Philadelphia Eagles star wide receiver AJ Brown is expected to remain away from team activities as his current situation with the franchise continues, according to a report from Ian Rapoport of NFL Network.
Per Rapoport, Brown will "smartly stay away" from the team's immediate offseason programs. The report indicates that the situation is expected to "heat up" around June 1, which serves as a significant date on the NFL calendar for contract restructuring and salary cap implications.
The veteran wideout has been a cornerstone of the Philadelphia offense, and his status has been closely monitored throughout the offseason. Rapoport characterized the move to stay away as a strategic one as the "AJ Brown watch" continues into the summer months.
While the specific reasons for the absence remain tied to his ongoing status with the team, the June 1 timeline suggests that a resolution or further major developments may not be imminent for several weeks. No official statement has been released by the Philadelphia Eagles or Brown's representatives at this time.
