Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown took to social media on Friday to clarify his postgame comments about failing to recall if he met with quarterback Jalen Hurts and running back Saquon Barkley to address the team's issues on offense.

The "meeting" reportedly occurred on Monday, one day after the Eagles' 21-17 loss to the Denver Broncos.

Both Barkley and Hurts confirmed the meeting took place, with Barkley saying it was a "good thing" and stressed that it was not a traditional players-only meeting in which "all hell's breaking loose."

Brown, however, had a different answer when approached by reporters after the Eagles dropped a 34-17 decision to the New York Giants on Thursday.

"I don't recall a meeting. I don't know what you're talking about it," Brown told reporters with a smile. "You need to talk to them. I don't recall. I don't recall."

Brown tried a different approach on Friday.

"Just to clear this up. That wasn't a meeting or a sit-down," Brown wrote in a post to X. " I said 'I don't recall' because it got painted like there was tension and (Saquon) had to step in. That's not true. I was walking to my car, saw them, and stopped to talk. Nothing more."

Brown, 28, has 25 catches for 274 yards and one touchdown in six games this season for Philadelphia (4-2).

Brown has compiled at least 1,079 receiving yards in each of his first three seasons with the Eagles and helped them win Super Bowl LIX, with 12 catches for 163 yards and two touchdowns over four playoff games last winter.
