Quinyon Mitchell Shuts Down Eagles’ Pro Bowl WR Injury Concern

Philadelphia, PA – August 14, 2025 — After a joint practice with the Cleveland Browns, news that AJ Brown had tweaked his hamstring sent a ripple of worry through the Eagles fan base.

 But rookie cornerback Quinyon Mitchell — who has already forged a strong bond with Brown in the locker room — says there’s no reason to panic.

“I was right there and saw AJ moving along the sideline,” Mitchell said. “He was still talking, still engaged with the guys. This is just the team making sure he’s as ready as possible for the season. We’ve got three weeks, and I’m confident he’s coming back strong.”

Brown isn’t just an offensive weapon for Philadelphia — he’s the heartbeat of the unit. Since arriving in 2022, he’s been one of the most feared receivers in the NFL, racking up back-to-back 1,400+ yard seasons and making clutch catches in the biggest moments. His combination of strength, speed, and game-changing ability has made him irreplaceable in the Eagles’ quest for NFC dominance.

For Mitchell, AJ Brown is more than just a teammate — he’s a mentor. From day one of training camp, Brown has been there to guide him through reading plays, preparing mentally for game day, and sustaining effort on and off the field. “AJ is the kind of guy you want to go to battle with — not just because of his skill, but because of his heart,” Mitchell said. “He’s helped me understand what it really means to put on that midnight green.”

The Eagles locker room knows exactly what Brown brings, and Mitchell believes keeping him fresh is priority number one. “We fight for each other, and sometimes the best thing you can do is make sure your brother is ready for when it matters most,” Mitchell emphasized.

Team sources confirm Brown will return to practice soon, reinforcing the optimism shared by Mitchell and the rest of the roster. As fans count down to the regular season, the rookie’s message is clear: The Eagles will be ready — and AJ Brown will be a big part of it.
