A.J. Brown has been dealing with a knee injury for weeks, so it was no surprise that the Eagles All-Pro wide receiver did not practice on Thursday.
On Wednesday’s practice report, Brown was listed as limited with a knee/rest designation.
The expectation is that A.J. Brown will play on Sunday, from what I understand.
But he’s obviously dealing with a knee issue and will receive maintenance. https://t.co/YGRzkoghvM

According to ESPN’s Tim McManus, this is all part of the three-time Pro Bowler’s maintenance plan, and the team expects him to play Sunday.
Brown will have little time to regain on-field chemistry with quarterback Jalen Hurts, who practiced for the second straight day as he progresses through the concussion protocol.
Brown initially suffered the injury in the win over Pittsburgh but appeared in the next two games against the Commanders and Cowboys, totaling 11 catches for 133 yards and two touchdowns before sitting out the regular-season finale against the Giants.
Philadelphia went 1-2 in the three games Brown missed earlier in the season with a hamstring injury.
Brown played a significant role in the regular-season opener against the Packers in São Paulo, Brazil, logging five catches for 119 yards and a touchdown in Philadelphia’s 34-29 victory.
