Eagles player with ‘big-play ability’ cleared a big hurdle Sunday. Another one awaits him next week

Eagles safety Sydney Brown took his read steps as he had during training camp, watching the play develop during Sunday’s game against the Giants at MetLife Stadium. Brown saw what was happening in front of him, including Giants wide receiver Malik Nabers breaking on a route to the sideline. Brown sped toward the ball and got a hand on Drew Lock’s pass.

“It was nice to get out there and get a little feel for the game and get some reps off the boys,” Brown said. “I saw it, read it, took a break on it, and should have picked it, but I’m glad to get the PBU.” MORE EAGLES COVERAGE Eagles game review: Fourth-down decisions pay off for Nick Sirianni and the offense Eagles’ 2nd time facing Jaguars’ Doug Pederson has been ‘flexed’ | Here’s when they will play Eagles’ Saquon Barkley not happy with Giants fans booing Daniel Jones Eagles didn’t want to ‘throw a party’ after dominant win over Giants: ‘This is the expectation’.
