A.J. Brown among several Philadelphia Eagles to leave loss vs. New York Giants with injury

“Obviously, I feel terrible,” Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni said. “Any time any of our players get hurt, I feel terrible. It’s a tough thing to have to go through an injury, play through an injury. I’m hoping he’s OK and we’ll see how the week goes.”

Brown wasn’t the only Eagles player to get hurt. The injuries piled up for the beat-up Birds in the 27-10 loss against the Giants on Sunday at MetLife Stadium.

Safeties Reed Blankenship and Sydney Brown and guard Cam Jurgens all left the game with injuries. Quarterback Jalen Hurts also injured his finger, but he came back into the game before Sirianni pulled the starters.

Sirianni said Brown, who suffered a knee injury, greeted each player at the locker room door following the loss. NFL Network reported Brown’s ACL is intact based on the initial exam after exiting the game. If he were to miss next week’s game, it would be a massive loss for the offense.

Brown, a second-year Pro Bowler, led the team in receiving with 105 catches for 1,447 yards and seven touchdowns heading into the game.

Smith, who allegedly suffered a moderate ankle injury, did not play against the Giants in Week 18. He did not practice prior to the regular season finale, and his playoff status remains uncertain.

Jurgens, who remained on the offensive side of the ball, abandoned the game due to an eye injury. Landon Dickerson was forced to play center after Jason Kelce exited the game to rest the starters.

The Eagles’ secondary became even more decimated in Sunday’s humiliating defeat.

Blankenship departed the game with a groin injury, while Sydney Brown left with a knee injury. According to NFL Network, the rookie safety tore his ACL, thereby ending his season.

Hurts, who suffered a middle finger injury on his right hand, says he’s taking it day by day with his availability for next week. He returned to the game before Sirianni decided to remove the starting on Sunday.

“He came back in and played; he’s tough as hell,” Sirianni explained. “After he received it, he came back in and ripped it, so we will see. I haven’t even spoken with the trainers or medical professionals, so we’ll see.

Hurts stated that his finger “popped out” and he felt “OK” throwing.

“I don’t like to talk about the injuries, I just want the time play out itself,” Hurts stated at the time. “In the end, as a team, we have everything in front of us, and it’s about seizing the opportunity. There is nothing else that truly matters. Nothing else from the past. No record, no previous victories or losses. “It’s all zero-zero now, and the goal is to win.”
