with the risk of a setback, and the Eagles have a bye after their matchup against the Giants.<\/p>\n

Brown has 29 catches for 395 yards and three touchdowns this season. He has shown some frustration over the state of the offense, including a social media post after the team’s Week 4 win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers<\/a>.<\/p>\n

This week, he posted a photo to Instagram<\/a> with a caption reading, “Using me but not using me,” prompting speculation about whether it was directed at the team.<\/p>\n

It has been “business as usual” inside the building this week, however, according to Sirianni.<\/p>\n

The Eagles also ruled out starting center Cam Jurgens<\/a> (knee), linebacker Azeez Ojulari<\/a> (hamstring) and cornerback Adoree’ Jackson<\/a> (concussion). Defensive end Brandon Graham<\/a>, who came out of retirement<\/a> this week to rejoin the Eagles, will not make his season debut against the Giants and was ruled out.<\/p>\n
