Even with Brown’s injury/rest day, Everyone on the active roster was on the Eagles’ practice field on Thursday. Second-year safety Sydney Brown, who suffered a concussion in Sunday’s win over the Steelers, returned to practice.
Brown has 56 catches (tied for 35th in the NFL), 946 yards (11th in the NFL), five touchdowns, and a 16.9 yards per catch average.
