The Philadelphia Eagles, who have successfully tweaked their offense since their Week 5 bye, will not have their star receiver back on the field in Week 9 against the Jacksonville Jaguars. After leaving the game, AJ Brown has been downgraded to out and will not return with a knee injury, per ESPN's Adam Schefter.

Brown appeared to be injured on this play but did return briefly. It's unclear on what play he was injured on.

The 27-year-old receiver left the game with two catches for 36 yards. DeVonta Smith has stepped up with four catches for 87 yards and a touchdown.

With 4:04 left in the fourth quarter, the Eagles hold a 28-23 lead against the Jaguars.

“Yeah, we talk about everything together. We go through our processes together. Same thing, I won’t say this percentage or that percentage or anything like that, but you try to evaluate as a coach what your players do well,” Sirianni told reporters.

“Especially as coaches. We don’t go out there and make plays. But I think it’s just his consistency, his mind as a football coach. Super sharp. Constantly looking for ways to get better. I’ll go into his office, and he’s always watching tape. If I go into his office, he’s always watching things that help him grow as a coach, too. Not necessarily even just tape of the opponent, but tape around the league or tape of – his brother puts a lot of good football out there, watching that in colleges.
