AJ Brown is wrapping up another electric season with the Philadephia Eagles, but he left fans holding their breath in Week 18.

The former Ole Miss star was injured in the first quarter against the New York Giants. After catching a pass and cutting upfield, Brown fumbled but it was his right knee that left many fans concerned about the receiver.

During the tackle, Brown’s right knee was bent inward at an awkward angle, and he immediately clutched his leg and stayed on the ground while being tended to. It was not a good look for the NFL’s third-leading receiver this season.

Brown has since headed to the locker room and the Eagles have announced the star receiver as questionable to return. Potentially good news for Philadelphia, Brown was able to walk to the locker room under his own power.

Entering Week 18, Brown was sixth in the NFL with 105 receptions and third with 1,447 receiving yards. He also tied for Philadelphia’s team lead with 7 receiving touchdowns.

With the NFL Playoffs set to begin next week, Brown’s status will be something to keep an eye on moving forward.
