The Philadelphia Eagles are expected to officially open the 21-day practice window for star wide receiver AJ Brown later today, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. This move signals a major step forward in the receiver's recovery and his eventual return to the active roster.
By opening the practice window, the Eagles now have a 21-day period to evaluate Brown during team sessions. The team must activate him to the 53-man roster at any point during this window; otherwise, he would be required to remain on the injured reserve list for the duration of the season. Brown is now eligible to return to the field for drills as the coaching staff monitors his progress.
Brown remains a critical component of the Philadelphia passing attack. His potential return provides a significant boost for quarterback Jalen Hurts and the rest of the offense. While the opening of the window allows him to practice, his availability for upcoming games will be determined by how he responds to increased physical activity throughout the week.
