Sirianni: 'I don't know that yet' if WR A.J. Brown will miss multiple weeks

Sep 17, 2024

The Eagles played without wide receiver A.J. Brown in Monday night’s loss to the Falcons and Brown suggested that the team is going to continue playing without him for a while.

Brown told Lisa Salters of ESPN that he will miss a couple of weeks with a hamstring injury. Head coach Nick Sirianni didn’t confirm that during his postgame press conference, however.

“We’ll see. We’ll see,” Sirianni said, via a transcript from the team. “I don’t know that yet. You know I won’t give you that information yet because I don’t know. We’ll see how that goes.”

Fantasy Impact:

Brown made it seem like he'd at least miss Weeks 2 and 3 based on the interview. As we pointed out Monday night after the news broke, the Eagles do have a Week 5 bye, leaving the possibility the Eagles keep Brown out until after the bye week, if injury is serious enough or they want to play it very safe. Sirianni is at least leaving the door open Brown is back before the team's bye. It will be a situation worth monitoring this week. The Eagles play at the Saints in an early Sunday game in Week 3.

Bears RB D'Andre Swift, WR Keenan Allen both Questionable for Week 12

Scott Bair

D'Andre Swift is questionable to play Vikings with a groin injury, though he was limited Thursday and a full participant on Friday.

Keenan Allen is questionable with an ankle injury. He was limited on Friday, his first day on the participation report.

Related Players: Roschon Johnson, Travis Homer, D.J. Moore, Rome Odunze

Fantasy Impact:

Separate reports called Swift "very likely" to play, but this is seemingly a new issue for Allen.

If Keenan were to miss Week 12, it would boost the floor of all pass-catchers, namely Moore, Oduzne, and Cole Kmet. Moore + Odunze would sneak closer to WR2 territory than their low-end WR3 designations they have with a healthy Allen.

Chiefs RB Isiah Pacheco officially Out for Week 12

Charles Omenihu (knee) and Isiah Pacheco (ankle) won’t play on Sunday, per Coach Reid.

“Just taking it day-by-day,” Reid added.

Related Players: Samaje Perine

Fantasy Impact:

It was later reported that Pacheco was "healthy enough" but they're hoping to hold him back one more game with a short week coming up. This makes Hunt a volume-based RB2 in Week 12.

Cowboys WR CeeDee Lamb returns to Friday practice

CeeDee Lamb practiced today, per Cowboys head coach Mike McCarthy. That’s a good sign.

Lamb (back/foot) was limited in a walkthrough on Wednesday and missed practice on Thursday.

Related Players: Jalen Tolbert, KaVontae Turpin, Jalen Brooks, Ryan Flournoy

Fantasy Impact:

Obviously good news for the Cowboys' potential in rolling out an NFL offense in Week 12. The floor is capped for Lamb but we should expect a ton of action funneling his way against the Commanders, which puts him on the WR1/2 fringe.
