### Eagles Face Key Absences in Upcoming Game Against Tampa Bay

The Philadelphia Eagles are facing a significant challenge as they prepare for their game in Tampa Bay, with key players sidelined due to injuries. On Saturday, the team announced that wide receiver A.J. Brown will be missing his third consecutive game because he has not yet recovered from a hamstring injury. Brown began this season on a high note, recording five catches for 119 yards and a touchdown during the Week One victory over the Packers. However, his progress has been halted since then.

In addition to Brown, the Eagles will also be without wide receiver DeVonta Smith, who is dealing with a concussion. This leaves Philadelphia without their top two receivers, complicating their offensive strategy for the game. To mitigate these losses, the Eagles have called up wide receivers Parris Campbell and John Ross from the practice squad to reinforce the passing game.

Adding to their list of absentees, the Eagles also disclosed that linebacker Devin White will miss the game for personal reasons. White, who spent his entire career with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers before joining the Eagles this offseason, has yet to make his debut for Philadelphia.

With these significant roster changes, the Eagles will need to rely heavily on their depth as they aim to secure a win in Tampa Bay.
