Once again this season, a lot of questions have surrounded star wide receiver AJ Brown and his future with the team. There seems to be issues between Brown and Jalen Hurts once again.

Devonta Smith and A.J. Brown had monster games on Sunday in a Week 7 over the Minnesota Vikings. They helped Philly snap its two-game skid and improve to 5-2 on the season. Smith had the biggest day. His stats: Brown is the guy who has been speculated as a mid-season trade candidate.
