The Philadelphia Eagles were without A.J. Brown during Monday night's tilt against the Atlanta Falcons as the star wide receiver was nursing a hamstring injury he sustained at practice this week.

According to ESPN's Monday Night Football sideline reporter Lisa Salters, Brown told her that he suffered the hamstring injury on Friday and expects to "miss a couple of weeks" as a result of the ailment. He indicated that the injury occurred when he was running a route at practice, at which point he felt his hamstring tighten up on him.
