Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown will not play in Monday's Wild Card playoff game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers due to a sprained knee, according to multiple reports.

He could return if the Eagles advance to the NFC Divisional Round.

Brown injured his right leg in the first quarter of last Sunday's 27-10 loss in the team's last regular season game after being tackled and did not return to the game.

Brown had 106 catches for 1,456 yards and seven touchdowns this season for Philadelphia, who lost five of their last six games after starting the season 10-1.
