Brazil is a business trip for A.J. Brown and the rest of the Philadelphia Eagles. 

Philadelphia opens the season Friday night vs. Green Bay in Sao Paulo, but Brown said his first game out of the country will be just that — a game — with a “bunch of don’t dos."

“This is not a vacation. This is a football game,” said Brown this week during a press conference. 

Brown didn’t play along with other Eagles starters in the preseason, but said it was still productive. That said, Friday night will be the first real test.

“You just don’t know,” said Brown. “It’s still early, we’ve done great things in camp, but that’s camp.”
