If the Eagles are going to beat the Buccaneers on Sunday, they’ll need to do it without one of their top receivers — and maybe without the other.
DeVonta Smith is officially out, due to a concussion that he suffered on Sunday in New Orleans. A.J. Brown is questionable with a hamstring injury that he suffered in practice two weeks ago today.
Brown told ESPN’s Lisa Salters before the Week 2 Monday night game that he’d miss a couple more weeks, so it’s not yet a sure thing that he’ll play.
The next question becomes whether he travels on Saturday with the Eagles to Florida.
The Eagles have only two other receivers on the active roster — Jahan Dotson and Johnny Wilson. They have a whopping five on the practice squad.
Also questionable for Sunday is tackle Lane Johnson, who like Smith has a concussion.
