A.J. Brown was not on the practice field at Lincoln Financial Field on Wednesday as the Eagles began their on-field preparations for their divisional-round playoff game vs. the Los Angeles Rams. No, he didn’t play hooky and go to a Barnes & Noble.

A.J. Brown reading on the sidelines during Sunday's wild-card playoff win catapulted the sales of "Inner Excellence" to the No. 1 best-selling book on Amazon. The Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver didn't seem to mind that the book sales skyrocketed because he was reading it.

Some in the media have criticized Brown’s reading, believing he was frustrated or disgruntled. On Tuesday, Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni responded to those critics and criticized “lazy” journalism or people who give an opinion on a topic without proper research.
