The Eagles drafted two cornerbacks ( Quinyon Mitchell and Cooper DeJean) and brought back safety C.J. Gardner-Johnson during free agency, but the secondary has not played much better compared to last season when they ranked 31st in the league (252.7 passing yards per game) against the pass.

Brown will miss a second consecutive game with a hamstring injury while Gardner-Johnson (foot) is in a race to play against his former team on Sunday.

The Philadelphia Eagles will be without A.J. Brown on Sunday in New Orleans ahead of their Week 3 game against the Saints, but he isn't the only starter who might miss the game.

Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown, who missed Week 2 with a hamstring injury, has been ruled out for Week 3, according to the team’s injury report that came out on Friday. Brown told ESPN’s Lisa Salters on Monday that he expects to miss a couple of weeks.

C.J. Gardner-Johnson has already missed two rematch games against the New Orleans Saints with injuries on two different teams, so he's probably looking forward to his third chance for some payback. But he was a surprise midweek addition to the Philadelphia Eagles injury

The Philadelphia Eagles have a relatively clean injury report ahead of their Week 3 game against the New Orleans Saints but added safety C.J. Gardner-Johnson to the list on Thursday. Philadelphia listed Gardner-Johnson as a DNP with a foot issue on Thursday, while wide receivers A.J. Brown and Johnny Wilson both appeared as a DNP on today's report.
