The Eagles are playing for the No. 2 seed and the NFC East title, which they would clinch with a win and a Cowboys loss. The likeliest scenario for the Eagles in the playoffs is that they would travel to Tampa Bay to face the Buccaneers in the Wild Card Round next week. FanDuel already has odds posted for a potential Eagles vs Buccaneers Wild Card round matchup at Eagles -3.5, although those odds came off the board after Brown's injury.
Philadelphia is already without wide receiver Devonta Smith, who missed Sunday's game with an ankle injury.
According to our Director of Predictive Analytics, Sean Koerner, Brown is worth approximately one point against the spread for the Eagles.
This is a developing story.
