AJ Brown could miss the Philadelphia Eagles vs Buffalo Bills Week 17 matchup on Sunday. The star WR was listed on the Eagles' latest injury report as DNP on Wednesday. But what caught the eye of fans was the reason Brown missed practice - his teeth.

As per NFL insiders, Brown underwent a dental procedure on Wednesday, a wisdom tooth removal to be specific. The 28-year-old will now have two more chances to mix into drills this week, or else he'll be at risk of carrying a designation into the weekend. He has 44 receptions on 63 targets for 540 yards and four touchdowns this season.

“Would have been wiser for AJ Brown to get his wisdom teeth removed after the season instead of week 17 but hey..” one fan wrote on X, platform formerly known as Twitter.

“If aj brown misses my fantasy championship because he got his wisdom teeth out im gonna be pissed off,” another one added.
