    The Philadelphia Eagles have ruled AJ Brown out of their Week 2 game against the Atlanta Falcons.

    Brown did not have hamstring injuries all week, but got knocked up on Friday and was not able to go on Monday.

    Brown played a great game last week against the Packers in Brazil. He hauled in five passes for 119 yards and a touchdown.

    With Brown out, DeVonta Smith will be filling in the top wide receiver role, where he will likely be matched up against AJ Terrell. Smith had a good week as well against the Packers, catching seven balls for 84 yards.

    Newly acquired Jahan Dotson will also see an increased workload with Brown injured, and will look to shine with his new team.

    The Eagles may also give Saquon Barkley more rushes with their top target out. Barkley had three touchdowns and over 130 all purpose yards last week.

    The Eagles will look to improve to 2-0 against a Falcons team that came off a rough loss against the Steelers last week. Brown does not have a timetable, but will likely not miss much time. Even in his absence, Philadelphia still has tons of star power all over the field.
