Eagles WR A.J. Brown out vs. Giants as drama-filled season continues

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown was ruled out for Sunday's game against the New York Giants. He missed each practice session this week with a hamstring injury.

Brown was bothered by a hamstring issue in the summer but has suited up for all seven games this season with the Eagles.

A.J. Brown has been having a drama-filled season season

The three-time Pro Bowl selection had four receptions for 121 yards and two touchdowns in Philadelphia's 28-22 victory over the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday. That production represented a steep increase from previous weeks. He has 29 catches for 395 yards and three scores on the season.

Reports have surfaced that Brown and fellow wide receiver DeVonta Smith were unhappy with the Eagles offense. Brown has been frustrated with his role — which he perceived as too minor — in the Eagles offense and has been taking to social media to post cryptic messages. 

Naturally, as with any disgruntled star player, speculation began to run rampant that the Eagles could trade Brown. Given his skill set, he'd be high on the list for receiver-needy teams. However, it appears that Philadelphia is unwilling to trade Brown — and for good reason.

Eagles will be without a number of players
