The incident occurred midway through the second half when Brown appeared to take contact to the face while engaged with Eagles defensive tackle Jalen Carter . No penalty was called on the play, but Brown was visibly shaken and needed medical attention on the sideline before eventually returning.
After the game, Brown was asked in the locker room what happened when he had to come out. "I took a right strong right hook to my eyeball," said Brown, via Jonathan Acosta of WGRZ.
Brown later provided additional details about why the injury was concerning enough to require further evaluation, explaining that his vision was compromised even after returning to action.

"Make sure that my vision is still good. I to get checked out after this because it's still fogged over," he added. "Just go back out there and try to your job to your best ability… It's just fogged over, so I have to go see the docs after this. But nothing's broken in there, but it's still looks like there's a haze out throughout the room. So just checking it out."
Replays circulating online appeared to show Carter making contact near Brown's eye and neck area, with some videos also suggesting a throat-grabbing motion. Fans quickly accused the Eagles defensive lineman of dirty play, though officials did not flag the sequence and the league has not yet announced any disciplinary action.
Despite Brown's injury, Buffalo managed to score shortly afterward, cutting the deficit to 13-6. The Bills later scored again on a Josh Allen sneak but failed on a two-point conversion , sealing the loss.
