The Philadelphia Eagles will have to play their first stateside game of the season without their star wide receiver. On the final injury report prior to their matchup with the Atlanta Falcons on Monday Night Football, the Eagles downgraded Brown to from questionable to out with a hamstring issue.
Head coach Nick Sirianni told the media Saturday that the injury popped up during Friday’s practice. Brown experienced some tightness in his hamstring and the Eagles decided to cut the practice short as a precaution.
This will be the first game Brown has missed since joining the Eagles in 2022. He had 119 yards on five catches with one touchdown (a magical 60-plus yard grab from QB Jalen Hurts) in Week 1.
Week 2 of the 2024 season will see another week without Christian McCaffrey lining up for the San Francisco 49ers.
After missing last week’s win over the New York Jets, McCaffrey is being placed on injured reserve, per multiple media reports. McCaffrey will now miss at least the next four games while recovering from Achilles tendinitis and calf tightness.
On Friday, McCaffrey was ruled out of San Francisco’s Week 2 matchup against the Minnesota Vikings with the injuries. In a news conference the same day, 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan told reporters that they were considering placing him on injured reserve, adding that McCaffrey had been in a lot of pain during practice on Thursday.
“It’s on and off, but with [Thursday] having the most pain, it’s something we’re going to be discussing the next 24 hours,” Shanahan said.
The earliest McCaffrey can return to the 49ers is Week 6 against the Seattle Seahawks.
Green Bay Packers QB Jordan Love, after spraining his MCL in Week 1’s loss to the Eagles, was listed as out for the team’s Week 2 game against the Indianapolis Colts.
