WATCH: A.J. Brown greets Nick Sirianni, Eagles after avoiding serious knee injury

Philadelphia’s best player may have avoided suffering a significant injury.

After a nine-yard catch and run, Brown was tackled hard by the Giants Nick McCloud, as the defensive back forced a fumble and forced the Eagles star down to the turf on his knee.

Brown was eventually helped off and forced to exit the matchup with one catch for five yards.

Philadelphia went on to lose, 27-10, in the regular-season finale, but Brown wasn’t down and was moving around well, meeting his teammates in the tunnel and dapping each player and coach up.
