Eagles' Hollywood Brown: Secures lone target in Week 9 loss
Rotowire
Brown recorded one catch for 16 yards on one target Sunday in a loss to the Giants.
Brown logged 35 offensive snaps, well behind fellow wideouts Makai Lemon and Darius Cooper (65 snaps apiece). The Eagles were without both DeVonta Smith hamstring) and Dontayvion Wicks (ankle) for the third straight week, but Brown hasn't done much in their absences, tallying just five catches for 63 yards on eight targets during that span. Philadelphia is on bye for Week 10, and if Smith and/or Wicks return for Week 11 versus Pittsburgh, Brown's role figures to decrease.

Eagles' Hollywood Brown: Logs two catches in Week 8 loss
Rotowire
Brown finished Sunday's loss to the Commanders with two catches for 17 yards on two targets.
With both DeVonta Smith (hamstring) and Dontayvion Wicks (ankle) missing the contest, Brown ranked third among Eagles wideouts with 32 offensive snaps. He didn't do much with the opportunity, as the veteran wideout notched just two receptions for the second straight week. If Smith and/or Wicks return in Week 9 against the Giants, Brown may see his role diminish.

Eagles' Hollywood Brown: Trade candidate for Philadelphia
Rotowire
NFL reporter Jordan Schultz reports that teams seeking help at wide receiver will likely call the Eagles about the status of Brown before the Nov. 10 deadline.
Brown's lone regular-season game this season was in Week 2 against the Titans, when he rushed for 12 yards on two carries and did not record a target. He missed the next three games due to an ankle injury and was a healthy scratch for Week 6 against the Panthers, and the veteran wide receiver doesn't appear to be in the Eagles' offensive gameplan moving forward. The Eagles have a 2-4 record, and with franchise quarterback Jalen Hurts (calf) likely out for the rest of the season, the team could be looking to trade Brown and other players by the Nov. 10 trade deadline.

Eagles' Hollywood Brown: Not available for Week 6
Rotowire
Brown (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Panthers.
Brown missed the Eagles' last three games due to an ankle injury, but he avoided an injury designation for Week 6 after logging a full practice Friday. However, the veteran wide receiver will be a healthy scratch for Sunday's game as the Eagles go with six active wide receivers, with the position group led by a returning DeVonta Smith. Brown's next opportunity to play is Week 7 against the Cowboys on Monday, Oct. 26.

Eagles' Hollywood Brown: Limited practice Wednesday
Rotowire
Brown (ankle) was a limited participant at the Eagles' practice Wednesday.
Brown has been sidelined for each of the team's last three contests while nursing an ankle injury, but his limited session Wednesday is a step in the right direction. The wide receiver will have two more chances to log a full practice and officially move past the ankle issue prior to Sunday's matchup with the Panthers.

Eagles' Hollywood Brown: Remains sidelined by ankle injury
Rotowire
Brown (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Jaguars.
An ankle injury will cause Brown to miss a third consecutive game, and his next chance to play is Week 6 against the Panthers on Sunday, Oct. 18. DeVonta Smith (hamstring) has already been ruled out, so Philadelphia's top wideouts against Jacksonville will be Dontayvion Wicks, rookie Makai Lemon and Darius Cooper, with Elijah Moore and Britain Covey also providing depth at the position.

Eagles' Hollywood Brown: DNP again Wednesday
Rotowire
Brown (ankle) did not practice Wednesday.
Brown didn't practice to begin the week after missing the Eagles' last two games. With DeVonta Smith (hamstring) also missing Wednesday's practice, Jalen Hurts may need to rely on Darius Cooper, Makai Lemon and Dontayvion Wicks once again in Week 5 versus Jacksonville. There's a chance Dallas Goedert (knee) will be back as well.

Eagles' Hollywood Brown: Out again in Week 4
Rotowire
Brown (ankle) is listed as out ahead of Sunday's game against the Rams.
Brown didn't practice all week and will now miss his second game of the 2026 campaign. With DeVonta Smith (hamstring) ruled out, Brown could have had an enhanced role if he was cleared to play in Week 4. However, with Brown, Smith and Dallas Goedert (knee) all on the shelf, Dontayvion Wicks and Makai Lemon will likely serve as Jalen Hurts' primary receiving options.

Eagles' Hollywood Brown: Unable to practice Thursday
Rotowire
Brown (ankle) did not participate in practice Thursday, Olivia Reiner of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
Brown suffered an ankle injury in preparation for Week 3, which led to him missing the Eagles' loss to the Bears on Monday night. The severity of his injury is uncertain, but the 29-year-old also opened the week as a non-participant in practice Wednesday. With back-to-back absences, Brown's availability for the Week 4 matchup against the Rams could be in jeopardy should he remain sidelined Friday.

Eagles' Hollywood Brown: Ruled out with ankle injury
Rotowire
Brown (ankle) has been ruled out ahead of Monday's game against the Bears.
Brown suffered an ankle injury during Week 3 prep and has been unable to practice since sustaining the injury. The wide receiver will officially not be suiting up for Monday's game, leaving Darius Cooper to be the No. 4 wide receiver behind DeVonta Smith, Dontayvion Wicks and Makai Lemon.

Eagles' Hollywood Brown: DNP Friday
Rotowire
Brown (ankle) did not participate in Friday's practice.
Brown appeared on Friday's practice report as a DNP. The wide receiver appears to be dealing with an ankle injury, though the severity of the issue remains unclear. If Brown is unable to practice in any capacity Saturday, the chances of the 29-year-old suiting up for Monday night's game against the Bears will be very slim.

Eagles' Hollywood Brown: No action in Week 1
Rotowire
Brown was active but did not play in the Eagles' 24-22 win over the Commanders on Sunday.
Brown signed a one-year contract with Philadelphia in March after notching 49 catches for 587 yards and five scores over 16 regular-season contests with Kansas City in 2025. It's unclear why the wide receiver didn't play Week 1, and he'll look to make his regular-season debut with the Eagles in Week 2 versus Tennessee.

Eagles' Hollywood Brown: One catch in preseason opener
Rotowire
Brown brought in his only target for a four-yard reception in the Eagles' 24-7 preseason loss to the Ravens on Saturday.
Brown's one reception came on the first play of the Eagles' second possession. The veteran receiver doesn't have much to prove in the preseason, and he demonstrated he had plenty left in the tank last season with the Chiefs while posting a 49-587-5 line across 16 regular-season games. Brown will likely slot into the No. 4 receiver role come the regular season, although Makai Lemon's lingering hamstring issue could open the door for the former to enjoy even more opportunity early in the 2026 campaign.

Eagles' Hollywood Brown: In mix among WR corps
Rotowire
Brown enters training camp competing for a role in Philadelphia's wide receiver rotation following the team's trade of A.J. Brown to the Patriots, Glenn Erby of USA Today reports.
Brown signed with the Eagles early in free agency and now finds himself competing for opportunities in a reshaped receiving corps. DeVonta Smith is entrenched as the team's No. 1 wideout, while rookie first-round pick Makai Lemon and tight end Dallas Goedert also stand to benefit from the departure of A.J. Brown. Brown's experience and ability to stretch the field could help him carve out a role, though he faces competition from Dontayvion Wicks and Elijah Moore as training camp approaches. The 29-year-old put up a 49-587-5 line (on 74 targets) across 16 regular-season appearances with the Chiefs in 2025.

Eagles' Hollywood Brown: Links up with Eagles
Rotowire
Brown is slated to sign a one-year contract with Philadelphia, NFL reporter Jordan Schultz reports.
With trade speculation still surrounding A.J. Brown, the addition of the 2019 first-round pick provides some needed depth at wideout for the Eagles behind DeVonta Smith. Across 16 regular-season appearances with Kansas City in 2025, Brown secured 49 of 74 targets for 587 yards and five scores.

Chiefs' Hollywood Brown: Notches three catches in Week 18
Rotowire
Brown gathered in three of six targets for 64 yards during Sunday's 14-12 loss to the Raiders.
With the Chiefs missing out on the playoffs for the first time since 2014, Brown's 2025 campaign officially comes to a close. The 28-year-old wideout posted another middle-of-the-road campaign this season, racking up 49 catches for 587 yards and five touchdowns on 74 targets over 16 games. While he missed one, it's certainly a better sign that the veteran was able to stay healthy for the majority of 2025 after missing all but two games last season, and he'll head to free agency this offseason after only signing a one-year pact with KC prior to this year. Brown doesn't figure to command huge numbers but should have a spot on a roster somewhere again next year.

Chiefs' Hollywood Brown: Three catches in Week 16 loss
Rotowire
Brown caught all three of his targets for 22 yards in the Chiefs' 26-9 loss to the Titans on Sunday.
With Rashee Rice (concussion) and Tyquan Thornton (concussion) inactive against Tennessee, Brown operated as the Chiefs' clear WR2 alongside Xavier Worthy. Unfortunately for Brown, Patrick Mahomes (knee) is out for the remainder of the season, and backup Gardner Minshew suffered a potentially significant knee injury of his own against Tennessee, leaving Chris Oladokun as Kansas City's quarterback by default. It's a lost season for Kansas City, and Brown won't be a recommended fantasy target Thursday against the Broncos.

Chiefs' Hollywood Brown: Practices fully Wednesday
Rotowire
Brown (personal) practiced fully Wednesday.
Brown was unavailable for Sunday's 16-13 loss to the Chargers as he tended to a personal matter. The wideout's full participation in Wednesday's practice has him trending toward returning to the lineup this weekend against the Titans. If that's the case, Brown would bolster a Kansas City WR corps that could be without Rashee Rice and/or Tyquan Thornton (who are both in the NFL's concussion protocol) in QB Gardner Minshew's first start of the season.

Chiefs' Hollywood Brown: Won't play Sunday
Rotowire
Brown (personal) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Chargers.
Brown, who is tending to a personal matter, didn't practice Wednesday, was limited Thursday and then was listed as a non-participant Friday before being deemed out for Week 15. The wideout's next opportunity to return to the lineup will occur Sunday, Dec. 21 against the Titans. In Brown's absence this weekend, Rashee Rice and Xavier Worthy figure to lead the Chiefs' Week 15 WR corps, with JuJu Smith-Schuster and Tyquan Thornton candidates to see added snaps versus Los Angeles.

Chiefs' Hollywood Brown: Scores TD on two targets
Rotowire
Brown caught both of his targets for 20 yards and a touchdown in a 31-28 loss at Dallas on Thursday.
Brown has four or fewer targets in seven straight games, after getting five or more in each of Kansas City's first five contests. He's been efficient with his limited chances, but his snap shares have landed between 33 and 44 percent each week since Rashee Rice returned from suspension. Brown figures to continue in his part-time role Week 14 against Houston.
