The Philadelphia Eagles are coming off a big Week 7 road win over the Minnesota Vikings, but fans have once again found themselves stressing out over something star wide receiver A.J. Brown posted on social media.
Brown had 4 catches for 121 yards and a pair of touchdowns in the Eagles’ 28-22 victory over the Vikings on Sunday at U.S. Bank Stadium in Minneapolis, Minn. The stat line was just about as good as it gets, though Brown probably would have preferred to get more than 6 targets.
On Tuesday, Brown shared a post on social media that had a cryptic caption. While there is no way of knowing what the caption meant, it is sure to breathe more life into the narrative that the All-Pro wideout is unhappy with his role in Philadelphia.
“Using me but not using me,” Brown wrote on Instagram.
The post is even more noteworthy when you consider the way Brown celebrated one of his touchdowns against the Vikings. After he caught a 26-yard score from Jalen Hurts in the fourth quarter, Brown was heard delivering a profane message that included “just throw the f—ing ball!” You can see the video here.
A few weeks ago, Brown shared a post on X that included a bible verse about how to handle frustration. He deleted the post, but his teammates had to answer questions about it. Not long before that, Brown made some questionable remarks about the Eagles’ offense.
Even if Brown’s latest social media caption had nothing to do with the Eagles, he has to know by now that everything he writes will be micro-analyzed. He seems to be just fine with that, regardless of whether it creates a distraction for the team.
