The Philadelphia Eagles believe rookie safety Sydney Brown tore his ACL during Sunday's 27-10 loss to the New York Giants, according to a report from NFL Network.

Brown is set to undergo tests on Monday to determine the extent of the injury, per the report.

In 14 games this season, Brown has recorded 45 tackles. He also has one interception, a 99-yard pick-6 against the Arizona Cardinals in Week 17.

Brown, 23, was selected by Philadelphia in the third round (66th overall) of the 2023 draft out of Illinois.

The Eagles fell 27-10 to New York on Sunday to finish the regular season with an 11-6 record. They are the No. 5 seed in the NFC playoffs, where they will face the fourth-seeded Tampa Bay Buccaneers on the road in a wild-card game on Jan. 15.
