According to Eagles reporter Eliot Shorr-Parks of 94WIP, Brown was absent from Friday's team practice due to an ongoing knee injury sustained during the regular season finale against the New York Giants.
On a more positive note, quarterback Jalen Hurts, dealing with a finger issue, and wide receiver DeVonta Smith, nursing an ankle injury, both fully participated in Friday's practice, as reported by Jeff Kerr of CBS. This indicates that the Eagles are likely to have at least one half of their dynamic receiving duo available for the game against Tampa Bay.
The Eagles had a strong start to their season, winning 10 of their first 11 games, but then experienced a downturn, losing five of their last six contests. As a result, they concluded the regular season with an 11-6 record and were unable to secure their second consecutive NFC East division title, which went to the Dallas Cowboys instead.
Now, the Eagles are set to face the Buccaneers on Super Wild Card Weekend at Raymond James Stadium, marking their second postseason meeting in three years. Both teams have undergone significant changes since their last playoff encounter.
In Week 3, the Eagles secured a convincing 25-11 victory over the Buccaneers at Raymond James Stadium during a "Monday Night Football" matchup. Philadelphia's ground game was dominant, accumulating 201 rushing yards and a touchdown on 40 carries, while their defense forced two turnovers in the 14-point victory.
