Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown is slurring and drooling and numb ... and funny, after a visit to the dentist that doesn't stop him from going live on social media.

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown had a visit to the dentist on Thursday and underwent a procedure that left him woozy ... but still able to press enough buttons on his phone to communicate with friends - and with you.

Brown, the All-Pro standout, got a moment away from training camp as he got his wisdom teeth taken out.

"I'm alright,'' he slurred, though it's a decent bet that as the Eagles get set to open the preseason this weekend, his mouth will be sore for a bit. He is toughing it out, though, and as is his habit, he is expressing himself - while drooling and mumbling - via his IG page.

Brown, who last year totaled almost 1,500 yards receiving while adding 11 touchdowns as a top target for MVP candidate Jalen Hurts following the Brown trade from the Titans that helped Philly to the Super Bowl, has a fan-friendly way of being accessible here.

And while he is obviously showing the after-effects of the procedure, he's also showing love to Eagles Nation.

"I love you ... I love you!'' he semi-said repeatedly to anybody who is listening.

Brown underwent this procedure right before the Eagles' first preseason game, which is slated for Saturday against the Baltimore Ravens. It is conventional that starters not play in this game; the Ravens have already announced that Lamar Jackson and his ilk. And the Eagles' plans for kickoff, which is set for 7 p.m. ET?

"I gotta go, I gotta go!'' Brown said in the video ... obviously not meaning "go'' as in "play in the game'' but rather "go'' as in, "go pass out.''
