The Philadelphia Eagles are facing significant injury concerns with their wide receivers A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith ahead of their upcoming game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Both players did not practice on Wednesday, with Smith unlikely to clear concussion protocol in time for the game, and Brown's status remains uncertain. If both are unable to play, the Eagles will rely on lesser-known receivers and their key offensive players, Saquon Barkley and Dallas Goedert.
