Marquise Brown Injury News & Updates

Brown caught both of his targets for 20 yards and a touchdown in a 31-28 loss at Dallas on Thursday.

Brown has four or fewer targets in seven straight games, after getting five or more in each of Kansas City's first five contests. He's been efficient with his limited chances, but his snap shares have landed between 33 and 44 percent each week since Rashee Rice returned from suspension. Brown figures to continue in his part-time role Week 14 against Houston.

Brown reeled in his only target for 10 yards during Sunday's 23-20 overtime victory against the Colts.

Brown hasn't reached pay dirt in any of the last four contests, and he doesn't sport enough target volume to warrant a look in the vast majority of fantasy formats. As long as Rashee Rice, Travis Kelce and Xavier Worthy remain available, they will continue to claim the vast majority of looks in the passing game, while Brown will aim to produce on limited looks.

Brown caught all four of his targets for 40 yards in Sunday's 22-19 loss to the Broncos.

The veteran finished second among Kansas City wideouts in receptions, behind Rashee Rice's six but ahead of Xavier Worthy's three. Brown hasn't seen more than four targets in any of the last five games, posting a 12-172-3 line on 17 targets during that stretch, but he's remained involved in the passing attack since Rice made his season debut. Brown will look to get back into the end zone for the first time since Week 7 in a Week 12 clash with the Colts.

Brown had two receptions on four targets for 73 yards in Sunday's 28-21 loss to Buffalo.

Brown resurfaced after being held without a catch in last week's rout of the Raiders. The Chiefs were playing from behind for most of this contest, which helps explain the deep threat's increased involvement Sunday. Brown's four targets checked in at fourth among Kansas City receiving options, a trend that should continue moving forward now that the team's receiving corps is back to full strength. Brown's reduced role should keep him in deep-league territory for fantasy purposes against the Broncos in Week 10.

Brown (illness) was a full participant at Thursday's practice, Matt McMullen of the Chiefs' official site reports.

Brown missed practice Wednesday due to an illness, but his full participation Thursday indicates the wide receiver has recovered and should be available Sunday against the Bills. His role has decreased substantially since Rashee Rice's return from suspension, with Rice, Travis Kelce and Xavier Worthy all earning more attention from Patrick Mahomes than Brown.

Chiefs coach Andy Reid said Brown (illness) will not practice Wednesday, Matt McMullen of the team's official site reports.

Brown's health will have to be monitored for Week 9, as the veteran wideout will now have two more chances to get back on the practice field ahead of Sunday's road matchup against the Bills. In the two games since Rashee Rice's return to the lineup, Brown played under 40 percent of offensive snaps. He failed to haul in his only target during Monday's win over the Commanders. As a result, even if he's cleared to suit up Week 9, the current state of Brown's involvement on offense will put him off the fantasy radar aside from deeper formats.

Brown was unable to reel in his lone target during Monday's 28-7 win against the Commanders.

Brown saw just 26 snaps during Monday's tilt, marking the second straight game he's seen fewer than 30 snaps. That coincides with the return of star wide receiver Rashee Rice, whose six-game suspension concluded prior to last week's contest versus the Raiders. However, that also coincides with two comfortable wins against the Raiders (31-0) and the Marcus Mariota-led Commanders (28-7), so the passing attack will likely be more relied upon in the coming weeks with the Bills, Broncos and Colts on the schedule.

Brown recorded two catches on four targets for 14 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 31-0 win over the Raiders.

Brown made an early impact in the game, hauling in an eight-yard touchdown to put the Chiefs up 14-0. He was a non-factor after that, mixing in for similar target volume with all of the Chiefs' pass catchers except Rashee Rice. Brown could pop up for decent performances throughout the rest of the season, but the return of Rice will make it difficult for Brown to retain the consistent involvement in the offense he enjoyed in the first half of the campaign.

Brown brought in all four of his targets for 45 yards and a pair of touchdowns in Sunday's 30-17 win over the Lions.

Brown delivered a standout performance under the bright lights of Sunday Night Football when he lifted his team with two trips to the end zone in the second half. The 28-year-old has done an admirable job starting for a thin Chiefs' receiving corps, producing a 30-302-3 line through six weeks of action. The impending doom Brown's managers are currently feeling is the looming return of Kansas City's top WR Rashee Rice. The suspended wideout will return for next Sunday's tilt against the Raiders, potentially eating into his replacement's production in the process. Brown should remain rostered until the dust settles from Rice's return, but expectations should be kept in check for Week 7.

Brown brought in four of eight targets for 48 yards in the Chiefs' 31-28 loss to the Jaguars on Monday night.

Brown tied for second on the Chiefs in targets while checking in third in both receptions and receiving yards. The busy night for the veteran wideout was par for the course thus far this season, as Brown has no fewer than five targets in any of his first five contests. Brown also recorded his first catch of at least 20 yards since Week 1 on Monday night, and he'll continue to profile as a key target for Patrick Mahomes in a Week 6 Sunday night showdown at home against the Lions.

Brown recorded three receptions on five targets for 38 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 37-20 win over the Ravens.

Brown maintained a key role in the Kansas City offense even with the return of Xavier Worthy, as he was one of four pass catchers with at least five targets. He made an 18-yard grab early in the second quarter to set up a field goal, and he capped the Chiefs' scoring with a 15-yard touchdown catch early in the fourth quarter. Since an explosive Week 1 performance, Brown has not reached 50 receiving yards in a game, though he has consistently earned at least five targets.

Brown finished with four receptions on six targets for 42 yards in Sunday's 22-9 win over the Giants.

Brown's monster usage in Week 1 (16 targets) appears to have been an anomaly after the wideout averaged 5.5 targets in the two games since. The speedy receiver did draw a crucial pass interference flag on a deep shot in the waning moments of the first half that allowed the Chiefs to sneak in a field goal before the break. Xavier Worthy (shoulder) and Rashee Rice (suspension) remained out, with the former having a chance to return against the Ravens next Sunday. Brown will continue filling in as one of Patrick Mahomes' top options until both projected starters have returned to action.

Brown hauled in all five of his targets for 30 yards in Sunday's 20-17 loss to the Eagles.

Brown saw his target volume fall back down to earth following last week's 16-target, 10-catch outburst. The veteran wideout still led the Chiefs in receptions, with his five targets only being usurped by Travis Kelce's six in an overall lackluster passing performance Sunday. Brown could see his monster target share cut into if Xavier Worthy (shoulder) continues trending towards playing in Week 3. That said, Hollywood should stick in the starting lineup at least until Rashee Rice (suspension) returns in Week 7. Brown remains a plus PPR play when the Chiefs visit the Giants next Sunday.

Brown brought in 10 of 16 targets for 99 yards in the Chiefs' 27-21 loss to the Chargers on Friday night.

Brown led the Chiefs in receptions, receiving yards and targets, and Xavier Worthy's exit from the game on the fourth play from scrimmage due to a shoulder injury certainly played a part in the former's boost in opportunity. While Brown's mostly short-area role left him just short of the 100-yard mark despite the significant catch volume, he did record a game-long 49-yard reception. Brown's chemistry with Patrick Mahomes was certainly encouraging after the veteran wideout missed the majority of the 2024 regular season due to a sternoclavicular injury, and his hefty workload could come close to being replicated in a Super Bowl LIX home rematch with the Eagles on Sunday, Sept. 14 if Worthy is sidelined for that game.

Chiefs head coach Andy Reid said Tuesday that Brown (ankle) has been a full practice participant this week and will be available for Friday's season opener versus the Chargers in Sao Paulo, Brazil, Sam McDowell of The Kansas City Star reports.

Brown didn't play in any of Kansas City's preseason contests after tweaking his right ankle early in training camp, but he's been able to practice for about two weeks and said that he's feeling "really good" heading into Friday's contest, per Matt McMullen of the Chiefs' official site. With Rashee Rice (suspension) set to miss the first six contests of the season, a healthy Brown could see added involvement in the passing game early on. After requiring shoulder surgery last September, Brown was limited to just two regular-season and three postseason contests with the Chiefs in 2024 and struggled to forge a connection with quarterback Patrick Mahomes, reeling in just 14 of 28 targets for 141 yards and no touchdowns over 159 total snaps.

Brown (ankle) is participating in practice Sunday, and Chiefs head coach Andy Reid said the wideout "should be fine" for Week 1 despite not playing at all during the exhibition slate, Charles Goldman of AtoZSports.com reports.

Brown continues to be on track to play in Friday's team regular-season opener against the Chargers in Brazil. Of the receiver's lack of participation in preseason games, Reid stated, "He's a veteran guy. If he was younger, I'd be more worried about it, but he's a veteran guy that kind of knows how to go about it. He should be fine. And we've got guys who can kind of rotate in, too." Brown's ability to suit up Week 1 is especially important to Kansas City with Rashee Rice suspended for the first six games of the campaign and Jalen Royals (knee) not expected to play against the Chargers.

Brown (ankle/foot) has resumed practicing, Matt McMullen of the Chiefs' official site reports.

Per Matt Derrick of ChiefsDigest.com, Brown did a little work Sunday and will do a bit more Monday, which suggests that the wideout is being eased back in after missing time. In terms of the chances of Brown seeing any action in Friday's preseason finale, Nate Taylor of ESPN.com notes that coach Andy Reid said, "we'll see how he progresses through this thing. It's not a matter of want. He wants to do it. He's taking it slow and we don't want any setbacks."

Brown (ankle/foot) won't play in Friday's preseason contest against the Seahawks, Nate Taylor of ESPN.com reports.

Brown remained sidelined during Wednesday's practice, per Matt McMullen of the Chiefs' official site and the wideout is now slated to sit out his second straight exhibition contest Friday. Brown's last chance to see preseason snaps will arrive Aug. 22 against the Bears.

Brown (ankle/foot) appears slated to sit out Tuesday's practice, Pete Sweeney of ArrowheadPride.com reports.

Chiefs coach Andy Reid talked up Brown's recovery progress Monday, saying that the veteran wideout has resumed running, but he's still not yet ready to log his first on-field action at practice since July 29. Brown's ankle/foot injury kept him from suiting up for Saturday's preseason contest against the Cardinals, and he still looks uncertain for Friday's exhibition matchup on the road at Seattle.

Coach Andy Reid noted Monday that Brown (ankle/foot) is making "great progress" and has resumed running, Nate Taylor of ESPN.com reports.

Per Matt Derrick of ChiefsDigest.com, Reid indicated that Brown is not dealing with a high ankle sprain, but even with the wideout's ankle/foot issue improving, there's still not a timetable for his return to action. Brown thus remains iffy for Friday's preseason contest against the Seahawks.

Brown (ankle) isn't playing in Saturday's preseason contest against the Cardinals, Sam McDowell of The Kansas City Star reports.

Brown's absence from the game was expected, as he's dealing with an ankle injury that has kept him out of practice since July 29. Rashee Rice is also being held out of action Saturday as he deals with a minor groin injury. It's not yet clear if either wideout will play in next Friday's preseason clash against Seattle.

Brown (ankle) remained sidelined at practice Thursday, Matt McMullen of the Chiefs' official site reports.

Given that Brown hasn't practiced since making an early exit from last Tuesday's session, it seems safe to assume that he'll sit out Saturday's preseason opener against the Cardinals. The same applies to fellow WR Rashee Rice, who has missed the Chiefs' last two practices due to a groin injury.

Brown (ankle) isn't practicing Tuesday, Pete Sweeney of ArrowheadPride.com reports.

Brown hasn't practiced since making an early exit last Tuesday. He's unlikely to play in Saturday's preseason opener against the Cardinals, although Chiefs coach Andy Reid suggested last week that the wideout's ankle injury isn't too serious. Brown's absence could open up more first-team reps for JuJu Smith-Schuster, Jalen Royals and/or Tyquan Thornton.

Brown (ankle) didn't practice Wednesday, Matt McMullen of the Chiefs' official site reports.

Brown and Xavier Worthy (concussion) were among a handful players who left Tuesday's practice early, but McMullen indicated afterward that most (if not all) of their injuries don't appear to be long-term concerns. For now, we'll continue to view Brown's status as day-to-day.

Coach Andy Reid noted after Tuesday's practice that he believes Brown will be fine after suffering an ankle injury during the session, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

That said, Rapoport added that Brown figures to undergo testing to confirm the notion that his ankle issue isn't anything major, but for now we'll continue to view the wideout as day-to-day. The same applies to fellow WR Xavier Worthy, who banged his head prior to exiting Tuesday's practice.

Brown suffered an ankle injury during Tuesday's practice, Matt McMullen of the Chiefs' official site reports.

After appearing to sustain a right lower leg injury during Tuesday's session, Brown headed back to the Chiefs' team facility in the front seat of a cart, with coach Andy Reid clarifying afterward that the wideout is dealing with an ankle issue, per Nate Taylor of ESPN.com. For now, consider Brown day-to-day as the team's Aug. 9 preseason opener against the Cardinals approaches.

Brown appeared to sustain a right lower leg injury during Tuesday's practice, Nate Taylor of ESPN.com reports.

Per Matt Derrick of ChiefsDigest.com, Brown subsequently headed back to the Chiefs' team facility in the front seat of a cart to be evaluated. Consider the wideout day-to-day until an update on his status is provided.

The Chiefs signed Brown to a one-year deal worth up to $11 million on Saturday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Brown missed most of the 2024 regular season due to a sternoclavicular joint injury that he suffered during the preseason. He was able to return in Week 16 against the Texans, and across the Chiefs' final five games of the 2024 campaign (including three playoff games), Brown accumulated 14 catches (on 28 targets) for 141 yards. With a full offseason under his belt, Brown will look to stay healthy and give Patrick Mahomes a speed-threat option in the passing game for the 2025 season.

Chiefs general manager Brett Veach said Tuesday at the 2025 NFL Scouting Combine that the team "will look to get [Brown] back," Sam McDowell of The Kansas City Star reports.

Brown, who missed the first 15 weeks of the 2024 season due to a sternoclavicular joint injury sustained during Kansas City's preseason opener, is scheduled to become an unrestricted free agent at the start of the new league year March 12. He combined for just 50 yards on five catches (13 targets) across three postseason appearances, but did post 91 yards on nine catches (15 targets) across his two regular-season games. Still heading into just his age-28 season, re-signing with the Chiefs could be Brown's most ideal scenario to retain notable fantasy value for the 2025 campaign. At 100 percent form, Brown's skillset as a vertical threat seemingly makes him an ideal playmaker to pair with quarterback Patrick Mahomes, though Xavier Worthy and Rashee Rice (knee) will project to lead the Chiefs' wide receiver corps, in any case.

Brown finished the 2024 regular season with just nine catches for 91 yards over two games played.

Brown joined the Chiefs on a one-year pact during the offseason aiming to better his contract options this offseason, but a preseason shoulder injury cost him most of the 2024 regular season. He did compile nine catches over the final two regular-season contests but didn't contribute a ton in the Chiefs' three playoff contests, combining for just five catches for 50 yards. The vertical threat has missed time in the last three seasons and hasn't really shined in the last pair. However, he still has a 1,000-yard receiving campaign under his belt and is only entering his age 28 season in 2025, so there will likely be several teams interested in his services as an unrestricted free agent this offseason.

Brown had three receptions on five targets for 35 yards in Sunday's 32-29 AFC Championship Game win over the Bills.

Brown's five targets were second among Kansas City receivers after he finished with zero receptions on two targets against the Texans in the divisional round. The veteran wideout could have had a bigger fantasy score if he was able to secure a deep sideline pass from Patrick Mahomes in the second half that hit him in the hands. Brown joins teammates DeAndre Hopkins and JuJu Smith-Schuster as a group of veteran WRs who could either pop off or produce next to nothing when the Chiefs face the Eagles on Feb. 9 in Super Bowl LIX.

Brown had four receptions on seven targets for 46 yards in Wednesday's 29-10 win over Pittsburgh.

Brown finished third in both targets and receptions for Kansas City, but he failed to bring in any of Patrick Mahomes' trio of touchdown passes in the win. The 27-year-old Brown has produced nine receptions for 91 yards in two games with the Chiefs this season. Brown figures to suit up against the Broncos next Sunday even with his team clinching the No. 1 seed in the AFC after missing the first 14 games of the campaign due to a shoulder injury.

Brown caught five of eight targets for 45 yards in Saturday's 27-19 win over the Texans.

Brown made his long-awaited regular-season Chiefs debut, which was put on hold by a shoulder injury suffered in the preseason. His first contribution was a notable one, as Brown's 12-yard catch on fourth-and-1 extended Kansas City's opening drive, which eventually ended in a Patrick Mahomes rushing touchdown. The speedy wideout wound up leading the team in first-half receiving yards with 38 but tacked on just seven yards after halftime. Brown will look to keep building chemistry with Mahomes against the Steelers on Wednesday.

Brown (shoulder) has been activated from IR ahead of Saturday's game against the Texans.

Brown, who practiced fully Tuesday through Thursday, doesn't carry an injury designation for the contest, which sets the stage for the speedy pass catcher to see his first game action since suffering a sternoclavicular injury on the first play of the Chiefs' first preseason game back on Aug. 10, per Adam Teicher of ESPN.com. In his looming return to a wide receiver corps that also includes Xavier Worthy and DeAndre Hopkins, it remains to be seen what sort of volume Brown will see Week 16, but on the plus side given the nature of the upper-body injury that caused his lengthy layoff, Brown was "able to run and keep himself in running shape," head coach Andy Reid noted Thursday.

Brown (shoulder), who officially remains on IR, practiced in full Thursday and does not carry an injury designation for Saturday's game against the Texans.

Coach Andy Reid said Thursday that Brown has "a good chance" to be officially activated from IR in time to make his season debut Saturday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports. The speedy wideout's lack of an injury designation reflects that optimism. Brown's recovery from left shoulder surgery undergone back in September has prevented him from yet suiting up for a single game this season, so if available Saturday, it wouldn't be surprising to see Kansas City ease him into the offense with a light snap count, with the intention to ramp up his involvement for the playoffs.

Brown (shoulder) is expected to be activated off injured reserve ahead of Saturday's contest against the Texans, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.

The Chiefs will need to make the subsequent roster move in order to activate Brown no later than Friday, but it appears like the speedy wideout is on a direct path to making his season debut in Week 16. It's unclear to what degree Brown will be utilized in his first on-field since Week 14 of the 2023 campaign, but the team will gladly welcome the 27-year-old's field-stretching speed to an offense that has struggled to produce explosive plays this season.

The Chiefs listed Brown (shoulder) as a full participant in Tuesday's practice.

Brown has missed the Chiefs' first 14 games of the season while recovering from mid-September surgery on his left shoulder, but he looks to be closing in on his Chiefs debut. He took a step forward Tuesday by taking every rep in practice, after he had been listed as a limited participant in his return to practice last Friday. Earlier Tuesday, head coach Andy Reid confirmed to Adam Teicher of ESPN.com that Brown will have a chance to play this Saturday against the Texans, but the Chiefs will likely wait until the end of the week before deciding whether to activate the wideout from IR. If available this weekend, Brown could be eased into the mix with a light snap count, but he'll offer the Chiefs a downfield threat that the team has been sorely lacking this season.

The Chiefs are opening Brown's (shoulder) practice window Friday, Albert Breer of SI.com reports.

A previous report suggested it would happen either Friday or Monday, after Chiefs coach Andy Reid confirmed earlier this week that Brown was almost ready to practice. Brown won't play against Cleveland this Sunday and might be viewed as a long shot for Week 16, but it seems he'll return before the end of the regular season unless he suffers a setback in practice. There's now a 21-day window in which Brown can practice without being activated to the 53-man roster.

Brown (shoulder) has received final clearance to practice and should be designated for return from injured reserve Friday or Monday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Brown hasn't played this season due to September surgery that was ordered up to repair the left shoulder injury he suffered during the Chiefs' preseason opener on Aug. 10. On Wednesday, coach Andy Reid told Pete Sweeney of ArrowheadPride.com that Brown was closing in on a return to practice, so Rapoport's report one day later isn't coming out of thin air. Whenever he's able to practice again, Kansas City will have a 21-day window to evaluate Brown for a potential return to the active roster.

Chiefs coach Andy Reid said Wednesday that Brown (shoulder) is "getting close" to practicing and is "chomping at the bit" to return, Pete Sweeney of Arrowhead Pride reports.

Reid declined to provide an estimated date for Brown's return and didn't say how much the wideout would need to practice before playing in a game. Brown presumably will miss Week 15 and probably should be viewed as a long shot for Week 16, but it won't be surprising if he makes it back for the final game or two of the regular season. If nothing else, the Chiefs seemingly expect him to be a major contributor during the playoffs.

Brown (shoulder) is scheduled for a checkup with his surgeon during Week 15 and could receive clearance to resume practicing thereafter, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Brown has been out all season after suffering a sternoclavicular joint injury to his left shoulder in the Chiefs' Aug. 10 preseason opener and then undergoing surgery in mid-September. Though initial reports after his surgery was performed suggested that Brown would likely miss the entire regular season, the wideout has seemingly avoided any setbacks thus far in the recovery process and looks like he'll have a chance to get in a few tune-up games before the playoffs get underway. If Brown's surgeon is satisfied with the health of his shoulder following the upcoming checkup, the Chiefs will likely open the receiver's 21-day practice window before mapping out a target date for his season debut. Rapoport notes that Brown could be ready for game action as soon as Week 16, when the Chiefs host the Texans on Dec. 21.

The Chiefs hope Brown (shoulder) can return to practice in mid-December, Nate Taylor of the Athletic reports.

Brown had shoulder surgery in mid-September, with reports at the time suggesting he was unlikely to play in the regular season but might be back for the playoffs. It now seems he has a chance to play before the end of the regular season, although perhaps only at the very end.

Chiefs coach Andy Reid said Wednesday that Brown (shoulder) is "on scheduled, or a little but ahead" in his recovery from September surgery, Nate Taylor of The Athletic reports.

Reid cautioned that it's "going to be a while" but noted that Brown is a "relentless worker" who seems to be doing well. Reports around the time of the surgery suggested Brown was unlikely to play in the regular season, with any shot to return dependent on the Chiefs making a(nother) playoff run. The team's WR corps has changed considerably since that time, first losing Rashee Rice to a season-ending knee injury and then adding DeAndre Hopkins via trade. Brown and Rice both were at the team's training facility Wednesday.

Brown, who was placed on injured reserve Friday after undergoing surgery to repair his shoulder, is unlikely to play during the regular season, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

The language coming out of Kansas City, both from head coach Andy Reid and Vice President of Sports Medicine and Performance Rick Burkholder, suggested this timeline could be a possibility. While the report leaves open that Brown could rejoin the team in the postseason, it seems as if the speedy wide receiver will be largely unavailable for fantasy managers in 2024.

Brown (shoulder) has been placed on IR by the Chiefs.

Per Matt McMullen of the Chiefs' official site, Brown is slated to undergo shoulder surgery Monday. While the Chiefs don't have a specific timetable for the wideout's return to action, Adam Teicher of ESPN relayed Friday that coach Andy Reid estimated that Brown is set to miss months. In Brown's looming absence, Rashee Rice, Xavier Worthy and Justin Watson are in line to lead Kansas City's wideout corps in the coming weeks, with JuJu Smith-Schuster, Skyy Moore and Mecole Hardman also in the mix to potentially see added snaps/targets.

Chiefs Vice President of Sports Medicine and Performance Rick Burkholder said Friday that Brown (shoulder) is scheduled to undergo surgery Monday and that he is without a timetable to return, Sam McDowell of The Kansas City Star reports.

Brown appears destined to land on injured reserve, as initially reported by Ian Rapoport of NFL Network, though the move has not yet been made official. Coach Andy Reid said Monday the wide receiver's potential return to the field is "not going to be weeks, it's going to be more like months," per Charles Goldman of AtoZSports.com. Burkholder said the decision for Brown to undergo surgery was made after recent imaging revealed a bone in his shoulder had moved, with specialists determining it would be too risky for the wideout to suit up for NFL action. If placed on IR, Brown's earliest possible return date will be Sunday, Oct. 20 versus San Francisco, but it sounds like the Chiefs don't anticipate him being ready to retake the field until late in the 2024 season, at least. In the meantime, JuJu Smith-Schuster, Skyy Moore and Mecole Hardman will continue to see depth opportunities behind starting WR trio Rashee Rice, Xavier Worthy and Justin Watson.

Brown (shoulder) is reportedly in line to head to IR, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network.

We'll await added context as well as confirmation from the Chiefs, but Rapoport's report indicates that the wideout is in line to undergo a procedure to address his shoulder injury. Assuming that's the case, Rashee Rice, Xavier Worthy and Justin Watson will be on track to lead Kansas City's wideout corps in the coming weeks, with JuJu Smith-Schuster, Skyy Moore and Mecole Hardman also in the mix.

Brown (shoulder) won't practice Thursday, Matt McMullen of the Chiefs' official site reports.

Brown was also sidelined for Wednesday's session, which gives him one more opportunity to log practice reps ahead of Sunday's game against the Bengals. If the wideout is forced to miss a second straight contest, Rashee Rice, Xavier Worthy and Justin Watson would once again be on track to lead Kansas City's wideout corps in Week 2, with JuJu Smith-Schuster, Skyy Moore and Mecole Hardman also on hand.

Brown (shoulder) won't practice Wednesday, Nate Taylor of The Athletic reports.

Though Brown won't be a practice participant Wednesday, coach Andy Reid indicated that it's still possible the wideout could be available Sunday against the Bengals. Brown has two more chances to log practice reps before the Chiefs' final Week 2 injury report is posted. In his absence in the team's season opener, Rashee Rice, Xavier Worthy and Justin Watson led Kansas City's WR corps, with JuJu Smith-Schuster and Skyy Moore mixing in.

Brown (shoulder) is nearing a return to the field according to head coach Andy Reid, Charles Goldman of AtoZSports.com reports.

Brown has been working his way back from a sternoclavicular joint injury in his left shoulder that he suffered on Aug. 10. Head coach Andy Reid said Monday that the wide receiver is "getting close" and that "it looks like it's heading in the right direction." Once healthy, Brown will compete with the likes of Rashee Rice, Xavier Worthy and Travis Kelce for targets, likely limiting his fantasy upside in the early going.

Brown (shoulder), who is inactive for Thursday's game against the Ravens, may be able to play in the Chiefs' Week 2 matchup with the Bengals on Sunday, Sept. 15, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Brown is expected to return to practice next week, which would be just a shade over four weeks since he suffered a sternoclavicular joint injury in his left shoulder in Kansas City's exhibition opener in Jacksonville. The typical recovery for such an injury is 4-to-6 weeks, and the sixth-year wide receiver appears to be trending toward the front end of that timetable. Brown likely will need to get through Week 2 prep unscathed for the Chiefs' medical personnel to sign off on him playing on Sept. 15, but there's a distinct chance he'll make his debut with the team on that date.

Brown (shoulder) has been officially ruled out for Thursday night's season opener against the Ravens, per the Chiefs' official site.

It's an outcome that coach Andy Reid previously acknowledged would be the case, which sets the stage for Brown -- who was listed as a non-participant in practice leading up to the contest -- to target a potential return to action Sept. 15 against the Bengals. In his absence Thursday, Rashee Rice, Xavier Worthy and Justin Watson figure to lead the Chiefs' Week 1 WR corps, with JuJu Smith-Schuster, Skyy Moore and Mecole Hardman also in the mix.

Coach Andy Reid said Tuesday that Brown (shoulder) has been ruled out for Thursday's regular-season opener against the Ravens, Pete Sweeney of ArrowheadPride.com reports.

Brown has yet to resume practicing since suffering a left sternoclavicular dislocation Aug. 10, and it never appeared that he had a real chance to be available Week 1. Reid now makes that decision official, though he has noted that Brown's recovery thus far has been encouraging, per Adam Teicher of ESPN.com. Brown's absence will leave opportunities up for grabs behind TE Travis Kelce and top wideout Rashee Rice. Rookie first-round pick Xavier Worthy could be the biggest beneficiary of extra offensive looks, but all of Justin Watson, JuJu Smith-Schuster, Skyy Moore and Mecole Hardman will be candidates to see increased roles to help fill in for brown.

Brown (shoulder) won't practice Monday, Matt McMullen of the Chiefs' official site reports.

The Chiefs open their regular-season slate Thursday night against the Ravens, and coach Andy Reid has acknowledged that the wideout is not expected to be available for the contest. Though Brown appears on track to be officially ruled out by the team ahead of Week 1 action, Adam Teicher of ESPN relays that Reid has noted that Brown's progress in his injury recovery has been very encouraging. In his anticipated absence versus Baltimore, fellow WRs Rashee Rice and Xavier Worthy should have an opportunity to make their mark in fantasy lineups out of the gate.

Brown (shoulder) isn't practicing Sunday, Pete Sweeney of ArrowheadPride.com reports.

Kansas City head coach Andy Reid indicated that Brown is the only Chiefs player who will miss Sunday's practice session. The wideout's absence further supports the expectation that he'll miss the team's regular-season opener against Baltimore on Thursday. With that said, Kansas City elected not to place Brown on injured reserve to open the campaign, so there appears to be optimism that he'll be back in action by Week 4.

Coach Andy Reid said Friday that Brown (shoulder) will not suit up for Kansas City's regular-season opener against the Ravens on Thursday, Sept. 5, Pete Sweeney of ArrowheadPride.com reports.

Brown was given a 4-to-6 week recovery timetable after suffering a sternoclavicular injury Aug. 10, so Reid is simply offering confirmation that his earliest possible return date will come Week 2 versus the Bengals. It's possible that Brown will need longer than that to get full healthy, but the Chiefs' decision not to place him on short-term IR is a vote of confidence from the team that he will need to miss less than four games. For Week 1, Patrick Mahomes' top receiving targets will be TE Travis Kelce, second-year wideout Rashee Rice, rookie first-round pick Xavier Worthy and offseason addition Justin Watson. The team also recently signed JuJu Smith-Schuster and pass-catching running back Samaje Perine as depth boosts.

Brown (shoulder) was present at Monday's practice but didn't participate, Adam Teicher of ESPN.com reports.

Watching from the sideline might be interpreted as a step in the right direction, but Brown remains uncertain for Week 1 after suffering a sternoclavicular injury Aug. 10 in Kansas City's preseason opener. Reports at the time suggested he'd likely be out 4-6 weeks, hinting at a return at some point in September if not in time for Week 1. With Brown unavailable, Xavier Worthy and Justin Watson got most of the first-team snaps at wide receiver alongside Rashee Rice in the Chiefs' second preseason game. The team recently added JuJu Smith-Schuster for depth, but he'll have an uphill battle to earn playing time even if Brown misses a game or two at the beginning of the regular season.

Brown (shoulder) is expected to miss 4-to-6 weeks due to a sternoclavicular injury suffered during Kansas City's preseason opener against the Jaguars, Jordan Schultz of BleacherReport.com reports.

Brown's recovery timetable aligns with coach Andy Reid's earlier indication that his injury is the same that former Chiefs wide receiver Tyreek Hill missed Weeks 2-5 due to back in 2019. The timing makes it appear unlikely that Brown will be available for Kansas City's regular-season opener against the Ravens on Thursday, Sept. 5, though the team has yet to rule him out. If Brown's recovery timeline ends up being closer to six weeks, he could even be a candidate to begin the year on IR. Given that Rashee Rice's legal issues and potential suspension are still pending, that leaves Xavier Worthy, Justin Watson, Skyy Moore and Kadarius Toney as the top guaranteed options in the wide receiver room.

Coach Andy Reid said Monday that Brown (shoulder) is back in Kansas City and won't require surgery after having injured his left shoulder Saturday, Sam McDowell of The Kansas City Star reports.

Brown suffered a sternoclavicular joint injury during Saturday's preseason game versus the Jaguars, which Matt Derrick of ChiefsDigest.com reports was able to be reduced by doctors in Jacksonville. Coach Andy Reid said that back in the 2019 season, former Chiefs receiver Tyreek Hill dealt with a similar injury, which required him to miss Weeks 2 through 5. Reid only said "we'll see" with regards to Brown's status for Week 1, per Pete Sweeney of ArrowheadPride.com, but it looks like the 27-year-old's recovery timetable could jeopardize his availability for the start of the regular season. As long as Brown remains sidelined, added first-team reps figure to be available for Justin Watson, Skyy Moore and Kadarius Toney (back) behind Rashee Rice, who remains at risk of a suspension, and rookie first-round pick Xavier Worthy.

Coach Andy Reid said Brown suffered the same shoulder injury Saturday at Jacksonville that former Chief Tyreek Hill sustained during the 2019 season, Sam McDowell of The Kansas City Star reports.

In the case of Hill, he missed Weeks 2-5 due to a sternoclavicular dislocation that required surgery, per Matt Derrick of ChiefsDigest.com. If Brown follows a similar timetable, his recovery could threaten his availability for Week 1. With Rashee Rice's availability up in the air due to legal woes as well, the Chiefs may enter the upcoming campaign with receiving corps composed of Xavier Worthy, Justin Watson, Skyy Moore and Kadarius Toney (back).

Brown sustained a shoulder injury during Saturday's preseason contest at Jacksonville.

QB Patrick Mahomes connected with Brown on an 11-yard catch on the first play from scrimmage, but afterward the offseason addition appeared to favor his shoulder on the sideline. After a Harrison Butker field goal ended the Chiefs' first drive, Brown was seen making his way to the locker room. Considering it's the preseason and not the regular season, Brown likely has seen his last action of the team's exhibition opener.

Brown (illness) returned to practice Wednesday, Pete Sweeney of ArrowheadPride.com reports.

Brown figures to jump right back in with the first-team offense after missing a few days due to an illness. It'll be one of the few practices so far in which Brown, Rashee Rice and Xavier Worthy are all available, as Worthy missed some time earlier in training camp with an illness of his own.

Brown (illness) returned to practice Wednesday, Pete Sweeney of ArrowheadPride.com reports.

Brown figures to jump right back in with the first-team offense after missing a few days due to an illness. It'll be one of the few practices so far in which Brown, Rashee Rice and Xavier Worthy are all available, as Worthy missed some time earlier in training camp with an illness of his own.

Brown sat out practice Sunday due to an illness, Nate Taylor of The Athletic reports.

Specifics of the illness were not shared, but it doesn't seem like something that will keep Brown out for an extended period. The flashy wideout is set to take on a key role in the Chiefs' passing game this year after signing a one-year deal in March. Though he has the explosiveness to thrive in KC's offense, Brown will need to remain healthy after missing eight contests over the past two years due to injuries.

Coach Andy Reid said Wednesday that Brown (heel) and quarterback Patrick Mahomes have been developing chemistry early on during OTAs, Aaron Ladd of KSHB 41 News reports.

Brown made the highlight play of Wednesday's session with a one-handed catch during 7-on-7 drills, per Matt McMullen of the Chiefs' official site, so it looks like he's put last season's heel injury behind him. Now heading into his age-27 season on a one-year, $7 million contract with the Chiefs, Brown is facing an intriguing fantasy opportunity if he can manage to separate himself from the pack in Kansas City's wide receiver corps, so it's encouraging to see him building some momentum early. Meanwhile, Rashee Rice appears likely to face a suspension at some point during the 2024 season, while Xavier Worth (hamstring) is currently sidelined and could miss a notable portion of OTAs.

Brown (heel) and first-round pick Xavier Worthy are the main new faces in Kansas City's revamped receiving corps, Jacob Sloan of FOX 4 KC reports.

A lot has happened since Brown signed a one-year, $7 million contract in mid-March, starting with fellow Chiefs WR Rashee Rice getting in a six-car, hit-and-run accident that's led to criminal charges. Rice figures to be suspended at some point, though not necessarily soon, with a potential absence leaving Brown, Justin Watson and Kadarius Toney as the top veteran wide receivers. Worthy may be talented enough to jet to the front of that group, coming in as a first-round pick after setting the NFL Combine record for the 40-yard dash (4.21). He'll be one of the few players in the league faster than Brown, albeit with similar questions about his size (5-11, 165) and how that impacts the rookie's transition to the NFL. As for Brown, there's been nothing reported this offseason on the heel injury that ended his 2023 season in Arizona after Week 15. He'll likely be available for offseason practices and figures to line up with the first-team offense.

Brown (heel) signed a one-year contract worth up to $11 million with the Chiefs on Thursday, Dianna Russini of The Athletic reports.

Brown is coming off two underwhelming seasons with the Cardinals, though he was plagued by injuries in both campaigns. He'll now join the prolific Chiefs' offense and should become a top-three option for Patrick Mahomes, behind Travis Kelce and Rashee Rice. Brown may find it difficult to replicate his breakout 2021 campaign during which he commanded 146 targets as a result, but he could see a potential boost to his statistical output due to his new surroundings.

The Cardinals officially placed Brown (heel) on injured reserve Friday.

Coach Jonathan Gannon announced the pending transaction earlier Friday, per Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site, and Brown now will miss the final two games of the campaign. Most of Brown's 2023 output occurred with Joshua Dobbs and Clayton Tune under center, as he mustered only a 9-134-0 line on 24 targets (of his 51-574-4 on 101 targets overall) after Kyler Murray made his season debut Week 10. A heel injury is to blame for Brown's abbreviated season, capping him at 14 appearances, with the final two including early departures. He's an unrestricted free agent this offseason, so it remains to be seen if he'll be retained by Arizona or otherwise opt to move elsewhere.

Coach Jonathan Ganon said Friday that Brown (heel) will be placed on injured reserve, ending his 2023 campaign, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

Brown will miss the remainder of the 2023 campaign due to a heel injury that caused him to miss Week 16, and to log early exits in the Cardinals' previous two games. That ends the worst statistical season of the 26-year-old's career, in which he secured 51 of 101 targets for 574 yards and four touchdowns, while also rushing twice for 23 yards. Granted, part of that context can be explained by Brown playing without Kyler Murray (illness) for the first nine games of the season, then working through injury in the second half. As a pending unrestricted free agent, though, Brown's modest numbers in 2023 could impact the team's decision to pursue a new contract or let him walk.

Brown (heel) didn't participate in Thursday's practice, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

Brown may be trending toward a second absence in a row due to a lingering heel injury that caused early exits from his last two appearances in Weeks 13 and 15. However, he'll have one more chance to get in his first on-field work of Week 17 prep before the Cardinals potentially make a decision on his availability for Sunday's game at Philadelphia. If Brown is out again this weekend, Michael Wilson, Rondale Moore and Zach Pascal will be the top available options at wide receiver for the offense.

Brown (heel) was a non-participant at Wednesday's practice, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.

Brown has yet to log any on-field work since aggravating his heel injury in the second half of a Week 15 loss to the 49ers. It marked the second time in as many games that he made an early exit for the same reason, so the Cardinals clearly are having the wide receiver focus on rehab with the hope he'll be able to make an appearance in one of the final two weeks of the campaign. Still, kicking off Week 17 prep with no activity doesn't leave Brown with much leeway ahead of Sunday's game at Philadelphia.

Brown (heel) is ruled out for Sunday's game at Chicago, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.

Coach Jonathan Gannon made multiple comments earlier this week about hoping to get Brown back before the end of the season, but a decision to rule the wide receiver out for Week 16 before Friday's practice even starts isn't the most encouraging development. Brown made early exits Week 13 and 15 -- sandwiched around a Week 14 bye -- and he's now missed every practice Week 16. The most likely beneficiaries in terms of additional WR snaps/targets are Michael Wilson, Rondale Moore, Greg Dortch and Zach Pascal, though Dortch missed practice Wednesday and Thursday due to a shoulder injury. Brown's next chance to play is Dec. 31 at Philadelphia.

Brown (heel) was a non-participant at Thursday's practice, Tyler Drake of ArizonaSports.com reports.

Brown has made early exits from the Cardinals' last two games Weeks 13 and 15 due to a heel injury that has lingered since Week 12 prep. It appears he's focusing on rehab of the issue versus practice with the hope he'll play again at some point over the final three contests of the campaign. Whether Brown is able to suit up Sunday in Chicago remains to be seen, but the team could clear up his status as soon as it posts the final Week 16 practice report Friday.

Brown (heel) wasn't spotted during the media-access portion of Thursday's practice, Tyler Drake of ArizonaSports.com reports.

If Brown indeed misses practice for a second day in a row, he'll have just one more opportunity to mix into drills this week before the Cardinals potentially make a ruling on his availability ahead of Sunday's game at Chicago. Fellow wide receiver Greg Dortch (shoulder) also wasn't seen on the practice field Thursday, meaning Michael Wilson, Rondale Moore and Zach Pascal are the healthy options at the position on Arizona's active roster.

Brown (heel) isn't practicing Wednesday, Bo Brack of GoPHNX.com reports.

Coach Jonathan Gannon already acknowledged that Brown is uncertain to play Sunday at Chicago, though the Cardinals don't anticipate placing him on injured reserve this week. The wide receiver didn't play after halftime in Arizona's past two games, as he aggravated his lingering heel injury during the second quarter of both contests. A Week 14 bye sandwiched between those games didn't seem to help, and at this point he'd be an extremely risky fantasy option even if he managed to play Week 16 and/or 17.

Coach Jonathan Gannon said Wednesday that Brown (heel) is up-in-the-air for Sunday's road matchup against the Bears, Bo Brack of GoPHNX.com reports.

Gannon confirmed that the weather in Chicago won't factor into the decision on Brown's availability, but it looks like the wideout's heel injury could potentially force him to miss time. Brown is coming off back-to-back games in which he handled significantly less than a full share of snaps, both of which he finished without a catch. Though the Cardinals are reportedly optimistic that Brown won't miss time, clarity on Brown's status for Week 16 likely won't come until the team has had a chance to monitor him in practice.

Coach Jonathan Gannon said Monday that Brown (heel) likely won't be placed on injured reserve, Bob McManaman of The Arizona Republic reports.

Brown has had back-to-back abbreviated outings (Weeks 13 and 15) due to a lingering heel injury and hasn't recorded a catch since Week 12. Still, the Cardinals are holding off on shutting him down for the season, which a move to IR would result in. With the team now set to prepare for Sunday's visit to Chicago, Brown won't be listed on a practice report until Wednesday, but if he requires any absences down the stretch, Arizona will need to lean on Michael Wilson, Rondale Moore, Greg Dortch and Zach Pascal at wide receiver.

Brown departed Sunday's game against the 49ers with a heel injury, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.

Brown dealt with a heel injury prior to each of the Cardinals' last three contests, and he now has exited early for a second straight game. If he's unable to return, he'll finish Week 15 with no targets on his ledger.

Brown (heel) is active for Sunday's contest versus the 49ers.

Brown has been tending to a heel injury since Week 12 prep and even made an early exit from the Cardinals' Week 13 win at Pittsburgh. After the team's Week 14 bye, he followed up no activity Wednesday with back-to-back capped sessions Thursday and Friday before entering the weekend as questionable for Week 15. Adam Schefter of ESPN then reported early Sunday that Brown was in line to suit up, which has come to pass. Brown thus will be taking on a San Francisco defense that has allowed the sixth-highest catch rate (67.3 percent) to opposing wide receivers this season.

Brown (heel), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the 49ers, is expected to play, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Brown was held out of practice coming out of a Week 14 bye but then managed limited sessions Thursday and Friday. This report makes it seem likely he will suit up, but we won't know officially until inactives are announced 90 minutes before the 4:05 p.m. ET kickoff Sunday. Even if he plays, Brown is at risk for an in-game setback like the one that held him out for most of the second half of a Week 13 win at Pittsburgh.

Brown (heel) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the 49ers, Bo Brack of GoPHNX.com reports.

Brown was held out of practice coming out of a Week 14 bye but then managed limited sessions Thursday and Friday. Coach Jonathan Gannon acknowledged Friday that Brown's heel injury is painful and requires management, per Howard Balzer of GoPHNX.com, though Gannon also said he still expects the wide receiver to continue making explosive plays. It thus seems Brown is more likely than not to suit up ahead of the Cardinals' 4:05 ET kickoff this Sunday, albeit with risk for an in-game setback like the one that held him out from the second half of a Week 13 win over Pittsburgh.

Brown (heel) is practicing Friday, Jose Romero of The Arizona Republic reports.

Brown played through the heel injury and handled full workloads Weeks 11-12, but he then missed the second half of a Week 13 win over Pittsburgh and initially was held out of practice when the Cardinals came back from a Week 14 bye. He returned to practice Thursday and now is participating again Friday, suggesting he'll at least try to play this Sunday against the 49ers.

Brown (heel) practiced on a limited basis Thursday, Jose M. Romero of The Arizona Republic reports.

Brown played through a heel injury in the Cardinals' previous two games, but he left the last one early Week 13 at Pittsburgh and wasn't able to return. Even with the benefit of a Week 14 bye, he didn't take part as the team reconvened for practice Wednesday, but his return to some drills one day later keeps the door ajar for him to be available Sunday against the 49ers. Friday's practice report will reveal whether or not Brown enters the weekend with an injury designation for Week 15 action.

Brown (heel) returned to practice Thursday, Tyler Drake of ArizonaSports.com reports.

Prior to the Cardinals' Week 14 bye, Brown tended to a heel injury during Week 12 and 13 prep, but he suited up on both occasions. Still, he exited the latter contest in Pittsburgh during the third quarter and was unable to return. With the benefit of the recent respite and no activity at Wednesday's session, Brown now appears to be putting himself in a position to be available Sunday against the 49ers, though his activity level in Arizona's second Week 15 session won't be known until later Thursday.

Brown (heel) isn't practicing Wednesday, Bo Brack of GoPHNX.com reports.

Coach Jonathan Gannon suggested Monday that Brown likely would practice this week, having benefitted from a Week 14 bye following an early exit from the Week 13 win over Pittsburgh. It's the same heel injury that Brown played through for multiple weeks before his Week 13 setback, and he'll still have two more chances to practice prior to Sunday's matchup with San Francisco.

Coach Jonathan Gannon noted Monday that all signs point to Brown (heel) being able to practice this week, Tyler Drake of ArizonaSports.com reports.

Brown exited the Cardinals' Week 13 win over the Steelers due to a heel injury, but the wideout appears to have benefited from the team's subsequent bye week. Assuming Brown is indeed able to practice without issue in the coming days, he'll have a chance to suit up Sunday against the 49ers, who sit atop the NFC West standings with a 10-3 record.

Brown left Sunday's contest at Pittsburgh due to a heel injury.

Brown didn't practice during Week 13 prep due to a heel issue, so he may have aggravated it upon his departure in the third quarter. If he's unable to return, he'll end Sunday's game with no catches on three targets. With Michael Wilson (shoulder) and Zach Pascal (personal) inactive, Rondale Moore, Greg Dortch, Andre Baccellia and Dan Chisena are left as the Cardinals' healthy and available wide receivers.

Brown (heel) is active for Sunday's game at Pittsburgh.

Brown was held out of drills during the entirety of Week 13 prep due to a heel injury, but coach Jonathan Gannon relayed to Bo Brack of GoPHNX.com on Friday that the wideout was "trending in the right direction" to play Sunday. Adam Schefter of ESPN and Ian Rapoport of NFL Network eventually reported an expectation that Brown would be able to do so, and his availability now has been confirmed. Brown thus will be taking on a Steelers defense that has yielded the eighth-most yards per target (8.6) to opposing wide receivers this season.

Brown (heel) is expected to suit up for Sunday's game at Pittsburgh, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Brown didn't practice in any capacity Week 13 due to a heel injury, but the expectation is nonetheless that Arizona will have him on the field for Sunday's contest. In Week 12, despite missing two of three practices, Brown turned in a six-catch, 88-yard performance on 12 targets. He remains an intriguing fantasy option as long as he manages to avoid the Cardinals inactive list, which will be released 90 minutes ahead of Sunday's 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff.

Brown (heel) is expected to be available versus Pittsburgh on Sunday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Brown has been dealing with a heel injury, which kept him sidelined for all three of Arizona's practices during Week 13 prep. He was also a non-participant in two of the team's three practices last week, but he was still able to suit up for Week 12 loss to the Rams. It looks like he should be in line for a similar trajectory ahead of this Sunday's 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff against the Steelers. Over the first 12 games of the season, Brown recorded 51 receptions (on 98 targets) for 574 yards and four touchdowns.

Brown (heel) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game at Pittsburgh, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.

Brown didn't practice during Week 13 prep due to a heel injury, but coach Jonathan Gannon told Bo Brack of GoPHNX.com on Friday that the wide receiver was "trending in the right direction" for Sunday. With Kyler Murray back in action the last three games, Brown has compiled a 9-134-0 line on 21 targets, but he is coming off a six-catch, 88-yard performance on 12 targets this past Sunday against the Rams. Assuming he's able to suit up this weekend, Brown will be taking on a Steelers defense that has given up the eight-most yards per target (8.6) to opposing wide receivers on the campaign.

Coach Jonathan Gannon said Friday morning that Brown (heel) is "trending in the right direction" ahead of Sunday's game in Pittsburgh, Bo Brack of GoPHNX.com reports.

Gannon said an upcoming bye Week 14 won't impact the inactive/active decision for TE Trey McBride (groin), so that's probably also the case for Brown, who played through the same injury last week and caught six of 12 targets for 88 yards in a 37-14 loss to the Rams. Brown didn't practice Wednesday or Thursday but seemingly still has a chance to suit up Sunday.

Brown (heel) was a non-participant at Thursday's practice, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

Brown was able to play through a heel injury this past Sunday against the Rams, but he also hasn't practiced since last Wednesday. Perhaps Brown doesn't need to get any on-field work in order to be available for game day, but he now has just one more opportunity to practice before the Cardinals potentially tag him with a designation for Sunday's contest in Pittsburgh.

Brown (heel) didn't take part in practice Wednesday, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

Brown managed just one limited practice last week due to a heel injury, but despite receiving a questionable tag for this past Sunday's game against the Rams, he was able to suit up and turn a season-high 12 targets into six catches for 88 yards. He'll have a pair of chances to mix into the drills as the week goes on before the Cardinals potentially make a similar ruling on his potential to play Week 13 in Pittsburgh.

Brown secured six of 12 targets for 88 yards in the Cardinals' 37-14 loss to the Rams on Sunday.

Brown didn't show any ill effects from the heel injury that had him listed as questionable coming into the contest, leading the Cardinals in receiving yards and targets on the afternoon. The performance was Brown's first productive one in the three games Kyler Murray has been under center, perhaps a harbinger of better chemistry down the stretch for the talented duo. Brown and the Cardinals travel to face the Steelers in a Week 13 interconference battle.

Brown (heel) is listed as active Sunday against the Rams, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

Brown opened Week 12 prep as limited due to a toe injury before sitting out Thursday and Friday. After the second absence, coach Jonathan Gannon called it a "precautionary" measure, and then Adam Schefter of ESPN reported early Sunday morning that Brown was in line to play through the issue. With Brown's availability confirmed, he'll be taking on an L.A. defense that has allowed a shade under 10 yards per target (9.96, to be exact) to opposing wide receivers over the last four games.

Brown (heel), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Rams, is expected to play, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Brown looks on track to face Los Angeles, but his status may not be made official until roughly 90 minutes before Sunday's 4:05 p.m. ET kickoff. The return of quarterback Kyler Murray has resulted in a puzzling dip in Brown's production, with the wideout having posted just three catches for 46 yards without a touchdown in his last two appearances. Of course, Brown and Murray have a well-established rapport and should get back on track soon, and the two have a favorable Week 12 matchup. It is concerning to see an injury factor into the equation, though coach Jonathan Gannon called Brown's absences from practice this week "precautionary."

Brown (heel) didn't practice Friday and is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Rams.

Coach Jonathan Gannon termed Brown's absence from practice Thursday as "precautionary," but it's nonetheless concerning for fantasy managers following another absence Friday. The Cardinals and Rams are scheduled for a 4:05 ET kickoff, with Arizona WR Michael Wilson (shoulder) already ruled out for the contest. Rondale Moore, Greg Dortch, Andre Baccellia and Zach Pascal (questionable - hamstring) will try to pick up the slack if Brown ends up joining Wilson on the inactive list.

Brown (heel) didn't appear to be participating in the media-access portion of Friday's practice, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

Brown opened Week 12 prep Wednesday as a limited participant due to the heel issue, but with the receiver tracking toward a second straight absence from practice to close out the week, he doesn't appear to be trending toward playing Sunday against the Rams. The Cardinals will provide an update on Brown's status after Friday's practice, when the team will likely give him a designation for Sunday's contest or rule him out in advance of the weekend. Michael Wilson (shoulder) has already been ruled out for the Week 12 contest, and if Brown ends up sidelined against the Rams as well, the Cardinals would be left with Rondale Moore, Greg Dortch, Zach Pascal (hamstring) and Andre Baccellia at receiver, plus an addition or two from the practice squad.

Brown (heel) was listed as a non-participant on Thursday's injury report, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

Brown's heel issue only emerged Wednesday, when the Cardinals considered him limited. Now that he didn't log any activity one day later, there's a chance he suffered the injury at Wednesday's session, but there's also a chance that Thursday's DNP is a precautionary measure. Ultimately, Arizona may provide some clarity into the situation when it posts its final practice report of the week Friday.

Brown was limited at Wednesday's practice due to a heel injury, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.

Brown previously had his practice reps impacted by a thumb injury during Week 4 prep and again by an illness ahead of Week 6 action, but he hasn't missed any games to date. The return of quarterback Kyler Murray from his torn ACL hasn't helped his production, as he's managed just 40 yards from scrimmage on three catches (nine targets) and one carry the last two games. With another health concern in tow, Brown's status will be monitored as the week goes on to see if he may be inhibited or sidelined Sunday against the Rams.

Brown brought in two of five targets for 18 yards in the Cardinals' 21-16 loss to the Texans on Sunday.

Brown was third on the Cardinals in targets, but the matchup against a Texans defense adept at limiting wide-receiver production got the best of the speedy wideout. Brown has brought in just three of nine targets for 46 yards in the two games he's played with Kyler Murray thus far, but given the previous rapport between the two, that inefficiency could begin to wane beginning with a favorable Week 12 home matchup against the Rams.

Brown had a 28-yard catch on his four targets during Sunday's 25-23 victory over the Falcons.

Otherwise, Brown made no other impact in the box score in a game in which the Cardinals welcomed back quarterback Kyler Murray (knee) for the first time in 11 months. In the eight outings in which Murray started and Brown was available last season, Brown put up a 53-565-3 line on 80 targets, including five performances of 60-plus receiving yards and at least six targets on each occasion. Sunday's chunk play is indicative that some chemistry still is there between Brown and Murray, and the wide receiver will seek out a better outcome next Sunday at Houston.

Brown secured four of eight targets for 28 yards in the Cardinals' 27-0 loss to the Browns on Sunday.

The Cardinals' top pass-catching target did lead the team in receptions, receiving yardage and targets, but his numbers remained modest overall while working with frequently overwhelmed rookie fifth-round pick Clayton Tune as his quarterback. However, better days could be ahead as early as next Sunday, with Brown likely to get Kyler Murray (knee) back as his quarterback for a Week 10 matchup against the Falcons unless Arizona opts to let the star signal-caller's 21-day practice window expire without activating him at the end of the week.

Brown had six receptions on nine targets for 33 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 31-24 loss to the Ravens.

Brown was unable to break off one of his signature big plays against his former club Sunday, but he still delivered from a fantasy perspective via a short touchdown reception. It was the 26-year-old's fourth touchdown through eight weeks, already surpassing the mark he set over 12 games last year. Brown has been providing consistent value while serving as Joshua Dobbs top receiving option this season. That said, Brown and the Cardinals will draw a tough road matchup against Cleveland's elite pass defense next Sunday.

Brown had three receptions off of seven targets for 49 yards in Sunday's 20-10 loss to the Seahawks.

Brown finished as the Cardinals' leading receiver in a loss where starting quarterback Joshua Dobbs threw for just 146 yards with no passing touchdowns. It resulted in the wideout's second subpar fantasy result in as many weeks. Hollywood has been a streaky option over his five years in the league, so inconsistencies can be expected with an inexperienced journeyman under center for Arizona. Brown will have extra motivation to find the end zone in Week 8 when the Cardinals host his former club, the Baltimore Ravens, next Sunday.

Brown secured four of 11 targets for 34 yards in the Cardinals' 26-9 loss to the Rams on Sunday.

Brown, who overcame a mid-week illness to suit up Sunday, led the Cardinals in targets by a wide margin, but his yardage total was his lowest since Week 1. Brown's inefficiency over his last two games stands out, as he's brought in only eight of 21 targets over that span. Nevertheless, he remains Arizona's most proven receiver, and he could be in for a resurgent effort in a favorable Week 7 road matchup against the Seahawks.

Brown (illness) is active for Sunday's game at the Rams, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

Brown kicked off Week 6 prep with an absence from practice due to an illness before capping it with back-to-back limited sessions. Despite receiving a questionable tag for this contest, there was an expectation that he'd be able to play through it, per Adam Schefter of ESPN. Now that Brown's availability is confirmed, he'll be looking to strike against an L.A. defense that has conceded the fourth-fewest touchdowns (two) to opposing wide receivers in five games this season.

Brown (illness), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Rams, is expected to play, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Brown missed practice Wednesday before logging limited sessions Thursday and Friday. It sounds like he will play, but fantasy managers will want to check inactives before the 4:25 ET kickoff this Sunday.

Brown (illness) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Rams.

Brown missed practice Wednesday before logging limited sessions Thursday and Friday. He has a couple more days to get healthy before the 4:05 ET kickoff this Sunday, with history suggesting he's more likely to play than not.

Brown (illness) was limited in practice Thursday, Tyler Drake of ArizonaSports.com reports.

In his return from Wednesday's absence due to an illness, Brown was spotted running routes and catching passes during individual drills one day later, per Tyler Drake of ArizonaSports.com. In the end, though, Brown must not have gotten in much more work, leaving him just one more opportunity to get back to full this week. Ultimately, Friday's practice report will reveal whether or not Brown has a designation ahead of Sunday's road matchup with the Rams.

Brown (illness) participated in Thursday's practice, Tyler Drake of ArizonaSports.com reports.

An illness kept Brown off the practice field Wednesday, but he's back in at least a limited capacity one day later. In the end, his activity level will become known once the Cardinals post their second Week 6 injury report later Thursday. Even with quarterback Joshua Dobbs helming the offense this season, Brown has put together a respectable 25-300-3 line on 42 targets across five contests.

Brown didn't practice Wednesday due to an illness, Tyler Drake of ArizonaSports.com reports.

Brown is no stranger to injury reports in his career, and his Week 6 status now is up in the air. Fortunately for the fifth-year pro, he has chances to practice Thursday and Friday before the Cardinals potentially give him a designation ahead of Sunday's road matchup with the Rams. Brown has been working with quarterback Joshua Dobbs for the entire season, but the wide receiver's production has been on point, resulting in 25 catches (on 42 targets) for 300 yards and three touchdowns in five games.

Brown isn't practicing Wednesday, Jose M. Romero of The Arizona Republic reports.

No injury was reported after Sunday's loss to the Bengals, in which Brown caught four of 10 targets for 61 yards and a touchdown. He's been consistently productive this season, with at least 57 total yards in each game and a TD in three of the past four.

Brown caught four of 10 targets for 61 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 34-20 loss to the Bengals.

While it wasn't an efficient performance -- Arizona quarterback Joshua Dobbs also completed fewer than 50 percent of his passes for the first time this season -- Brown did make a splash with a 25-yard TD catch early in the second quarter. It's his third score in five games, already matching his touchdown total from 2022, and the fourth-year wideout has also seen double-digit targets in three of five contests as Dobbs' favorite downfield option. Brown will look to keep rolling in Week 6 against the Rams.

Brown had seven receptions on 10 targets for 96 yards in Sunday's 35-16 loss to the 49ers.

Brown overcame the thumb injury that threatened his availability during the practice week leading up to Sunday's tilt. The 2019 first-round pick was unable to extend his touchdown streak to three games, but he still provided value with new season highs in yards and receptions. Brown has transitioned well to becoming Arizona's No. 1 receiver following the offseason trade of DeAndre Hopkins. Hollywood is now averaging 5.3 receptions and 59.8 yards with two touchdowns through four games this season. Look for the speedster to continue building a rapport with fill-in starter Joshua Dobbs against the Bengals next Sunday while Kyler Murray (knee) remains sidelined.

Brown (thumb) is active for Sunday's game in San Francisco.

The Cardinals tacked Brown on to the practice report Thursday as a limited participant due to a thumb injury. He maintained that activity level Friday before getting a questionable tag for Week 4. There was an expectation that Brown would be a game-time call, and he indeed avoided being listed as inactive prior to Sunday's kickoff. Through three contests this season, he's made up for lacking receiving totals (14 catches for 143 yards on 22 targets) with a touchdown in back-to-back outings.

Brown (thumb) is expected to suit up for Sunday's game against the 49ers, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Brown is officially listed as questionable for Sunday's road matchup against San Francisco, but it looks like he's trending in the right direction to take the field. The No. 1 wideout has scored in two consecutive weeks, but playing through a thumb injury against an elite 49ers' defense may not be an ideal recipe for success Week 4. Official word on Brown's status will come prior to Sunday's 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff.

Brown (thumb) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the 49ers, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

Brown was a limited practice participant Thursday and Friday, with coach Jonathan Gannon telling reporters Friday morning that he wanted to see the wideout practice before making any decisions for Sunday. Barring further updates, fantasy managers will want to treat Brown as a game-time decision ahead of the 4:25 ET kickoff, with candidates for added playing time in the event of an absence including Rondale Moore, Zach Pascal and Greg Dortch.

Brown (thumb) will practice Friday but could end up a game-time decision for Sunday's matchup with the 49ers, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.

Brown is dealing with a thumb injury that doesn't require surgery, and while he might be able to play through the issue, it's not ideal that he was a mid-week addition to the injury report Thursday, when he was a limited participant in practice. Between the matchup with an elite defense and the possibility of an injured thumb making it tougher to catch passes, Brown holds less fantasy appeal than usual despite posting a 5-61-1 receiving line against Dallas last week.

Brown was limited in practice Thursday due to a thumb injury, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

Brown practiced fully Wednesday, but apparently the wideout injured his thumb during Thursday's session, which makes his status for Sunday's game against the 49ers worth monitoring. Friday's injury report will clarify whether Brown heads into the weekend with an injury designation or cleared to face San Francisco.

Brown caught five of seven targets for 61 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 28-16 win over the Cowboys.

The fifth-year wideout led the Cardinals in catches and got into the end zone for the second straight game, hauling in a two-yard strike from Joshua Dobbs in the fourth quarter. Brown only scored three TDs in 12 games last season, so his early production is an encouraging sign that a breakout campaign could be on its way. However, he could have a hard time maintaining his momentum in Week 4 against another tough defense in the 49ers.

Brown caught six of 10 targets for 54 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 31-28 loss to the Giants.

The fifth-year wideout produced the only score of the second half for the Cardinals after they built a 20-0 lead before halftime, hauling in a three-yard TD pass from Joshua Dobbs midway through the third quarter. Brown's 10 targets also led his team, while his six catches tied Zach Ertz for tops on Arizona. Brown faces a tough test in Week 3 against a Cowboys defense that just held the Jets' Garrett Wilson to only two receptions, although one of them went for a 68-yard touchdown.

Brown caught three of five targets for 28 yards and added 29 rushing yards on his only carry in Sunday's 20-16 loss to the Commanders.

The former Raven helped set up the Cardinals' first points with his 29-yard run on a first-quarter drive that ended in a field goal, but Brown was nearly invisible after that as Arizona's offense failed to produce a touchdown on the day. As QB Joshua Dobbs gets more familiar with the playbook, things could open up a little for the Cards' wideouts, but this still figures to be one of the least potent passing games in the NFL this season. Brown will look for more big plays in Week 2 against the Giants.

Brown (hamstring) is listed as active Sunday at Washington, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

Brown now has dealt with a hamstring injury ahead of each of the last three campaigns. This time around, he was limited in practice during the entirety of Week 1 prep, but the issue won't impact his availability for the season opener. He'll thus serve as one of the top pass catchers for expected starting quarterback Joshua Dobbs, which isn't exactly an ideal situation considering the signal-caller only joined the team on Aug. 24. In 2022, Brown put together a 67-709-3 line on 107 targets in 12 games while working with four different QBs.

Brown (hamstring) is expected to suit up Sunday versus Washington, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Brown is officially listed as questionable for Sunday's game at Washington, but it looks like Arizona's top wideout will be on the field. The same is true for tight end Zach Ertz (knee), which is notable news for an offense that should need all the help it can get. Joshua Dobbs is expected to start over Clayton Tune in Week 1, though the Cardinals haven't yet officially named a starter. Arizona's inactives list, to be released ahead of Sunday's 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff time, will provide an official word on both Brown and Ertz.

Brown (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game at Washington, Bo Brack of GoPHNX.com reports.

He missed some time in training camp with an undisclosed injury and was a limited practice participant Wednesday through Friday this week. If Brown ends up inactive ahead of the 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff, the Cardinals will be left with Rondale Moore, Michael Wilson, Greg Dorth and Zach Pascal as their top options. The team hasn't announced a starting QB yet but is expected to go with Joshua Dobbs over Clayton Tune.

Brown (hamstring) is practicing Friday, Tyler Drake of ArizonaSports.com reports.

Brown has been limited in practice all week but is on track to play Sunday against the Commanders. The veteran speedster is the overwhelming favorite to pace Arizona in targets, but the quality of those looks is a major question, with either Joshua Dobbs or rookie Clayton Tune starting at quarterback. Brown is tough to trust for fantasy purposes.

Brown (hamstring) practiced in a limited fashion Thursday, Bo Brack of GoPHNX.com reports.

Brown continues to operate with a cap on his reps due to a hamstring injury during Week 1 prep. His listing on Friday's practice report will be telling for his potential activity level ahead of Sunday's season opener at Washington. Any sort of limitations from Brown would equate to elevated reps for Rondale Moore, Greg Dortch, Michael Wilson and Zach Pascal.

Brown was limited at Wednesday's practice due to a hamstring injury, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.

Brown is no stranger to lower-body injuries, including to his hamstring, as he dealt with a hammy issue in August 2021 and again during last year's training camp. He didn't miss any official game action as a result, and his ability to handle some reps Wednesday generally is a decent sign the current concern isn't serious. Still, Brown's status should be watched closely as the week goes on to get a sense of his availability for Sunday's game at Washington.

Brown is not expected to play in Saturday's preseason finale, Jose M. Romero of The Arizona Republic reports.

The speedy wideout did see action in last week's preseason performance, but that appears to be the extent of his exhibition workload. Brown is expected to be a critical target for a pass-catching corps that is incredibly young after the release of DeAndre Hopkins.

Brown (undisclosed) brought in one of two targets for 12 yards in the Cardinals' 38-10 preseason loss to the Chiefs on Saturday night.

The speedster had been slowly ramping back up in practice throughout the week after overcoming what head coach Jonathan Gannon labeled as "nicks and bruises." Brown then drew the start Saturday night and made his one catch on the first play of the Cardinals' second possession. Brown's ability to suit up Saturday dispels any concerns about his health and keeps him firmly on track to open the campaign as Arizona's unquestioned No. 1 receiver.

Brown (undisclosed) increased his activity level at Wednesday's practice, Tyler Drake of ArizonaSports.com reports.

Brown was limited Monday and took part in the initial part of Tuesday's practice, after which coach Jonathan Gannon told Bo Brack of GoPHNX.com that the wide receiver was dealing with "nicks and bruises." While Drake noted that Wednesday's session was low intensity, it's still an encouraging sign for Brown to get in some more work. Any reps that Brown is unable to handle will filter down to Rondale Moore, Greg Dortch, Michael Wilson and Zach Pascal, among others.

Coach Jonathan Gannon said Tuesday that Brown is tending to undisclosed "nicks and bruises," Bo Brack of GoPHNX.com reports.

According to Jose M. Romero of The Arizona Republic, Brown was limited at Monday's session before participating in the early portions of Tuesday's practice. Still, Brown isn't clear of his health concern. With a new coaching staff in Arizona, it's unclear how Gannon and company will approach the preseason, but the team's first exhibition is Friday, Aug. 11 versus the Broncos. In the meantime, the Cardinals' top wide receivers are Rondale Moore, Greg Dortch and Michael Wilson.

Brown (foot) returned to practice Wednesday, Bo Brack of GoPHNX.com reports.

Brown was held out of Tuesday's practice for precautionary reasons, but his quick return to the field indicates that the foot issue he was dealing with was nothing concerning. In the wake of the Cardinals' release of DeAndre Hopkins, Brown, who logged a 67-709-3 receiving line in 12 games in 2022 -- is poised to serve as the team's top wide receiver option this coming season, though at this stage it's unclear when starting QB Kyler Murray -- who had surgery to repair a torn ACL on Jan. 3 -- will be able to return to game action.

Brown, who is dealing with a foot issue, was held out of Tuesday's practice, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.

Per coach Jonathan Gannon, the Cardinals elected to hold the wideout out of the session for precautionary reasons, given his previous foot issues. Once Brown -- who logged a 67/709/3 stat line in 12 games last season -- is able to to return to practice, he'll get back to work as Arizona's top wide receiver option following the team's recent release of DeAndre Hopkins. In the mix for snaps behind Brown this coming season are Rondale Moore, Greg Dortch, Zach Pascal and 2023 third-rounder Michael Wilson.

Brown has moved up the wide receiver depth chart in Arizona after the team released DeAndre Hopkins on Friday, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

Due to Hopkins' six-game suspension to start last season and injury concerns for both he and Brown thereafter, the pair only suited up for four games together. With Hopkins out of the picture, Brown will kick off his second season with the Cardinals as the team's top wideout, followed by the likes of Rondale Moore, Greg Dortch, Zach Pascal and rookie third-round pick Michael Wilson. Brown also may not be working with Kyler Murray once Week 1 arrives due to the quarterback's recovery from an ACL tear suffered Dec. 12. In eight contests without Hopkins in 2022, Brown put together a 50-553-3 line on 77 targets.

Brown had one reception on four targets for seven yards in Sunday's 38-13 loss to the 49ers.

Brown failed to take advantage of an elevated role sans DeAndre Hopkins (knee), turning in his worst fantasy performance in the final game of the regular season. The 25-year-old got off to a hot start with his new club in 2022, but injuries derailed both his and quarterback Kyler Murray's (knee) seasons. Brown finishes the campaign with a receiving line of 67-709-3 over 12 games played while catching balls from four different quarterbacks. Arizona already extended Brown's option through 2023, so Hollywood's fantasy value next season will be tied to the health and availability of his star quarterback.

Brown recorded six catches on nine targets for 61 yards in Sunday's 20-19 loss to the Falcons.

Brown didn't see an uptick in opportunity in the absence of DeAndre Hopkins (knee), though he did command at least eight targets for the fourth time in his last five games. Brown was overshadowed by Trey McBride, but he still managed lengthy receptions of 19 and 17 yards. That helped him surpass 60 receiving yards in a game for the first time since Week 6.

Brown secured three of six targets for 57 yards and rushed once for one yard in the Cardinals' 19-16 overtime loss to the Buccaneers on Sunday night.

Brown checked in with the second-highest yardage total on the night through the air for the Cardinals while working with first-time starter Trace McSorley, a development that seemed to cap the speedster's overall production more than the groin issue he'd dealt with during the practice week. Most of Brown's production came on an impressive, contested 47-yard catch late in the third quarter that set up a field goal, helping him to his best yardage tally since he recorded 68 against the Seahawks back in Week 6. Brown will work with either McSorley or Colt McCoy (concussion) again in a Week 17 road matchup versus the Falcons, which could somewhat dull an otherwise very favorable matchup.

Brown (groin) is active for Sunday's game versus the Buccaneers, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

After his addition to the injury report Thursday, Brown wrapped up Week 16 with back-to-back capped sessions due to a groin issue, resulting in a questionable listing ahead of Sunday. It won't stop him from suiting up this weekend, but he'll be working with Trace McSorley under center with Kyler Murray (knee) on IR and Colt McCoy (concussion) unavailable. As such, Brown doesn't have an ideal setup as he looks to build upon the 57-584-3 line on 88 targets that he's put together in nine appearances this season.

The Cardinals list Brown (groin) as questionable for Sunday's game against the Buccaneers, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.

Brown was a mid-week addition to the Cardinals' injury report, after he logged a limited practice Thursday before having his reps capped again Friday on account of the groin issue. The receiver's ability to practice in any fashion to close out Week 16 prep is a good sign, but an official word on his status for Sunday's game likely won't arrive until Arizona releases its inactive list 90 minutes prior to the 8:20 p.m. ET kickoff. If Brown suits up, he'll be on the receiving end of passes from third-string quarterback Trace McSorley, who is picking up his first NFL start with Kyler Murray (knee) on injured reserve and with Colt McCoy (concussion) ruled out for the Week 16 game.

Brown (groin) was a limited practice participant Thursday, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.

Brown is a mid-week addition to the Cardinals' injury report, as he's now tending to a groin issue. After spending Weeks 7 through 11 on IR due to a foot injury, he's dealt with health concerns in back-to-back weeks, with an illness impacting his on-field work during Week 15 prep. Brown still was able to suit up this past Sunday at Denver and log a typical 92 percent share of snaps en route to four catches (on eight targets) for 19 yards. In the end, Friday's report will reveal whether or not he goes into the weekend with a designation for Sunday's contest against the Buccaneers.

Brown recorded four receptions on eight targets for 19 yards in Sunday's 24-15 loss to the Broncos.

Brown finished second on the team with eight targets, but that was the most noteworthy part of his performance. His longest reception went for only nine yards, and he managed only one reception for three yards across the final two quarters of the game. While Brown was likely hampered by playing with Arizona's second and third-string quarterbacks, he was outgained by three Arizona pass catchers. In three contests since returning from injured reserve, Brown now has 119 total yards and has yet to surpass 50 yards in a single game.

Brown (illness) is active for Sunday's game at Denver, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

After an illness sidelined Brown from Thursday's practice, he returned as a limited participant Friday and went into the weekend with a questionable designation. Adam Schefter of ESPN reported late Saturday that Brown was in line to suit up Week 15, which has come to fruition. Brown will be on the receiving end of passes from Colt McCoy for the rest of the campaign following Kyler Murray's season-ending ACL tear. With four games to go in the regular season, Brown has reeled in 53 of 80 targets for 565 yards and three touchdowns in eight appearances, despite a rotating cast of personnel in Arizona's offense.

Brown (illness), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Broncos, is expected to play, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Brown was a limited participant in Friday's practice which seemed to indicate this possibility. The downfield threat could be limited with the switch to backup QB Colt McCoy after the unfortunate injury to Kyler Murray (knee), but it's worth noting Brown did see eight targets in last week's loss when the veteran passer essentially played the entire game. Expect final confirmation on Brown's status to occur sometime before the 4:05 p.m. ET kickoff Sunday.

Brown (illness) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game in Denver, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

Brown's return to a limited practice Friday puts him on track to avoid the inactive list approximately ahead of a 4:05 ET kickoff Sunday. While not much has gone right in Arizona this year, the Cards at least have a strong WR duo in Brown and DeAndre Hopkins to help out backup QB Colt McCoy. With top cornerback Patrick Surtain likely to shadow Hopkins for at least part of the game, Brown figures to run a lot of his routes lined up across from rookie Damarri Mathis and 31-year-old K'Waun Williams (both have been solid this year, but not on Surtain's level).

Brown (illness) returned to practice Friday, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.

Brown missed just one practice and likely will be fine for Sunday's game in Denver. The problems for him this week are a tough Broncos secondary and the presence of backup Colt McCoy under center for Arizona instead of Kyler Murray (ACL).

Brown was a non-participant at Thursday's practice due to an illness, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

After avoiding the injury report entirely Wednesday, Brown made an appearance one day later. Illnesses can be fickle, with a variety of recovery timelines, so his status will be one to watch closely as the week goes on. If Brown enters the weekend with a designation for Sunday's game at Denver, a 4:05 p.m. ET kickoff allows for less players to pivot to if he ends up inactive.

Brown secured four of eight targets for 34 yards in the Cardinals' 27-13 loss to the Patriots on Monday night.

Brown's numbers were naturally affected by the fact Kyler Murray exited the game on the third play of the game with what appears to be a serious knee injury. The speedster's ideal route tree lends itself much better to Murray than veteran quarterback Colt McCoy, who tends to operate much more frequently in the short and mid-range areas of the field. Brown's catch and yardage totals were his lowest since Week 1, but he'll aim to bounce back irrespective of who's under center in a Week 15 road matchup against the Broncos.

Brown recorded six receptions on eight targets for 46 yards in Sunday's 25-24 loss to the Chargers.

Brown returned to action for the first time since Week 6 and immediately led Arizona in targets and receptions. His yardage total was held in check as he worked in short areas of the field. That limited him to only 5.8 yards per target while his longest reception of the day went for 13 yards. The Cardinals will now head into their Week 13 bye, though Brown should be back at near full strength by the time the team takes on New England in Week 14.

The Cardinals activated Brown (foot) from injured reserve Saturday, Darren Urban of the team's official site reports.

With the anticipation over, the Cardinals finally will have the wide receiver duo of DeAndre Hopkins and Brown available in the same game for the first time this season Sunday against the Chargers. Coach Kliff Kingsbury has said that Brown likely will be on a "pitch count" of sorts in his first action since Week 6, according to Urban. Still, Brown's presence could mean for a more potent Arizona offense, as he put together a 43-485-3 line on 64 targets in the first six contests of the campaign.

Coach Kliff Kingsbury said Friday he expects Brown (foot) to play Sunday against the Chargers, Tyler Drake of ArizonaSports.com reports.

The Cardinals designated Brown for return from injured reserve last Wednesday and had him out on the practice field again this week. Kingsbury did say Wednesday that the speedy wideout was likely to be on a pitch count in his first game back after missing more than a month with foot injury, but it does at least sound like Brown is on track to play. It'll essentially be official if/when the Cardinals activate him from IR on Friday/Saturday.

Coach Kliff Kingsbury said Wednesday that Brown (foot) likely will be on a "pitch count" Sunday against the Chargers if the Cardinals activate him from injured reserve, Darren of the team's official site reports.

The Cardinals designated Brown for return from IR last Wednesday, but he didn't do enough in practice to get back on the active roster for Monday's eventual loss to the 49ers. Now that he's taking part in drills for a second consecutive week, he may have a better shot to play Sunday, but if he's active he likely won't take on a full allotment of snaps. Arizona's receiving corps is banged-up at the moment, with Rondale Moore (groin) expected to miss Week 12 and Greg Dortch (thumb) not taking part in Wednesday's walkthrough. As a result, Brown still could make an impact working behind DeAndre Hopkins and potentially ahead of A.J. Green and Robbie Anderson if he's available and Moore and Dortch aren't.

Brown (foot) wasn't activated from injured reserve ahead of Monday night's game against the 49ers, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

The Cardinals designated Brown for return from injured reserve this past Wednesday, but the wideout isn't quite ready to suit up for game action and will thus target a potential return in Week 12 against the Chargers. In the meantime, look for DeAndre Hopkins -- who is listed as a questionable for Monday's game but trending toward playing -- along with Rondale Moore and A.J. Green to lead the team's Week 11 wideout corps, with Robbie Anderson and Greg Dortch also in the mix.

Brown (foot) isn't expected to be reinstated from injured reserve ahead of Monday's game against the 49ers in Mexico City, Jordan Schultz of TheScore.com reports.

Arizona will have until 4 p.m. ET on Monday to formally decide whether to add Brown to the 53-man roster for the Week 11 contest, but given that the receiver first resumed practicing this past Wednesday after missing the past four games with the left foot injury, it doesn't come as a major surprise that the team is leaning toward holding him out against the 49ers. On a positive note, Schultz relays that Brown is "feeling much better" and hopes to make his return to the lineup Week 12 against the Chargers, though his availability for that contest will hinge on how he fares during the Cardinals' next three practices. Brown's expected absence for at least one more game leaves the Cardinals with DeAndre Hopkins (hamstring), Rondale Moore, A.J. Green, Robbie Anderson and Greg Dortch as their options at receiver.

Brown (foot) took part in some individual drills at Thursday's practice, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.

After suffering what was initially a potentially season-ending left foot injury in Week 6, Brown has spent nearly a month on injured reserve, from which the Cardinals designated him for return Wednesday. With a 21-day window open to prove his health, he managed to mix into some individual work to begin Week 11 prep, looking crisp running routes and hauling in passes. Brown may not be cleared for Monday's game against the 49ers in Mexico City, but Arizona at least may have a decision to make about bringing him back to the active roster in the coming days.

Cardinals head coach Kliff Kingsbury said Brown (foot) has a chance to play in Monday's game against the 49ers, Tyler Drake of ArizonaSports.com reports.

Brown was designated to return from injured reserve earlier Wednesday and now will be evaluated on the practice field. If the Cardinals don't deem Brown ready to play Monday, he could make it back for a Week 12 matchup against the Chargers, after which Arizona will go on bye.

Brown (foot) is being designated for a return from injured reserve, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

Brown can practice as soon as Wednesday, opening a 21-day window before he needs to be activated from IR. The Cardinals presumably hope to have him back much sooner than that, perhaps even as soon as Monday's game against the 49ers. Brown averaged 7.2 catches for 80.8 yards and 0.5 TDs over the first six weeks of the season, before missing the past month with a foot injury while DeAndre Hopkins took over as Arizona's high-volume, No. 1 receiver.

Coach Kliff Kingsbury said Monday that Brown (foot) is "getting close" and would definitely be back after the team's Week 13 bye at the latest, per Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site.

Brown was placed on injured reserve Oct. 20 due to a foot injury he suffered in Week 6 and was expected to be sidelined 4-to-6 weeks. Per Tyler Drake of ArizonaSports.com, Kingsbury added that the wideout "is getting to the point where he's going to be day-to-day," but the Cardinals won't rush him back until he's 100 percent. Before the injury, Brown secured 43 of 64 targets for 485 yards and three scores, but all of that production came when DeAndre Hopkins was sidelined due to a suspension.

The Cardinals placed Brown (foot) on injured reserve Thursday, Darren Urban of the team's official site reports.

This move was expected after Brown sustained a foot injury this past Sunday in Seattle that's slated to keep him sidelined for at least one month. He'll thus miss at least the Cardinals' next four games and perhaps more considering the aforementioned timeline. With Brown joining Antoine Wesley (hip) on IR, Arizona's receiving corps now consists of DeAndre Hopkins, Rondale Moore, A.J. Green, Robbie Anderson and Greg Dortch.

Coach Kliff Kingsbury said Wednesday that Brown (foot) will be sidelined at least one month, Jose M. Romero of The Arizona Republic reports.

A second opinion confirmed as much for the left foot injury that forced Brown out in the second half of the Cardinals' Week 6 loss at Seattle. While the nature of the issue isn't known, he seems a likely candidate to be placed on injured reserve considering the timeline. In Brown's absence, the recently activated DeAndre Hopkins will resume leading Arizona's passing game, with Rondale Moore, A.J. Green, newcomer Robbie Anderson and Greg Dortch also candidates for targets at wide receiver.

Brown was listed as a non-participant on Monday's practice estimate, and coach Kliff Kingsbury termed the wide receiver "out indefinitely" due to the left foot injury that he sustained Sunday in Seattle, Kevin Parrish of the Cardinals' official site reports.

Brown departed Arizona's Week 6 loss in the second half and was wearing a boot on his left foot afterward. While initial X-rays came back negative, he's getting a second opinion to learn the severity of the injury and also determine a timeline to return to action, if possible, per Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. In the end, Brown is slated for a multi-week absence, at the very least, which may have spurred the Cardinals' trade for Robbie Anderson on Monday. While Anderson may not immediately make an impact in the team's receiving corps, DeAndre Hopkins is back from a six-game suspension to begin the season, and Rondale Moore, A.J. Green and Greg Dortch also are on hand to man the position for Thursday's matchup with the Saints and beyond.

An MRI revealed Brown's foot fracture won't require surgery and could only sideline him for six weeks, but the wideout will get a second opinion before moving forward, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

This is certainly an encouraging development after news dropped earlier Monday that Brown may miss the remainder of the season, but the extent of the foot injury remains unclear. The Cardinals recently traded for Robbie Anderson and activated DeAndre Hopkins to the active roster following a six-game suspension, so those two should assume the majority of Brown's offensive responsibilities.

Brown suffered a potentially season-ending foot injury during Sunday's loss to the Seahawks and will undergo further testing Monday to determine the severity of the issue, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Brown's X-rays came back negative, but he had a walking boot on his left foot following Sunday's loss. The extent of issue remains unclear, but based on Schefter's report, there's a possibility the wideout could miss the remainder of the season. Arizona has already begun to mitigate its loss by trading for Robbie Anderson, who'd grown disgruntled in Carolina, and will likely get DeAndre Hopkins back from a six-game suspension in Week 7. Regardless, Brown was by far the Cardinals most productive offensive player through six games, totaling 43 receptions for 485 yards and three scores, so his loss will be a major blow to Arizona's offense.

X-rays on Brown's ankle came back negative, but he had a walking boot on his left foot after Sunday's 19-9 loss to the Seahawks, Darren Urban of the Cardinals's official site reports.

While Brown didn't break any bones, the boot suggests he may have suffered a ligament injury. A high-ankle sprain could mean a 4-6 week absence for Brown, who caught five of nine targets for 68 yards before getting hurt. Even recovering from a milder low-ankle sprain would be an uphill battle before Thursday's Week 7 clash with the Saints, but at least Arizona's expected to get fellow wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins back from suspension for that one.

Brown needed help to get to the locker room in the second half of Sunday's game against the Seahawks, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN reports.

Weinfuss' ESPN colleague Field Yates reports that Brown couldn't put any weight on his ankle after being rolled up on. Brown had five catches for 68 yards prior to being injured. With a short week ahead of him before Thursday's game against the Saints, Brown could miss at least one additional game.

Brown caught eight passes for 78 yards on 10 targets against Philadelphia on Sunday.

Brown could have had another touchdown if not for a dropped pass, but he can only be criticized so much considering his box score was still very clean overall. Brown has generally been productive for the Cardinals and his fantasy investors, and in Week 6 he gets a Seattle defense that seemingly can't cover anyone, least of all a blur like Brown.

Brown (foot) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Eagles, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.

Brown and A.J. Green (knee) both were full practice participants Friday and avoided the final injury report, while Rondale Moore (knee) is listed as questionable and likely will be a game-time decision. Brown gets a tough matchup against the Eagles and their talented CB duo (Darius Slay, James Bradberry), but it's tough to take him out of lineups when he's averaging 11.3 targets per game and has scored at least 12.8 PPR points each week. The nature of his production has been quite different from most of his time in Baltimore, with Brown relying on volume rather than big plays and seeing more of his targets near the line of scrimmage. He's notable avoided any drops this year, but has yet to produce a gain of more than 26 yards.

Brown (foot) was limited at Thursday's practice, Tyler Drake of ArizonaSports.com reports.

Dating back to Week 4 prep, Brown's last three listings on Cardinals injury reports have been limited, DNP and limited due to a foot issue. At the very least, his increase in work from none Wednesday to some one day later is a step in the right direction for the team's top wide receiver. Brown's status may gain some clarity upon the release of Friday's injury report, and if he eventually is cleared to play Sunday versus the Eagles, he'll be looking to extend his streak with 10-plus targets to four consecutive contests.

Brown (foot) returned to practice Thursday, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

Brown was a late addition to the Cardinals' injury last Friday, when he was limited in practice by a foot issue and entered the weekend as questionable. He ended up playing Week 4 at Carolina on his way to six catches (on 11 targets) for 88 yards and one touchdown in a 26-16 win. The same injury popped up again this week, as Brown was a non-participant Wednesday. Now that he's back on the field, though, he's setting himself up to be available Sunday against the Eagles.

Brown didn't practice Wednesday due to a foot injury, Tyler Drake of ArizonaSports.com reports.

Brown showed up on the Cardinals' Week 4 injury report Friday with a listing of limited due to rest/foot. He was able to play Sunday at Carolina and earn a typical 94 percent of the offensive snaps on his way to six catches (on 11 targets) for 88 yards and one touchdown. However, Brown now isn't practicing at all to begin Week 5 prep, so his status bears watching as the weekend approachs to get a sense of his availability for Sunday's game versus the Eagles.

Brown caught six of 11 targets for 88 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 26-16 win over the Panthers.

His 23-yard grab in the fourth quarter capped the scoring for the Cardinals. Brown has seen double-digit targets in three straight games, posting a 26-296-1 line on 39 targets over that stretch as he continues to solidify his spot as Kyler Murray's top option while DeAndre Hopkins (suspension) remains out. The Arizona passing game faces a tough test in Week 5 against the undefeated Eagles, however.

Brown (foot) is listed as active Sunday at Carolina.

Despite capping Week 4 prep with a limited practice due to a foot issue, Brown will be available to the Cardinals offense, as expected. With fellow wide receivers DeAndre Hopkins (suspension) and A.J. Green (knee) absent, Brown again should serve as the team's top receiver, which has resulted in a 20-208-0 line on 28 targets the last two games.

Brown (foot), officially listed as questionable, is expected to play Sunday against the Panthers, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Brown was added to the injury report Friday, though he still managed a limited session. While that casts some doubt over his status Sunday, he appears probable to suit up. Kyler Murray is likely to look Brown's way quite often, as A.J. Green (knee) has been ruled out and DeAndre Hopkins (suspension) remains sidelined.

Brown (rest/foot) is questionable for Sunday's game in Carolina, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.

Brown made a sudden appearance on the Cardinals' Week 4 injury report Friday, logging a limited session as he tends to a foot issue. If he's able to avoid the inactive list ahead of Sunday's 4:05 p.m. ET kickoff, he again will be poised for significant volume in a receiving corps that'll be without DeAndre Hopkins (suspension), A.J. Green (knee) and Antoine Wesley (hip, IR).

Brown caught 14 of 17 targets for 140 yards in Sunday's 20-12 loss to the Rams.

Kyler Murray set new career highs in both passing attempts and completions, and while all that volume resulted in only four field goals, Brown was by far his favorite target. The 140 receiving yards represented the former Raven's best performance since he hauled in a career-high 147 yards in his NFL debut back in 2019, and Brown could be poised for big numbers again in Week 4 against a Panthers secondary that just got torched for 147 yards by New Orleans rookie Chris Olave.

Brown caught six passes for 68 yards on 11 targets against Las Vegas on Sunday.

Brown has been running his routes from DeAndre Hopkins' former position -- the left outside receiver spot -- but the returns have been lacking through two weeks. His 17 targets in Arizona have resulted in 10 catches for 111 yards and one touchdown, which isn't enough for how much Arizona depends on Brown while Hopkins is suspended. The Cardinals will hope to get Brown going against Tennessee.

Brown caught four of six targets for 43 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 44-21 loss to Kansas City.

The former Raven has a quiet first half in the Cardinals debut, but Brown connected with Kyler Murray on a six-yard score early in the fourth quarter. With DeAndre Hopkins suspended and Rondale Moore dealing with a hamstring strain, Brown figures to be Murray's top target in the early going this season as he looks to improve on the career-high 91 catches and 1,008 yards he put up in 2021.

Brown is not in line to play in Saturday's preseason finale against the Titans, according to Jose M. Romero of The Arizona Republic.

As a result, Brown is next in line to see game action in Week 1 against the Chiefs. At that point, he'll be in line to serve as the Cardinals' No. 1 wideout, with DeAndre Hopkins (suspension) slated to sit out the first six games of the season.

Brown isn't slated to play in Sunday's preseason game against the Ravens, but he said Wednesday that his hamstring currently is 100 percent, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

Brown landed in Arizona on Day 1 of the draft back in April via a trade with the Ravens, but his training camp so far has included a stint on the non-football injury list and a slow ramp up since returning to practice Aug. 2. He didn't experience his first on-field work with quarterback and college teammate Kyler Murray (wrist) until this Monday, at which point the Cardinals were seen operating in 10 personnel, with Brown and Rondale Moore as slot receivers and DeAndre Hopkins and A.J. Green manning the outside, per Urban. Whether or not Arizona's offense actually utilizes the Air Raid this season remains to be seen, but Brown should benefit early on with his new squad with Hopkins suspended for the first six games of the campaign.

Coach Kliff Kingsbury said Monday that Brown (hamstring) and Kyler Murray (wrist) practiced for the first time together since the start of training camp, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

Both players have dealt with injuries in camp, with Brown getting back on the field last week, which coincided with limitations on Murray's practice reps due to a sore wrist. It's unclear if either or both were able to handle every drill Monday, but the Cardinals showed evidence of testing out the Air Raid, with Brown and Rondale Moore in the slot and DeAndre Hopkins and A.J. Green as outside receivers, per Paul Calvisi of Arizona Sports 98.7 FM. The team won't be able to operate with that personnel Week 1 due to Hopkins' six-game suspension to begin the season, but his lack of availability should be a boon for Brown, who was reunited with Murray, his college quarterback, back in April.

Brown (hamstring) took part in individual drills off to the side during Monday's practice and is expected to return to full-team work by Wednesday, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.

Head coach Kliff Kingsbury suggested that Brown would increase his activity Tuesday, and if all goes well, the wideout will be back to full speed by the middle of the week. Even if that comes to fruition, Brown is unlikely to play in Friday's preseason opener in Cincinnati, given the lack of full practice sessions he has under his belt up to this point in training camp.

Brown (hamstring) isn't practicing Thursday but is down on the field watching his teammates, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.

Coach Kliff Kingsbury said earlier this week that he hoped to get Brown back in individual drills by Friday and back to full participation by Monday. That could still happen, though it isn't looking great at this point. Brown's recent arrest for speeding is less of an issue, as it didn't cost him any practice time and isn't likely to lead to an NFL suspension.

Brown (hamstring) was arrested Wednesday morning in Phoenix, Ariz. on criminal speeding charges, Jose M. Romero of the Arizona Republic reports.

Brown has been slowed by a hamstring issue during the first week-plus of training camp, kicking it off on the active/non-football injury list before returning to drills Tuesday. At that time, coach Kliff Kingsbury noted of Brown, "We're just easing him back. And we want to start off with the walkthroughs. And then I'm hoping by the end of the week he can start some (independent work), and then I'm guessing Monday full go if everything stays on course." Per Arizona Sports 98.7 FM, Brown wasn't present to the portion of Wednesday's practice open to the media, and the reason for his absence has been revealed. It remains to be seen when he's back on the field at 100 percent, but a legal matter now is plaguing him as well.

Brown (hamstring) will be eased back into practice after the Cardinals removed him from the non-football injury list Tuesday, with coach Kliff Kingsbury saying the wideout may not be a full participant until Monday, Bob McManaman of The Arizona Republic reports.

Brown was on the NFI list for the first week of training camp after injuring his hamstring in a training session over the summer. He spent plenty of time on the injury report in three seasons with Baltimore but missed only three of a possible 52 games (including playoffs). The Cardinals don't seem too worried about his current issue, counting on Brown to be ready for Week 1 while fellow wideout DeAndre Hopkins serves the first game of a six-week suspension.

The Cardinals activated Brown (hamstring) from the non-football injury list Tuesday morning, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Brown can now practice with his teammates, after missing the first week of training camp due to a hamstring injury he reportedly suffered during a private workout over the summer. He may be eased into practice with his new team, as there's a high recurrence rate for soft-tissue injuries -- and perhaps even more so for speed-dependent players. Brown has nearly six weeks to ramp up before Arizona's season opener against the Chiefs, at which point teammate DeAndre Hopkins will being serving a six-game suspension.

Coach Kliff Kingsbury is hopeful Brown (hamstring) returns to practice "next week at some point," Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports. "I don't know when, but that's our hope," Kingsbury added Friday.

The Cardinals placed Brown on the active/non-football injury list Tuesday due to a hamstring issue, giving him a chance to practice at any point during training camp once he's healthy. With more than a month before the regular season, he'll have plenty of time to reach 100 percent, but getting back on the field will be the first step in that process. Once he's available, Brown is poised to serve as the team's top wide receiver Week 1, when DeAndre Hopkins' six-game suspension kicks in.

Brown has been placed on the Cardinals' non-football injury list due to a hamstring issue, Darren Urban of the team's official site reports.

The wideout is eligible to come off the list whenever he is ready to practice, but Brown is now slated to miss some time, with Arizona's training camp about to open. Once he's able to return to the field, Brown will look to cement his key role in a wideout corps that will open the coming season minus DeAndre Hopkins, who has been suspended for six games out of the gate for violating the NFL's policy on performance-enhancing substances. While Hopkins is out, Brown will be in line to serve as Kyler Murray's top wideout option, with A.J. Green, Rondale Moore and Antoine Wesley also in the mix for targets.

Brown may need to take on a larger role in the Cardinals offense to begin the upcoming season after DeAndre Hopkins was suspended six games Monday for violating the NFL's policy on performance-enhancing substances, Lindsay Jones of The Athletic reports.

Arizona made a splash on Day 1 of the 2022 Draft when it acquired Brown and a third-round pick for the team's first-rounder. He was slated to operate with Hopkins and A.J. Green at wide receiver in the base offense, but Brown now should assume No. 1 duties as of Week 1 of the campaign. Brown is coming off the first 1,000-yard season of his pro career in 2021 and previously worked with quarterback Kyler Murray at Oklahoma in 2018, compiling a 75-1,318-10 line in a high-powered scheme. With Hopkins out of the picture for six contests, Brown's primary competition for targets will be Green, Rondale Moore and Antoine Wesley at wide receiver, tight ends Zach Ertz and rookie second-round selection Trey McBride and top running back James Conner.

GM Steve Keim said the Cardinals will exercise the fifth-year option on Brown's rookie contract after acquiring the wide receiver in a draft-day trade with the Ravens on Thursday, Darren Urban of the team's official site reports.

As part of the exchange, Baltimore received the 23rd overall pick in this year's draft, while Arizona gained the speedy Brown and pick No. 100 on Friday. Brown has experience playing with Kyler Murray at Oklahoma, and the former is coming off a three-year stretch in which he upped his catch and yardage totals each season, culminating with a 91-1,008-6 line on 146 targets in 2021. With the Cards, Brown joins a group of wide receivers that boasts DeAndre Hopkins, A.J. Green and Rondale Moore, along with tight end Zach Ertz and running back James Conner.

The Ravens dealt Brown and a 2022 third-round pick to the Cardinals for the 23rd overall selection in this year's draft, Field Yates of ESPN reports.

The Cardinals added another big-play threat to its receiving corps, but instead of bringing in a rookie via the draft they're reuniting Brown with college teammate Kyler Murray. While working together at Oklahoma in 2018, Brown was among Murray's top wideouts en route to the latter winning the Heisman Trophy. Since then, Brown was a first-round pick of the Ravens in 2019, increasing his catch and yardage totals in each of his three pro campaigns. Last year, he wrangled 91 of 146 passes for 1,008 yards and six touchdowns in 16 games. With the move to Arizona, Brown joins a skill-position group that features DeAndre Hopkins, James Conner, Zach Ertz, A.J. Green and Rondale Moore, among others.

General manager Eric DeCosta said Friday he expects the Ravens to pick up Brown's fifth-year option, Jonas Shaffer of The Baltimore Sunreports.

Baltimore will need to make a decision on Brown's fifth-year option by May, and picking up the deal would keep the speedy wideout in house through 2023. Though Brown did lose steam in terms of production down the stretch of the 2021 campaign, he spent much of that time operating with Tyler Huntley under center instead of Lamar Jackson (ankle), and also battled injuries of his own. A more optimistic perspective of Brown's third-year efforts, which saw him surpass 1,000 receiving yards for the first time in his career, could argue that the 24-year-old looked like a legitimate No. 1 option during the first half of the year. Through the first nine contests Brown exceeded the century mark three times and caught six touchdowns.

Brown brought in three of seven targets for 27 yards in the Ravens' 16-13 overtime loss to the Steelers on Sunday.

Brown was a distant second to Mark Andrews in receptions, receiving yards and targets on the afternoon to close out the campaign rather quietly. The third-year speedster did manage to get over 1,000 receiving yards for the first time in his career with Sunday's production, finishing at 1,008 alongside 91 receptions over 16 games. Brown's campaign did close with back-to-back three-reception efforts, but considering he played with Tyler Huntley and not Lamar Jackson (ankle) in those contests, the downturn is largely explainable.

Brown (ankle) doesn't carry an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Steelers.

The speedy wideout returned to a full practice Friday after missing Thursday's session, which sets the stage for him to suit up this weekend. In the process, Brown will once again be catching passes from QB Tyler Huntley, with Lamar Jackson (ankle) ruled out by the Ravens. Brown is coming off a Week 17 effort in which he caught three of his eight targets for 28 yards in a loss to the Rams.

Brown (ankle) missed practice Thursday.

Brown practiced fully Wednesday, so his status is now worth monitoring as Sunday's game against the Steelers approaches. Unless the speedy wideout practices fully Friday, however, he'll likely head into the weekend with a Week 18 injury designation.

Brown caught three passes for 28 yards on eight targets against the Rams on Sunday.

It's been a brutal month for Brown, who's seen 39 targets over his last four games yet has just 156 yards to show for it. Tyler Huntley doesn't have much downfield ability as a passer, so that has likely made it tougher to get Brown involved, and in the case of this game it's possible that Brown's effectiveness suffered in light of missing practice with an illness earlier in the week. It might be difficult for Brown to produce if Lamar Jackson (ankle) sits out again in Week 18, but hopefully Brown at least has a full week of practice to prepare himself either way.

Brown (illness) is active for Sunday's game against the Rams.

The Ravens tagged Brown as questionable for the Week 17 contest after he was unable to practice Thursday and Friday while battling a non-COVID-19-related illness, but the wideout made enough progress leading into Sunday's game to avoid inactive status. Though he's not expected to face any limitations against Los Angeles, Brown will likely draw shadow coverage from star Rams cornerback Jalen Ramsey for most of the contest. In addition to being followed by Ramsey, Brown will have to make do without Lamar Jackson (ankle) for the third week in a row. In each of the previous three games with either Tyler Huntley or Josh Johnson under center, Brown has produced a 20-128-0 receiving line on 31 targets.

Brown (illness) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Rams after missing practice Thursday and Friday.

Brown's status is thus worth closely monitoring, though fortunately for those considering him in Week 17 fantasy lineups, the Ravens kick off at 1:00 ET on Sunday. If he ends up out or limited this weekend, added opportunities would be available for Sammy Watkins and Rashod Bateman, as well as Devin Duvernay (ankle), if he's made active versus Los Angeles.

Brown (illness) wasn't present for Friday's practice, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.

Back-to-back practice absences recorded by the wideout are concerning, though it remains to be seen how the team lists his his Week 17 availability. Added clarity with regard to Brown's chances of suiting up Sunday against the Rams should arrive upon the posting of the Ravens' final Friday injury report and/or transactions.

Brown didn't practice Thursday due to an illness.

Brown was a full practice participant Wednesday, so his absence Thursday is notable. At this stage, it's unclear if the wideout's illness could impact his availability for Sunday's game against the Rams, but a return to the field, in any capacity, on the part of Brown on Friday would be reassuring to those considering him in Week 17 fantasy lineups.

Brown caught five passes for 44 yards on nine targets against Cincinnati on Sunday.

As the Ravens' smallest receiver Brown is the easiest one for a quarterback to miss, and he tends to suffer when playing with a quarterback who struggles to throw downfield. Lamar Jackson definitely has more of an inclination to throw deep than Tyler Huntley (illness) or Sunday's starter Josh Johnson, so it's not terribly surprising that Brown's efficiency fell off with that change at quarterback. It's not clear who will be taking snaps for the Ravens when they face the Rams in Week 17.

Brown caught 10 of 14 targets for 43 yards in Sunday's 31-30 loss to the Packers.

Brown was fill-in quarterback Tyler Huntley's release valve underneath, racking up the receptions but going for minimal average yardage. In fact, the speedster's longest reception went for just seven yards. While it certainly wasn't Brown's most explosive outing, his consistent involvement actually saw him turn in his first regular-season performance with double-digit catches of his career. That accomplishment helped Brown's stock Sunday, but potentially getting starting quarterback Lamar Jackson (ankle) back in Week 16 versus the Bengals could elevate his fantasy ceiling.

Brown (illness) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Packers.

The Ravens will thus have their top wideout available for Sunday's contest, but he'll be catching passes from Tyler Huntley, with Lamar Jackson (ankle) not able to start. Brown nonetheless figures to see his share of Week 15 targets, as he'll continue to head a Baltimore wide receiving corps that will be minus Sammy Watkins (reserve/COVID-19 list). Through 12 games, Brown has logged a 70-866-6 stat line on 107 targets.

Brown (illness), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Packers, is expected to play, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Brown was listed as limited on Friday's practice estimate, but the Ravens held a walk-through rather than actually practicing. Still, he returned after a non-COVID illness kept Brown from practicing Thursday. Schefter's report continues the encouraging trend, but check Brown's status before the 4:25 PM ET kickoff.

Brown (illness) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Packers, Jamison Hensley of ESPN reports.

Brown was listed as limited on Friday's practice estimate, but the Ravens held a walk-through rather than actually practicing. Still, that's a step in the right direction after a non-COVID illness kept Brown from practicing Thursday. If he suits up, which quarterback will be throwing Brown the ball won't be determined until shortly before game-time, as Lamar Jackson (ankle) is listed as questionable after failing to practice in any capacity throughout the week.

Brown (illness) returned to practice Friday, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.

The wideout's return to practice Friday after missing Thursday's session bodes well for his chances of playing Sunday against the Packers. The Ravens' upcoming injury report will reveal whether Brown heads into the weekend with a designation or cleared for Week 15 action.

Brown missed Thursday's practice due to an illness, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports.

Brown's status will thus need to be monitored as Sunday's game against the Packers approaches. The wideout was a full participant in practice Wednesday, but his absence Thursday places the focus on what -- if anything -- he's able to do during Friday's session.

Brown had five receptions (eight targets) for 41 yards in Sunday's 24-22 loss to Cleveland.

Backup quarterback Tyler Huntley took over for Lamar Jackson early in the contest after Baltimore's star and leader had to be carted off with an apparent ankle injury. Mark Andrews and Rashod Bateman both eclipsed the century mark in receiving yards, but Brown was unable to break loose with either quarterback under center. The speedy wideout is in a bit of funk, averaging just 46 yards with no touchdowns over his last four contests. Hollywood is still on pace to break the 1,000-yard mark with 866 yards through 12 games this season.

Brown reeled in five of seven targets for 55 yards during Sunday's 20-19 defeat in Pittsburgh.

Brown broke a streak of four straight games with double-digit targets, seeing his fewest since Week 6. Additionally, his stretch without a touchdown extended to four contests after he notched six in seven games prior to the Ravens' bye. Brown already has attained career highs in catches and yards, and his next target will match his number (100) from a full 16-game slate last season. He'll seek a more fruitful outing next Sunday during a road jaunt to Cleveland.

Brown (thigh) had eight receptions (10 targets) for 51 yards in Sunday's 16-10 win over the Browns.

Brown returned from a one-game absence and appeared to be moving freely following a thigh injury. It wasn't a big volume game from a yardage standpoint, but the speedy wideout finished with double-digit targets for the fifth time over his last six appearances. Brown remains Lamar Jackson's favorite target, but he is still reliant on breaking off big plays with just one touchdown over his last five games (five touchdowns over previous five). The 24-year-old will attempt to take the top off of Pittsburgh's secondary in an important AFC North matchup next Sunday.

Brown (thigh) is listed as active for Sunday night's game against the Browns.

Prior to missing last weekend's game against the Bears, Brown had logged a dozen or more targets in three straight contests, with his overall per-game production rate through nine outings checking in at 5.8 catches on 9.1 targets for 79.9 yards. Barring any in-game setbacks, the fleet wideout should continue to see his share of volume in a Baltimore offense that welcomes back QB Lamar Jackson, who sat out Week 11 action due to a non-COVID-19-related illness.

Brown (thigh), who is listed as questionable for Sunday night's game against the Browns, is likely to play barring a pre-game setback, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Brown was a limited practice participant Wednesday through Friday, after missing his first game of the season last Sunday in Chicago. Schefter's report backs up the notion he's likely to return this week, but fantasy managers will still want to make sure he's active before the 8:20 PM ET contest.

Brown (thigh) is listed as questionable for Sunday night's game against the Browns, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.

Brown was a limited practice participant Wednesday through Friday, after missing his first game of the season last Sunday in Chicago. He's one of 10 Ravens listed as questionable for Sunday night, and while Brown's thigh injury doesn't seem to be too serious, he may come down to a game-time decision. Meanwhile, QB Lamar Jackson is back in the lineup and reportedly feeling healthy after an illness kept him out for Week 11.

Brown (thigh) was a limited participant Wednesday in his return to practice, Nate Ulrich of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.

With no report of the injury being serious, Brown's return to practice after missing one week tentatively puts him on track for Sunday's game against the Browns. He had three straight games with a dozen or more targets prior to missing Week 11, and his per-game averages now stand at 5.8 catches for 79.9 yards and 0.67 TDs on 9.1 targets.

Brown (thigh) was spotted at practice Wednesday, Jonas Shaffer of The Baltimore Sun reports.

Brown sat out this past Sunday's win over the Bears, so his return to the field Wednesday is a good sign with regard to his chances of returning to action this weekend against Cleveland. The Ravens' upcoming practice report will provide clarity in terms of Brown's participation level.

Brown (thigh) has been downgraded to out for Sunday's game against the Bears.

Brown mustered just one limited practice throughout the week, paving the way for his first absence of the season. Sammy Watkins and rookie Rashod Bateman are expected to start at wide receiver for the Ravens, who are still awaiting clarification on the status of quarterback Lamar Jackson (illness), who remains listed as questionable.

The Ravens list Brown (thigh) as questionable for Sunday's game against the Bears.

Brown's thigh injury kept him from practicing Wednesday and Thursday, but he was able to get back on the field in a limited capacity Friday to keep the door open for himself to play this weekend. Given his lack of full reps this week, Brown could be viewed as a game-time call leading up to the 1 p.m. ET kickoff, but if active, the wideout should continue to fill a high-volume role in the Baltimore passing attack. The Ravens could be without two depth receivers, as Miles Boykin (finger) has been ruled out for Week 11, while Devin Duvernay (knee) is listed as questionable.

Brown (thigh) is participating at Friday's practice, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports.

Brown was unable to practice Wednesday and Thursday due to a thigh injury, but he's back on the field Friday and should have a chance to suit up this weekend. Rashod Bateman (illness) also returned after missing the first two practices of the week, so Baltimore's receiving corps could be at full strength Sunday in Chicago.

Brown (thigh) missed practice again Thursday, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports.

Now that he's missed back-to-back sessions, what Brown is able to do at practice Friday will be pivotal with regard to his chances of suiting up for Sunday's game against the Bears. Over his last three games, Brown has averaged 13 targets, en route to catching 20 passes in that span.

Brown (thigh) didn't practice Wednesday.

Brown was on the field for 55 of a possible 73 snaps on offense in last Thursday's loss to the Dolphins, en route to catching six of his 13 targets for 37 yards. It remains to be seen if Brown's absence from practice Wednesday was maintenance-related or indicative of an issue that could impact his status for Sunday's game against the Bears, but a return practice Thursday in any capacity would presumably put the speedy wideout (who's logged 39 targets over his last three outings) on track to suit up this weekend.

Brown brought in six of 13 targets for 37 yards and committed a fumble that was recovered by the Ravens in a 22-10 loss to the Dolphins in Thursday night.

The 24-year-old speedster was done in by an effective Dolphins scheme that saw Miami take away the deep ball consistently, which left Brown with his second-lowest yardage total of the season. Brown's sub-50-percent catch rate was also a disappointment and his second in the last three games, although on the bright side, he's now logged between 12 and 14 targets in his last three contests. Brown's first opportunity to bounce back comes a week from Sunday when the Ravens travel to Chicago for a Week 11 interconference clash with the Bears.

Brown (back) has no injury designation for Thursday's game in Miami, Adam H. Beasley of the Miami Herald reports.

Brown was listed as a full practice participant Tuesday and Wednesday, following an LP designation to start the week. He should be all set for his usual role, with Sammy Watkins' potential return from a hamstring injury more relevant to the outlooks for Rashod Bateman and Devin Duvernay. The 24-year-old Brown is sitting on 46-682-6 through eight games, well on his way to hitting career highs before the calendar turns to December.

The Ravens listed Brown (back) as a full participant on Tuesday's estimated practice report.

Baltimore held a walk-through session Tuesday, but Brown's "full" listing implies that he wouldn't have had any limitations if the Ravens ran a traditional practice session. Brown's graduation from a limited listing Monday suggests that he's at no risk of missing a matchup with the Dolphins on Thursday, when he could be shadowed by star cornerback Xavien Howard for most of the evening. Brown cleared the century mark in receiving yardage for the third time in eight games in last week's overtime victory over the Vikings, producing a 9-116-0 line on 12 targets.

Brown (back) was listed as a limited on Monday's practice estimate.

Brown was on the field for 80 of a possible 98 snaps on offense in Sunday's 34-31 overtime win over the Vikings, en route to catching nine of his 12 targets for 116 yards. At this point there's been nothing to suggest that the wideout's status for Thursday night's game against the Dolphins is in any danger, but Brown will probably need to log a listed full practice by Wednesday in order to avoid a Week 10 injury designation.

Brown secured nine of 12 targets for 116 yards in the Ravens' 34-31 overtime win over the Vikings on Sunday.

After putting together a highly inefficient performance against the Bengals before the Week 8 bye that saw him bring in just five of 14 targets, Brown bounced back to play a critical role in the overtime victory. The speedster not only paced the Ravens in receptions, receiving yards and targets, but he also made three critical receptions during what turned out to be Baltimore's game-winning drive in overtime. Brown now has a pair of 100-yard efforts in his last four contests and at least 80 receiving yards in three games during that span overall. His quest to extend that favorable stretch has a reasonably good chance of success in a Week 10 road matchup against the inconsistent Dolphins defense on Thursday night.

Brown caught five of 14 targets for 80 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 41-17 loss to Cincinnati.

After a quiet first half, Brown broke free for a go-ahead 39-yard touchdown early in the third quarter, doing well to stay inbounds. It was all Bengals after that, though it was encouraging to see Lamar Jackson pepper Brown with targets once the Ravens were forced to turn to the air. The fleet-footed wideout has 37 catches for 566 yards and six touchdowns heading into Baltimore's Week 8 bye in what has been a breakout season for Brown.

Brown caught four of five targets for 35 yards against the Chargers.

Baltimore's passing game was held in check to the tune of 167 yards Sunday. Brown's target volume tied a season-low with five, though he caught nearly everything thrown his way at an efficient clip. The Ravens face the Bengals at home in a big AFC North showdown Sunday.

Brown caught four of five targets for 91 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 23-7 win over the Broncos.

While he didn't see a lot of volume, Brown didn't need much to make an impact. On a deep route in the second quarter, the third-year receiver split two defenders with a burst of speed and then laid out in midair to haul in Lamar Jackson's toss for a highlight-reel 49-yard score. Brown has found the end zone three times through four games, and he'll look for more big plays in Week 5 against the Colts.

Brown (ankle) caught three of seven targets for 53 yards in Sunday's 19-17 win over the Lions.

Brown had a trio of costly drops in the first half, all of which likely would have gone for lengthy touchdowns. He ended up with a quiet stat line as a result of those miscues after finding the end zone in each of his first two games, but the 2019 first-round pick continues to play a major role in the Ravens' offense as the team's top downfield target. Baltimore will likely dial up more deep shots for the speedster against the Broncos in Week 4, and Brown will look to put these drops behind him.

Brown (ankle) is active for Sunday's game at Detroit, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports.

Brown played through the same injury last week and put up a 6-113-1 receiving line against the Chiefs. However, it is possible his ankle has gotten slightly worse, as he avoided an injury designation for Week 2 after logging a full practice Friday. This time, Brown was a limited participant Friday and listed as questionable on the final injury report. Still, he's off to a fantastic start this year, and he'll now be playing indoors against one of the weakest cornerback groups in the league.

Brown (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Lions after returning to a limited practice Friday.

Brown is one of eight players listed by the Ravens as questionable this week, but his return to practice Friday, albeit in limited capacity, is a positive indicator regarding his status for Sunday's 1:00 ET kickoff. The wideout was also listed as questionable heading into Week 2 action, yet logged a 72 percent snap share, en route to catching six of 10 targets for 113 yards and a touchdown in this past Sunday's 36-35 win over the Chiefs.

Brown (ankle) is participating at Friday's practice, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports.

Brown was limited at Wednesday's practice before sitting out Thursday, so it's a good sign to see him back on the field to finish the week. The 24-year-old should have a chance to suit up Sunday versus the Lions, and Friday's final injury report of the week will indicate whether or not he receives an injury designation.

Brown (ankle) wasn't present for Thursday's practice, Jonas Shaffer of The Baltimore Sun reports.

Brown was limited Wednesday, but it's possible that his absence from practice Thursday is maintenance-related, rather than indicative of a setback. Friday's final injury report of the week will reveal whether the wideout approaches Sunday's game against the Lions with a Week 3 injury designation.

Brown (ankle) was a limited practice participant Wednesday, ESPN's Jamison Hensley reports.

Brown was listed with the same injury last week before catching six of 10 targets for 113 yards and a touchdown in Baltimore's 35-36 win over the Chiefs. He now leads the team in every major receiving category, including targets (16), despite playing a few less snaps (71 percent) than fellow wideout Sammy Watkins (88 percent). The Ravens rarely call a pass play without Brown on the field, and he's accounted for five of Lamar Jackson's eight completions on deep and intermediate throws.

Brown (ankle) secured six of 10 targets for 113 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 36-35 win over the Chiefs.

Brown continued his strong start to the 2021 campaign with his first 100-yard game of the year and his second trip to the end zone. The 24-year-old was nursing a sore ankle during practice this week, but he appeared to be fully healthy when he burned the Chiefs' secondary and caught Lamar Jackson's incredible leaping pass for a touchdown. Hollywood is starting to finally look like the top target for Jackson after a couple of years of inconsistency. He will look to keep that going in a soft matchup against the Lions on Sunday.

Brown (ankle) is listed as active for Sunday night's game against Kansas City.

After sitting out the first two practices of the week, Brown worked in a limited fashion Friday and will now give it a go Sunday night. Assuming no setbacks or limitations, the speedster should combine with Sammy Watkins to continue to lead Baltimore's wideout corps versus Kansas City. In this past Monday's season-opening loss to the Raiders, Brown logged 47 of a possible 68 snaps on offense, en route to catching all six of his targets for 69 yards and a TD.

Brown (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday night's game against Kansas City after returning to a limited practice Friday.

Brown sat out the first two practices of the week, but his return to the field Friday, albeit in a limited capacity, suggests that he could suit up for Sunday night's 8:20 p.m. ET kickoff. If he's limited or out for the contest, however, Ryan Mink of the Ravens' official site relays that Devin Duvernay (groin, questionable) -- if available -- and James Proche would be candidates for added snaps alongside Sammy Watkins.

Brown (ankle) participated at Friday's practice but appeared to have some limitations, Jonas Shaffer of The Baltimore Sun reports.

Brown went through agility drills with no issues but appeared to be moving at less than full speed in other portions of practice. Still, it's a good sign the 24-year-old is back at practice after being a non-participant the past two days, and he should have a chance of suiting up for Sunday's matchup with the Chiefs.

Brown (ankle) wasn't spotted at Thursday's practice, Jonas Shaffer of The Baltimore Sun reports.

Brown was listed as a non-participant in Wednesday's walk-through practice, so with another absence on tap Thursday what the wideout is able to do Friday will be pivotal with regard to his chances of suiting up Sunday against Kansas City. If Brown is limited or out this weekend, added snaps/targets would be available for Devin Duvernay, James Proche and Tylan Wallace.

Brown (ankle) was listed as a non-participant on Wednesday's practice report.

Per Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com, with the Ravens having played Monday night, the team held a walk-through practice Wednesday. What, if anything, Brown is able to do once the team re-takes the field Thursday should provide added clarity with regard to his status for Sunday's game against Kansas City. The wideout logged 47 of a possible 68 snaps on offense in Week 1, en route to recording a 6/69/1 stat line.

Brown caught all six of his targets for 69 yards and a touchdown in Monday night's 33-27 overtime loss to the Raiders. He also rushed once for five yards.

Brown's chemistry with quarterback Lamar Jackson was unlike that of some of his new teammates, whose timing appeared slightly off to start the season. In fact, Brown caught Jackson's lone touchdown toss -- a 10-yarder -- after finding room in the back of the end zone during a stellar scramble from the signal-caller. In catching all of the looks his way, Brown topped the team in receptions, but offseason addition Sammy Watkins led Baltimore in targets (eight) and receiving yards (96). Regardless, it was a good statistical performance for Brown to begin his third campaign, which will continue in Week 2 with a primetime showdown versus the Chiefs.

Brown (hamstring) will return to practice Monday.

Brown's return to the field for his first practice since July 28 is great news for a Baltimore wideout corps that has been taxed by injuries of late. Now that the 2019 first-rounder is back in the mix, he'll turn his focus to readying for Week 1 action and manning a starting spot opposite Sammy Watkins (who is still dealing with an undisclosed injury) in the team's passing offense.

Brown (hamstring) isn't practicing Thursday, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports.

Brown is now at the four-week mark since he last practiced, though he's been doing work on a side field since at least Aug. 7, including some running and conditioning work during Wednesday's practice, per Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com. The Ravens seemingly expect Brown to make it back for their MNF season opener in Las Vegas, whereas rookie first-round pick Rashod Bateman (core muscle) figures to miss at least one or two games at the beginning of the year. In addition to Brown and Bateman, the Ravens have been practicing without fellow wideouts Sammy Watkins (undisclosed) and Miles Boykin (hamstring).

Brown (hamstring) won't practice Monday, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.

The speedy wideout still hasn't rejoined his teammates at practice since exiting early July 29. He was said to be nearing a return last week, but he never made it back before Saturday's 20-3 preseason win over the Panthers. Brown does still have three full weeks to get ready for Baltimore's season opener on Monday Night Football, leading a WR group that won't have first-round pick Rashod Bateman (core muscle) for at least the first few games. For now, the team's injury group includes Bateman, Brown, Sammy Watkins (hamstring) and Miles Boykin (hamstring), a.k.a. four of the top-five wide receivers.

Brown (hamstring) didn't practice Monday, but he did look comfortable while running on the side, according to Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com.

The speedy wideout seems to be gearing up for a return to practice, whereas Rashod Bateman (core muscle) is expected to miss 6-8 weeks and Sammy Watkins left Monday's session early with a potential injury. The Ravens appeared to have better WR depth this year, but durability was already a concern with the group before the recent issues. Brown and TE Mark Andrews remain the favorites to lead the team in targets.

Brown (hamstring) won't play in Saturday's preseason game against New Orleans, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.

Fellow wideouts Miles Boykin (hamstring) and Rashod Bateman (groin) will also be out for Saturday's exhibition, with the latter in danger of missing Week 1 after his injury required surgery. Brown has been dealing with a hamstring injury since late July and still hasn't returned to practice.

Brown (hamstring) got in some conditioning work on a side field during Saturday's practice, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.

While that's a step in the right direction for the wideout, who's been sidelined for the last seven practices, the Ravens plan to proceed cautiously with Brown. "You don't want to come back and re-injure it, as we've seen before," coach John Harbaugh noted. With that in mind, Brown's status for next Saturday's preseason opener against the Saints is cloudy.

Coach John Harbaugh revealed Monday that Brown's hamstring injury is worse than the Ravens originally thought, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.

Brown now has missed three straight practice since exiting Thursday's session early. Fellow Ravens wideout Rashod Bateman reportedly is dealing with a minor muscular issue, while oft-injured veteran Sammy Watkins actually has managed to stay healthy so far. If Brown and Bateman continue to miss time, it could open up first-team reps for Devin Duvernay, Miles Boykin and Tylan Wallace, among others.

Brown left Thursday's practice early with what appeared to be a minor leg injury, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports.

Brown initially stayed on the field and stretched his leg with a trainer before eventually leaving practice. He's been catching passes from Trace McSorley and Tyler Huntley in practice, as Lamar Jackson was placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list Wednesday. It's been a less-than-ideal first week of training camp for the Ravens.

Brown likely will work out with QB Lamar Jackson this offseason, the Ravens' official website reports.

Jackson and Brown both are from South Florida, as is new Ravens wideout Sammy Watkins. The team upgraded its receiving corps this offseason with the additions of Watkins and first-round pick Rashod Bateman, but Brown should still be the top downfield option, even if he doesn't match his 100 targets from last season. The speedy 24-year-old could benefit from improved efficiency now that opposing defenses have more than one wide receiver to worry about.

Brown snared four of his seven targets for 87 yards during Saturday's 17-3 divisional-round loss to the Bills.

Brown was the only perimeter target who posed much of a threat to Buffalo, as the second-year man was the lone Ravens wideout to exceed 25 receiving yards on the night. Tyler Huntley nearly found Brown for an explosive fourth-down gain in the fourth quarter after the receiver slipped past Tre'Davious White in coverage. However, the ball sailed over Brown's outstretched hands, leaving him devoid of a reception following Lamar Jackson's (concussion) late third-quarter exit. Brown remained somewhat of a boom-bust fantasy asset in 2020, with seven performances of 75 -plus receiving yards but seven others of fewer than 40 yards. Eight receiving TDs buoyed Brown's value, bringing him to a total of 15 scores through his first two NFL seasons.

Brown caught seven of nine targets for 109 yards in Sunday's 20-13 wild-card win over the Titans. He also rushed twice for 19 yards.

Brown led the Ravens in all major receiving categories, bringing his usual element of speed to the team's passing game. In fact, his yardage total marked his highest of the campaign, as did his nine total touches. After finishing the regular season with six touchdowns in his last six games, Brown kept his momentum going without scoring Sunday. He figures to remain one of Baltimore's most important playmakers as the team now turns its focus to the AFC divisional round.

Brown recorded five receptions on eight targets for 41 yards and two touchdowns in Week 17 against the Bengals.

While it wasn't a massive stat line, Brown managed to deliver two touchdowns. That effort concluded a strong finish to the season for Brown, as found the end zone six times in as many games. While his campaign was tumultuous due to drops and inconsistent target volume, he still took a significant step forward from his rookie campaign, increasing his targets, receptions, yards and touchdowns. Brown will have the chance to take another step forward in his third season, but for now his focus will remain on a playoff matchup against the Titans.

Brown brought in all four of his targets for 25 yards and a touchdown in the Ravens' 27-13 win over the Giants on Sunday.

The speedster opened the scoring on the day with his six-yard scoring grab in the first quarter, his fourth touchdown in the last five games. After a difficult four-game stretch between Weeks 8 and 11 when he generated an anemic 6-55-1 line, Brown has rebounded to record 21 receptions for 297 yards and four scores in his last five games. He'll look to stay hot to close out the season in a Week 17 battle versus the Bengals.

Brown (knee) is active for Sunday's game against the Giants.

Brown missed practice Thursday due to the knee issue, but he returned to full activity Friday to take a questionable designation into the weekend. With Brown experiencing no setbacks heading into Sunday, he should be able to take on a normal snap load as the Ravens' No. 1 receiver. Brown has reached the end zone in three of his last four outings while racking up 17 receptions for 272 yards over that stretch.

Brown (knee) "is likely a go" for Sunday's game against the Giants, according to Tom Pelissero of NFL Network.

Official confirmation of the wideout's status will arrive before the first wave of Sunday kickoffs, with the Ravens taking on the Giants at 1:00 ET. In his team's 40-14 win over the Jaguars in Week 15, Brown led Baltimore's receiving corps with six receptions on seven targets for 98 yards.

Brown (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Giants after being listed as a full practice participant Friday, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports.

The speedy wideout popped up on the Ravens' Week 16 injury report Thursday after he sat out that day's practice, but his 'full" listing Friday suggests that of the 10 players deemed questionable by the team, Brown is among those most likely to be a go Sunday.

Brown (knee) missed practice Thursday, Jonas Shaffer of The Baltimore Sun reports.

Brown was added to the Ravens' Week 16 injury report Thursday, so his status for Sunday's game against the Giants will now need to be monitored. A return to practice, in any fashion, on Friday would bode well for his chance of suiting up this weekend, but if Brown ends up out or limited, Miles Boykin, Dez Bryant and perhaps Devin Duvernay would be in line for added looks Sunday.

Brown recorded six receptions on seven targets for 98 yards in Week 15 against the Jaguars.

Despite spending most of the week on the reserve/COVID-19 list, Brown managed his highest yardage total since Week 1. He did so primarily on the strength of explosive receptions of 44 and 28 yards. The only thing missing from the performance was a touchdown, though he had a target near the goal line and was also dragged down only four yards away from the end zone on a separate play. Brown will draw a Week 16 matchup against the Giants.

Brown has been activated from the reserve/COVID-19 list, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports.

The same applies to Miles Boykin and James Proche, which solidifies the Ravens' depth at wideout in advance of Sunday's game against the Jaguars. Per Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com, the trio were high-risk close contacts, but now that's he has passed through the necessary protocols, Brown should be able to handle his normal role in the offense Sunday.

Coach John Harbaugh noted Friday that "everything is on track" for Brown -- who's on the the reserve/COVID-19 list -- to be available for Sunday's game against the Jaguars, Jonas Shaffer of The Baltimore Sun reports.

The same applies to fellow wideouts Miles Boykin and James Proche, with the trio's Week 15 status hinging on them continuing to test negative for COVID-19 in advance of Sunday's contest. Brown caught two of his six targets for 50 yards and a 44-yard touchdown in Monday night's win over the Browns. The speedster continues to be a big-play threat when he's available and has now scored in three straight games.

Coach John Harbaugh relayed Wednesday that Brown, James Proche and Miles Boykin were identified as close contacts and haven't tested positive for COVID-19, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.

The report adds that while the trio of wideouts won't be able to practice this week, they could all be available for Sunday's game against the Jaguars if they continue to test negative in the coming days.

Brown (undisclosed) has been placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list.

The same applies to fellow wideouts Miles Boykin and James Proche, a context that taxes the Ravens' wideout depth for Sunday's game against the Jaguars. Brown's placement on the list means that he either tested positive for COVID-19 or has been in close contact with an infected person or persons.

Brown caught two of six targets for 50 yards and a touchdown in Monday night's 47-42 win over the Browns.

Brown was plagued by multiple drops over the course of Monday's contest, but came up big when it mattered most. Facing fourth-and-five while down a touchdown with under two minutes remaining, Brown ran deep for a dramatic 44-yard score to save his night and Baltimore's hopes of victory. In doing so, Brown also found the end zone for the third straight game, giving him considerable momentum ahead of a tasty matchup against the hapless Jaguars in Week 15.

Brown reeled in five of his eight targets for 39 receiving yards and a touchdown during Tuesday's 34-17 win against the Cowboys.

Brown capitalized on another ample workload, as Lamar Jackson made his return from the reserve/COVID-19 list. The second-year receiver broke out last week with four catches for 85 yards and a touchdown against the Steelers, after being held scoreless and posting fewer than 40 receiving yards for three consecutive outings Weeks 9 through 11. He now finds himself with eight targets in consecutive outings, as the Ravens head into a Week 14 Monday night matchup against the Browns' No. 23 pass defense.

Brown secured four of eight targets for 85 yards and a touchdown in the Ravens' 19-14 loss to the Steelers on Wednesday.

Brown ended up comfortably pacing the Ravens in receiving yardage, an accomplishment made possible by his 70-yard touchdown connection with third-string quarterback Trace McSorley in the fourth quarter. Brown showed off his elite speed on the play, one in which he gained 54 of the yards after the catch on his way to the end zone. The score was only Brown's third of the campaign and first since Week 8, which also came at the Steelers' expense. The second-year wideout will look to carry over the momentum into a Week 13 battle against the vulnerable Cowboys secondary Tuesday night.

Brown had no catches on three targets against the Titans.

Brown's tough second season reached a new low on Sunday as he was held without a catch for the first time in 2020. He drew just three targets on Lamar Jackson's 29 dropbacks while Mark Andrews, Willie Snead, and Dez Bryant all saw more looks. Brown has just two touchdowns all season and hasn't had more than 50 yards in four games since the bye. He'll face the tough Steelers secondary on Thanksgiving.

Brown caught just two of six targets for 14 yards in Sunday's 23-17 loss to New England.

Shutdown corner J.C. Jackson was all over Brown in this primetime matchup, smothering the wideout at the line of scrimmage and even keeping pace with the speedster and picking off a deep shot by Lamar Jackson. The 23-year-old has fallen into a three-game cold spell, tallying just 55 receiving yards over that span after racking up 376 yards over his previous six contests. The Ravens have faced three elite secondaries during Brown's slump, which may explain why the deep threat has been held in check. Things won't get any easier with the Titans and Steelers (who held Brown to three yards in their previous meeting) on tap for Weeks 11 and 12 respectively.

Brown caught three of five targets for 38 yards in Sunday's 24-10 win over the Colts.

Lamar Jackson only needed to attempt 23 passes on the afternoon, and while Brown did tie Mark Andrews for the team lead in targets, the modest volume didn't translate into much production. Brown has managed only an 8-98-1 line on 13 targets over the last three games combined, and he'll face another tough matchup in Week 10 against the Patriots, especially if Stephon Gilmore (knee) is able to return to action.

Brown caught one of two targets for a three-yard touchdown against the Steelers.

Brown's target volume plummeted to a season-low and his catch and yardage totals followed suit. He struggled to generate separation to garner targets and his two targets came in the same sequence, with the first target being caught but out of bounds in the back of the end zone. Brown was otherwise invisible on Baltimore's drives, and that's while playing a season-high 94 percent of the snaps. Baltimore's passing offense is struggling and Brown is among the players feeling the burn from those struggles. The Ravens take on Indianapolis on the road Sunday.

Brown caught four of six targets for 57 yards during Sunday's 30-28 win over the Eagles.

Brown's modest numbers in targets, catches and receiving yards led the team on a day the offense managed just 186 yards through the air. He totaled 163 yards on 10 combined receptions over the last two games, but this middling effort represented the third time he's been held under 60 receiving yards in six games this season. Brown, who is still on pace to top 1,000 yards for the season, will look to pick up the pace in Week 8 against the Steelers after the upcoming bye.

Brown caught four of six targets for 57 yards during Sunday's 30-28 win over the Eagles.

Brown caught six of his 10 targets for 77 receiving yards and a touchdown during Sunday's 27-3 win against Cincinnati.

After working through a knee issue during the practice week, Brown paced all Ravens in targets and receiving yards, picking up his first TD of 2020 against the Bengals. In addition to his scoring breakout, Brown has now exceeded 75 receiving yards in three different games this season. He had 75-plus receiving yards just three times across 14 appearances during 2019. Next, Brown will face an Eagles defense that surrendered 239 passing yards and three passing TD in its most recent outing against Pittsburgh.

Brown (knee) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Bengals.

Though Brown has yet to score a TD through four games, he's seen decent volume (26 targets) in that span, resulting in 16 catches for 242 yards. Assuming no in-game setbacks Sunday, the speedy wideout - who scored seven TD in 14 games last season - should remain a key cog in Baltimore's Week 5 passing attack.

Brown (knee) practiced in full Thursday.

Brown had his practice reps limited due to a knee issue Wednesday, but he's now resumed working at full capacity. The speedster looks fully on track for Sunday's matchup against an exploitable Bengals secondary. However, quarterback Lamar Jackson (knee) has now missed back-to-back sessions, though he's still expected to suit up versus Cincinnati.

Brown (knee) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.

This is the first we're hearing of a knee injury for the speedster, though you shouldn't panic yet, as it's possible this is just a routine day off. Brown showed no signs of injury in last week's win over Washington, hauling in four balls for 86 yards to bounce back from consecutive down weeks during which he combined for 55 yards on seven catches. The wide receiver's practice participation should be worth monitoring as his team prepares to host the Bengals on Sunday.

Brown tallied four receptions on eight targets for 86 yards in the team's Week 4 win over Washington.

Brown delivered a pair of receptions over 30 yards in the first half to account for the majority of his production in the game. He set up the Ravens' first score of the contest with a 33-yard catch, beating Washington's secondary down the field before being tackled at the one. Due to Baltimore's run-heavy approach on offense, Brown has failed to rack up large volume through four games. However, he's made the most of the chance he's received, as five of 12 receptions have gone for 20 yards or more. He'll have another positive matchup as the Ravens line up against Cincinnati in Week 5.

Brown caught two of six targets for 13 yards Monday against the Chiefs.

The Ravens could not get the passing game in gear Monday and Brown was no exception. He was shut down by the Kansas City secondary, registering catches of just six and seven yards after having at least one catch of at least 20-or-more yards in each of the first two weeks. Brown gets a chance to bounce back Sunday against Washington, though the Football Team has been tough on opposing receivers thus far this season.

Brown caught five of six targets for 42 yards Sunday against the Texans.

Baltimore went to the air just 24 times Sunday, including just seven times in the second half. Even with the lower volume, Brown led the team in targets, receptions, and yards Sunday. Brown has played 81 percent of the team's snaps, a significant uptick from the 60.4 percent he played as a rookie while working his way back from foot surgery. Not only is Brown playing a higher volume of snaps, he's also dominating the Baltimore passing game. He's seeing 113.0 air yards per game and has accounted for 47.3 percent of the Ravens' air yards. His aDOT is 18.8 yards, which is nearly the highest in the league. Brown and the Ravens will face the Chiefs in Week 3.

Brown caught five of his six targets for 101 receiving yards during Sunday's 38-6 win against Cleveland.

The second-year man out of Oklahoma was able to take advantage of a matchup against a depleted Browns secondary, kicking off his prolific afternoon with a 47-yard catch on Baltimore's third offensive drive of the day. Brown's impact would remain evident for the remainder of the first half, as he was able to rack up three more catches of 13-plus yards during the second quarter. He garnered just two targets during the second half, but that is of minimal concern to fantasy GMs, as the Ravens were able to pound the rock throughout the third and fourth quarters by virtue of a massive lead. Week 2 presents a matchup against a Texans defense that allowed three different Chiefs to collect five or more catches, 45-plus receiving yards, and a touchdown during its season opener Thursday night.

Brown says he's up to 180 pounds, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.

Brown played around 170 during his final season at Oklahoma and weighed 166 at last year's combine, but he apparently dropped all the way to 157 pounds by the end of his rookie campaign. Lisfranc surgery last January likely played a role, impacting his offseason routine and even his practice participation throughout the season. Brown seems to have made a quick recovery from follow-up surgery to remove a screw from his foot this past winter, as he was back to running routes at full speed during a May workout with Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson. The reigning MVP and coach John Harbaugh both have made it clear they expect big things from their No. 1 wideout in his second pro season.

Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson says Brown (foot) is 100 percent healthy, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.

It's usually up to the coaching staff to provide injury updates, but we don't have any reason to doubt the reigning MVP. Brown had a screw removed from his surgically repaired foot after Baltimore was eliminated from the playoffs, giving him plenty of time to recover before training camp. Back in May he was running routes and catching passes from Jackson, who anticipates a breakout season from his No. 1 receiver.

Brown (foot) has been running routes and catching passes in workouts with quarterback Lamar Jackson.

It's a strong indication that Brown emerged without any complications from winter surgery to remove a screw in his left foot. He initially had surgery to repair a Lisfranc injury last January, missing spring practices and the beginning of training camp. Jackson and coach John Harbaugh both mentioned that Brown was never at full strength during his rookie campaign, with the foot injury and an ankle sprain often limiting his participation in practice. The young wideout missed two games and was listed as questionable for seven others, but he scored seven touchdowns in 14 regular-season appearances and then added 126 yards in Baltimore's lone playoff game. Brown appears locked in as the team's No. 1 wideout for 2020.

Brown had offseason surgery to remove a screw from his foot, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

The screw was placed in Brown's foot when he had Lisfranc surgery last January. The follow-up procedure is less serious, as it could limit his involvement in the offseason program but should allow for full participation in training camp. The 2019 first-round pick finished his rookie campaign on a high note with seven catches for 126 yards in a playoff loss to Tennessee.

Coach John Harbaugh and quarterback Lamar Jackson both said Brown wasn't at full strength during his rookie season, ESPN.com's Jamison Hensley reports.

Brown had Lisfranc surgery last January and didn't begin practicing until the very end of July. His snap share trended up each week throughout September, but he then sprained his ankle on the other leg Week 5 at Pittsburgh. When all was said and done, Brown missed two games and played through a 'questionable' tag in seven others, reaching 75 percent snap share on just three occasions. One of those instances was the playoff loss to Tennessee, in which Brown caught seven of 11 targets for 126 yards. The Ravens figure to make his usage more consistent in 2020, though it's fair to wonder if Brown's slight frame might make durability a career-long concern.

Brown brought in seven of 11 targets for 126 yards in the Ravens' 28-12 divisional-round loss to the Titans on Saturday.

The rookie had a mostly disappointing finish to the regular season, as he'd managed no more than 45 receiving yards in any of his last five games while finding the end zone only once during that span. Brown helped make up for that multi-game lull with a spectacular showing Saturday, albeit in defeat. His reception, receiving yardage and target totals all paced the Ravens for the night, and he had one of the plays of the night with an impressive one-handed grab in Titans territory in the first half. Brown finished his first pro season with a solid 46-584-7 line over 14 contests, and he'll look to put together more consistent production as the likely top receiving option in the team's air attack in 2020.

Brown (illness), who is listed as questionable on the official injury report for Sunday's game against the Steelers, is not expected to play, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

With the Ravens having already secured the AFC's top seed, coach John Harbaugh has acknowledged he would hold out a handful of key players for rest purposes. As a result, this report saying Brown will sit out is no surprise.

Brown (ankle) is officially active for Sunday's game at Buffalo, Jonas Shaffer of The Baltimore Sun reports.

Brown received the questionable tag after being added to the injury report with the ankle issue Thursday, but his status for Week 14 never truly appeared to be in doubt. The 22-year-old was limited to one catch for one yard last week against the 49ers, but the Bills' secondary doesn't represent an easy matchup for a rebound performance.

Brown (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Bills but is expected to play, Jonas Shaffer of The Baltimore Sun reports.

The Ravens added Brown to their injury report Thursday after he was a limited participant in their practice session that day, though he concluded the week with a full showing Friday. That practice was described as a walk-through, per Daniel Oyefusi of The Baltimore Sun, which likely explains why Brown will carry a designation into the weekend. In any case, Brown is expected to be available to play his usual allotment of snaps Sunday, though fantasy managers will still want to confirm his availability when the Ravens release their inactive list 90 minutes prior to the 1 p.m. ET kickoff.

Brown (ankle) was limited at practice Thursday.

Brown was a Thursday addition to the Ravens' Week 14 injury report, so we'll we'll have to see if he suffered any setbacks in practice or was simply having his reps managed. As recently as Week 11, Brown was listed as dealing with an ankle injury, though it's not clear if his current issue is related to that.

Brown (ankle) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Texans.

Brown also headed in Week 10 action listed as questionable, but was able to suit up against the Bengals, catching all four of his targets for 80 yards and a TD on his 18 snaps on offense. Assuming no in-game setbacks Sunday, the speedy rookie will look to build off his most recent stat line, taking aim at a Houston defense that has allowed an average of 277.3 yards in the air (only the Raiders, Cardinals and Buccaneers are surrendering more) in addition to 18 TD passes through nine games.

Brown was held out of Thursday's practice, but was able to return Friday. Despite this report, fantasy owners will still want to confirm this status when inactives are released 90 minutes before Sunday's 1 p.m. ET kickoff.

Brown (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Texans after returning to a limited practice Friday.

Brown was held out of Thursday's practice, but his Week 11 outlook brightened when he was able to return to the field Friday. Those hoping to use the No. 25 overall pick in the 2019 NFL Draft in fantasy lineups this weekend will learn of his status before the first wave of kickoffs Sunday, with Baltimore hosting Houston at 1:00 ET.

Brown (ankle) too part in Friday's practice, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.

It won't be clear until after practice how much work Brown got in, but his participation alone is a positive on the heels of a missed practice Thursday. Brown's status for Week 11 will be revealed when the Ravens release their final injury report of the week.

Brown (ankle) didn't practice Thursday, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.

What Brown -- who logged a limited session Wednesday -- is able to do at Friday's practice will be telling with regard to his status for Sunday's game against the Texans, but for now it's unclear if the wideout's absence from Thursday practice was simply maintenance-related or indicative of a setback.

Brown (ankle) was limited at practice Wednesday.

Brown popped on on the Ravens' Week 10 injury report Friday, but was able to suit up Sunday against the Bengals, parlaying his 18 snaps on offense into four catches for 80 yards and a touchdown. At this stage there's nothing to suggest that the speedy wideout in any danger of missing Sunday's game against the Texans, but Brown could end up being limited at practice all week.

Brown (ankle/thigh) is officially active for Sunday's game versus the Bengals.

The rookie first-round pick will play through the questionable tag for the fourth time this season. Brown returned to action last week against the Patriots after a two-game absence but played only 57 percent of offensive snaps. The 22-year-old burst onto the scene with 12 catches for 233 yards and two touchdowns in his first two games, but in his last four contests he has only 12 catches for 141 yards and one touchdown. The matchup against the winless Bengals provides a prime opportunity for Brown to get back on track.

Brown (ankle/thigh) is expected to play Sunday against the Bengals, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

The speedy wideout's Week 10 status will be officially confirmed in advance of Sunday's 1:00 ET kickoff, but both he and Lamar Jackson (illness) -- who was also listed as questionable for the contest -- are in line to suit up this week. Brown's production has slowed some since two strong games out of the gate this season, as he's averaged three catches over his last four outings since then. That said, the rookie's wheels continually make him a threat to break off the occasional big play.

Brown (ankle/thigh) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game in Cincinnati, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports.

A Friday addition to the injury report might normally be concerning, but the Ravens have frequently limited Brown's end-of-week practice workload, and he's already played through a 'questionable' tag three times this season. Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com believes reserve wideout Chris Moore (thumb) is the only player on Baltimore's injury report in any real danger of missing Week 10. Even so, it wouldn't be bad idea to check back in Sunday morning when the Ravens release their inactive list for Sunday's 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff in Cincinnati.

Brown (ankle) caught three passes (four targets) for 48 yards in Sunday's 37-20 win over the Patriots.

Brown returned from an ankle injury following a three-week layoff. While the rookie didn't produce a strong fantasy line -- no one from the Ravens performed particularly well in the receiving game -- his 48 yards did lead all Baltimore options. Brown slid back into the the top wideout role, and the speedster will look to break off a big play against a porous Bengals defense on Sunday.

Brown (ankle) is listed as active for Sunday night's game against the Patriots.

Brown - who last suited up Oct. 6 - is available to those who rolled the dice that he'd play, despite the Ravens' late kickoff. The rookie wideout has the speed to be a big-play threat any time he's on the field, but Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com previously suggested that Brown could see his snaps limited in his return to action. With that possibility in mind, as well as the daunting matchup the ball-hawking New England defense presents, the No. 25 overall pick in the 2019 NFL Draft is a hit-or-miss fantasy lineup option in Week 9.

Brown (ankle/thigh) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Patriots.

Coach John Harbaugh expects Brown to play, but Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com cautions that the wide receiver may not handle his usual workload. Brown missed the final two games before Baltimore's Week 8 bye, returning to practice Wednesday and Thursday as a limited participant. The team then held him out from Friday's practice, with Harbaugh suggesting it was a matter of caution rather than any type of setback. Even so, an 8:20 p.m. ET kickoff is tricky for fantasy managers, limiting the alternatives if Brown is declared inactive.

Coach John Harbaugh expects Brown (ankle) to play in Sunday's game against the Patriots, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.

Brown was held out of practice Friday after participating in a limited capacity Wednesday and Thursday. The Ravens have been careful with his practice reps all season, initially due to his recovery from January foot surgery, and now to avoid any issues with an ankle sprain on the other leg. While Harbaugh is optimistic, Hensley believes Brown could have his workload restricted Sunday night. It remains to be seen how the Ravens list the rookie wide receiver on their final injury report.

Brown (ankle) was not spotted at Friday's practice, Daniel Oyefusi of The Baltimore Sun reports.

It's not yet clear if Brown was held out Friday because he suffered a setback or if the Ravens are just giving him Friday off like they did several times earlier in the season, but expect head coach John Harbaugh to shed some light on the situation after Friday's session comes to a close.

Brown (ankle) remained limited at practice Thursday.

Back-to-back limited practice sessions offer hope that Brown could return to action in Sunday night's 8:20 ET contest against the Patriots, though an official Week 9 "questionable" injury designation is a likely outcome for the speedy rookie wideout.

Brown (ankle) was listed as a limited practice participant Wednesday.

Brown, who didn't practice leading up to Week 7 action, benefited from the Ravens' subsequent bye and was able to return to a limited session Wednesday. The speedy young wideout is trending in the right direction as Sunday night's game against the Patriots approaches, but with Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com having previously noted that Brown "walked with a limp but...ran fine and showed a burst" Wednesday, a Week 9 return on the 2019 first-rounder's part can't yet be counted on.

Brown (ankle) practiced Wednesday, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.

Per the report, the wideout "walked with a limp but he ran fine and showed a burst" during Wednesday's session. We'll have to see if the Ravens list Brown as a limited or full participant, but he's trending in the right direction as Sunday night's game against the Patriots approaches.

Wide receivers coach David Culley said Tuesday that he expects Brown (knee) will be ready to play following the Ravens' Week 8 bye, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports. "When [Brown] comes back and comes back healthy, he'll be just where he was before," Culley said. "I don't see any slowdown in him at all."

The Ravens' open date comes at a convenient time after Brown's ankle issue kept him from practicing last week and resulted in him missing a second consecutive game. With another week to heal up, Brown should be ready to resume practicing in some fashion Week 9 and gain clearance prior to the Ravens' Nov. 3 matchup with the Patriots. Despite missing two contests, Brown trails only tight end Mark Andrews among all Ravens in receptions (21) and receiving yards (326) this season.

Brown (ankle) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Seahawks.

With Brown inactive after missing practice all week, Willie Snead, Miles Boykin, Seth Roberts and Chris Moore are slated to head the Ravens' Week 7 wideout corps.

Brown (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Seahawks after missing practice all week.

While the questionable designation leaves the door open to the possibility that the speedy wideout could play this weekend, a full slate of missed practices on his part does not bode well on that front. We'll look for added clarity on Brown's status as the Ravens' 4:25 ET kickoff approaches, but the fact that the team plays during the second wave of games Sunday limits the lineup substitution options of those inclined to wait things out on Brown in Week 7. If he remains out, Willie Snead, Miles Boykin, Seth Roberts and Chris Moore would head the team's wideout corps against Seattle.

Brown (ankle) isn't taking part in Friday's practice, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports.

Brown hasn't practiced in two weeks, which doesn't bode well for his chances of playing Sunday against the Seahawks. The rookie's official status for Sunday's contest will be revealed after Friday's practice comes to a close.

Brown (ankle) remained sidelined during Thursday's practice, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports.

Given that Brown hasn't taken the field since Oct. 6, he's looking pretty iffy for Sunday's game against the Seahawks at this stage. His outlook on that front could brighten some, however, if he practices in any capacity Friday. If he remains out this weekend, Willie Snead, Miles Boykin, Seth Roberts and Chris Moore would once again head the team's wideout corps in Week 7.

Brown (ankle) is not practicing Wednesday, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports.

Brown wasn't able to practice in any capacity last week, and he was ultimately inactive for last week's win over the Bengals. The rookie first-round pick is nursing an ankle injury suffered Week 5, and his availability for Sunday's tilt against the Seahawks figures to hinge on what he's able to do in practice Thursday and Friday.

Brown (ankle) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Bengals.

With Brown unavailable Sunday, Willie Snead, Miles Boykin and Seth Roberts are in line to head the Ravens' wide receiver corps in Week 6, while tight end Mark Andrews figures to once again serve as a key target for QB Lamar Jackson.

Brown (ankle), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Bengals, isn't expected to play, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Meanwhile, Adam Schefter of ESPN notes that the Ravens still aren't certain about Brown's availability, though it would probably be more surprising if ultimately suited up after he failed to practice in any fashion this week. An official call on Brown's status will come 90 minutes prior to the 1 p.m. EDT kickoff, when the Ravens release their inactive list. If Brown sits, the Ravens might be forced to rely more heavily on the likes of Willie Snead, Miles Boykin and Seth Roberts at receiver.

Brown (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Bengals, with his absence from practice throughout the week suggesting he isn't likely to play, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports.

Coach John Harbaugh admitted he was disappointed when Brown had to be held out of practice Friday for a third straight day. The Ravens aren't quite ready to rule out their top receiver, but Harbaugh acknowledged it will come down to a game-day decision before Sunday's 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff. In the event Brown is declared inactive, candidates to replace his snaps and targets would include wide receivers Miles Boykin, Willie Snead, Seth Roberts and Chris Moore, along with tight ends Mark Andrews (shoulder) and Hayden Hurst.

Brown (ankle) will be a game-time decision for Sunday against the Bengals, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports.

Coach John Harbaugh had been hoping Brown would return to practice Friday, but the wide receiver was absent for a third straight day. Brown presumably will be listed as questionable on the final injury report, setting up a game-day decision before Sunday's 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff. The Ravens haven't gotten much production from their other wide receivers, so any and all of Miles Boykin, Willie Snead, Seth Roberts and Chris Moore could see extra snaps and targets if Brown is inactive. The rookie played through an ankle sprain during the second half of last week's win over Pittsburgh, albeit with visible limitations in terms of agility and acceleration.

Brown (ankle) did not take part in Friday's practice, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.

Brown has not practiced all week, which does not bode well for his chances of playing in Sunday's game against the Bengals. Brown's status for Week 6 will be revealed when the Ravens' final injury report of the week is released following Friday's practice.

Brown (ankle) remained sidelined at Thursday's practice, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports.

Previous reports suggested that Brown's ankle issue is nothing serious, but now that he's logged back-to-back missed sessions, the speedy wideout's status for Sunday's game against the Bengals figures to hinge on what he's able to do at practice Friday.

Brown (ankle) isn't practicing Wednesday, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports.

That said, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com relayed Monday via coach John Harbaugh that Brown's ankle issue is "nothing serious." Based on that optimistic take, we'll chalk up the wideout's Wednesday absence to rep management, with an eye toward having him available for Sunday's game against the Bengals.

Coach John Harbaugh said the ankle injury Brown suffered Sunday was "nothing serious" and shouldn't impact him going forward, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.

Brown was considered questionable to return after suffering the injury and did retake the field during the second half, but it's nonetheless good news to hear there are no further issues. The rookie first-round pick still could end up limited when the Ravens return to practice Wednesday, but it shouldn't impact his availability for Week 6.

Brown, who exited Sunday's game against the Steelers with a right ankle injury, was later able to return to the contest.

Good news for the Ravens, who will look to overtake a Pittsburgh squad that is now being helmed by Devlin Hodges, in the wake of QB Mason Rudolph being forced out of the game with a concussion.

Brown exited Sunday's game against the Steelers with a right ankle injury, James Palmer of NFL Network reports.

Prior to being forced out Sunday's game, Brown had logged two catches on four targets for 19 yards and a TD.
