ESPN: Eagles legend confirms a sad shocking update between two favorite stars.
A startling update on the Jalen Hurts-AJ Brown situation was given by Brandon Graham.
The Philadelphia Eagles managed to get caught up in the turmoil surrounding two of its top talents despite winning nine straight games this season. The Eagles didn’t have the best locker room vibe following their 22-16 victory over the Panthers.
After the game, when asked what was wrong with the offense, star wide receiver AJ Brown appeared to criticize Jalen Hurts. Brown said “Passing” in response, although he also expressed dissatisfaction with the offense’s appearance.
This sparked rumors that Hurts and his favorite receiver were at odds. Eagles veteran Brandon Graham subsequently verified the locker room discord. The famous Eagles defender made a startling disclosure during a radio broadcast on 94WIP. Hurts and Brown, according to Graham, “were friends, but things have changed” because “life happens”

Although he acknowledged that he was not fully informed about the circumstances, Graham claimed that Hurts was making an effort. According to the seasoned defender, Brown ought to have handled the situation more skillfully and players must not let their private lives interfere with the team’s performance.
To be sure, the Eagles had trouble in Sunday’s passing game. Brown ended the game with four receptions and 43 yards, and they had 83 passing yards overall.
For the first time in his Eagles career, the Pro Bowl receiver missed games, adding to an already miserable season. Brown has amassed 836 yards and four touchdowns in the season’s first ten games. That is basically consistent with his numbers from the previous season, but Brown has apparently been irritated with Hurts.
The quarterback and the star wide receiver fighting before the playoffs is not ideal for any team, but it’s still unclear if there’s more to this tale. This is a worrying situation, particularly for a club like the Eagles that had chemistry problems the previous season.
