Eagles wide receiver AJ Brown has removed all team-related content from any of his social media accounts as he is now a major doubt for Philadelphia’s AFC wild-card game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Monday night.
The 26-year-old three-time Pro Bowler also deactivated his account on X, formerly known as Twitter. He was not on the practice field Thursday due to a knee injury suffered in Week 18 against the New York Giants.
The last time the wideout completely removed himself from social media was in 2022, during contract talks with the Titans, when he removed “TENNESSEE” from his X-bio.
Just a few days later, Brown was traded to the Eagles.
‘MAN OF GOD!’ is the only information Brown has provided on his Instagram bio as of Friday morning.

“This is the same guy who said everything was cool all season,” one Eagles fan tweeted, referencing Brown’s candid press conference in the Philly’s locker room after their loss to the Giants last week.
“So many players do this and nothing comes of it,” another fan commented.
“That profile photo is the nail in the coffin,” another Philly supporter wrote, referencing Brown’s Instagram profile photo of a black sheep.
‘He is gone.’

This season, Brown ranks eighth in total receptions (106) and fifth in receiving yards (1,456).
His seven touchdowns and average of 13.7 yards per game rank 18th and 78th, respectively.
With three days to rest before the Eagles’ playoff game at Tampa Bay, Brown focused on rehabilitation versus field work Thursday.
But according to NBC Sports Philadelphia, he will get two more chances to commit to drills and get himself on track.
