Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown will miss Monday's wild-card matchup against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers due to a knee injury.

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown will miss Monday night's playoff game against Tampa Bay with a knee injury. Brown was hurt in the first quarter of last week’s loss to the New York Giants after a short reception. Cornerback Nick McCloud punched the ball out of Brown’s hands for a fumble, and the two went to the turf at MetLife Stadium.

After the Eagles held a double-digit lead in the first half, the Royals mounted a comeback and cut the lead to a single possession.

BUCCANEERS DEFENSE: OVERALL (23), RUSH (5), PASS (29), SCORING (7). TURNOVER DIFFERENTIAL: Eagles minus-10; Buccaneers plus-8. EAGLES PLAYER TO WATCH: QB Jalen Hurts injured the middle finger on his throwing hand during Philadelphia's regular-season finale against the New York Giants, raising questions about how effective he will be Monday night.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers insist they never doubted themselves. Not after Tom Brady retired. Not even after the Philadelphia Eagles gashed them in an early-season, prime-time matchup that suggested there was a huge gap between themselves and the defending NFC champions.
