Is A.J. Brown playing today? Why Eagles WR is off to slow start vs. Buccaneers image

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown is no stranger to quiet starts this season and he is off to yet another in Week 4 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

After two lackluster games in a row over the first two weeks, Brown finally exploded for a huge contest in Week 3, tallying six receptions for 109 yards and a touchdown.

Unfortunately, it's back to lackluster production early on in Week 3, as Brown has yet to gain a single yard as of this writing.

Here's more on Brown's slow start.

Is A.J. Brown playing today?

Yes, Brown is active, healthy and in the lineup, and he has even gotten a target in the first half, he just wasn't able to come down with it. That is the only target he has gotten with five minutes left in the first half.

We want to say it's just a matter of time before Brown gets going, but with how things went the first two weeks of the season, that's not guaranteed to happen.
