AJ Brown and DeVonta Smith might not be needed but may be available for the Eagles vs Browns
Before the season started, Week 6 looked like a huge matchup of championship-level rosters between the Cleveland Browns and Philadelphia Eagles. Once thought to be the Week 1 game in Brazil, the Browns and Eagles have combined for three victories in nine games.
Philadelphia is coming off of their bye week with a chance to get their record over .500 in a tough NFC East where every team has two or more victories. Cleveland’s season is basically over despite the AFC North not being as rugged as most expected this season.
For Week 6, WRs AJ Brown and DeVonta Smith are expected to return from injuries for the Eagles. While they may not need the reinforcements, they are likely:
My understanding is the #eagles are expecting to have their top WRs A.J. Brown (hamstring) and DeVonta Smith (concussion) back this week vs the #browns.

Brown has only played in the team’s opener when he caught five passes for 119 yards and a touchdown. Smith played in three of Philadelphia’s four contests before going out. He had 21 receptions for 239 yards and a touchdown in those three games.
Cleveland’s defense, along with the rest of the team, has struggled in all phases of the game. Facing two of the better receivers in the game coming off rest could be even more problematic on the road in Week 6.
