Philadelphia Eagles star wide receiver A.J. Brown was at practice only as an observer on Wednesday, according to multiple media reports.

Brown is coming off of his most productive game of the season on Sunday in a 28-22 road victory over the Minnesota Vikings. He caught four of six targets for season highs of 121 yards, two touchdowns, 30.3 yards per reception and a long of 45 yards.

Teammate DeVonta Smith hauled in nine of 11 targets for 183 yards -- all season highs -- with one TD.

A three-time Pro Bowl selection, Brown has on occasion expressed his frustration with his role in the Eagles' offense, which can be heavy on the running game and inconsistent in the passing attack despite overall success for the defending Super Bowl champions.

Brown was not targeted until the final drive of the game in the Eagles' season-opening win over the Dallas Cowboys. He caught an 8-yard pass to help Philadelphia seal the 24-20 victory.

After catching five passes for just 27 yards against the Kansas City Chiefs and having a six-reception, 109-yard performance against the Los Angeles Rams, Brown saw nine targets but hauled in only two for 7 yards in Philadelphia's 31-25 win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sept. 28.

Brown declined to speak with reporters after the game, then posted to X a modern translation of a Bible passage that read: 'If you're not welcomed, not listened to, quietly withdraw. Don't make a scene. Shrug your shoulders and be on your way.'

That cryptic communication created a lot of attention on the Eagles' offense, as did a supposed meeting between Brown, quarterback Jalen Hurts and running back Saquon Barkley in the days following a 21-17 home loss to the Denver Browns on Oct. 5. Hurts and Barkley said they talked with Brown, who was more elusive about the details before later clarifying that it was an informal chat in the parking lot.

Brown, 28, gained at least 1,079 yards in each of his first three seasons with the Eagles and helped them win Super Bowl LIX, with 12 catches for 163 yards and two touchdowns over four playoff games last winter. He has 29 catches for 395 yards and three scores this season.

The Eagles (5-2) host the New York Giants (2-5) on Sunday. New York defeated Philadelphia 34-17 on Oct. 9.
