The defending Super Bowl champions are slated to have their full skill position group in order, including A.J. Brown.
Brown has been dinged up this summer, but on the initial injury report, Brown wasn’t even listed. That means he’s fully good to go.
The star WR missed chunks of training camp with a hamstring injury.

He initially left practice on Aug. 1. Reports had indicated he was back at practice Sunday.
Last season, Brown missed three games with a hamstring problem, so the recurrence doesn’t seem ideal, but apparently it’s a non-issue right now.

The Eagles are at their best when they have both Brown and Devonta Smith available as a dominant 1-2 WR punch for Jalen Hurts to throw to. When the passing game is cooking, it opens things up even more for superstar RB Saquon Barkley.
Brown is one of the best wideouts in football. Having him on the field to set the season-opening tone is massive.

Philadelphia Eagles injury report
The Eagles listed five players on their Monday injury report:
Landon Dickerson, G – Back (DNP)
Tanner McKee, QB – Right thumb (DNP)
Andrew Mukuba, S – Hamstring (Limited)
Josh Uche, OLB – Groin (Limited)
Jalen Carter, DT – Shoulder (Full)
Brown was the main skill position question mark. Dallas Goedert also missed some time this summer. Both appear good to go.
