NFL players are cleared for flag football in the 2028 Olympics. A.J. Brown says he won’t take part.

Last summer, Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts was the face of an NFL campaign promoting Olympic flag football following the Paris Olympics, but at the time, it was unclear whether NFL players actually would get to play in the 2028 Los Angeles Summer Games.

At the NFL meetings Tuesday in Eagan, Minn., the league’s owners voted to let players participate in 2028.

A number of players, including Tyreek Hill, Tua Tagovailoa, and Patrick Mahomes, have expressed interest in competing in the Olympics, if given the opportunity. But Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown plans to opt out.

“I heard the Olympics is during [training] camp? So, no,” Brown said Tuesday before the NFL’s announcement. “So that would be tough. … That would be fun to compete, but me, personally, no. Because of camp, and you guys [the media] would be complaining about, ‘A.J. Brown is not in camp.’ So would the fans. So I’m going to keep the main thing the main thing.”

The 2028 Olympics are from July 14-30, with the dates for flag football to be determined. In 2024, the Eagles reported to their practice facility on July 23, and training camp started on July 24, which would give players a short turnaround, assuming the flag football competition was held during the first week of the Games.

Would NFL owners push back training camp or otherwise accommodate players who wish to participate in the Olympics? Players and teams have three years to address that, but Brown’s out.
