Keep up with the latest injuries from the Jaguars vs Cardinals game on Sunday with our National Football League injury report.Nov 4, 2025
First INT of season in win
Brown recorded five tackles (four solo) and one interception in the Jaguars' win over the Raiders on Sunday.
ANALYSIS
With Tyson Campbell traded to Cleveland and Travis Hunter (knee) injured, Brown has become more of an every-down cornerback for the Jaguars, logging at least 84 percent of the defensive snaps in each of the last three contests after playing a total of 52 defensive snaps across the first five weeks of the season. Brown has posted 16 tackles (14 solo) and four pass breakups, including the one interception, across six appearances.

All set for Week 3
Brown (ankle) was a full participant at practice Thursday, Demetrius Harvey of The Florida Times-Union reports.
ANALYSIS
Brown has logged a pair of full practices to open the week after missing the team's first two games of the 2025 season with an ankle injury. The 26-year-old could draw a start at cornerback against Houston on Sunday with Jarrian Jones (back) banged up ahead of Week 3.
Sep 14, 2025
Inactive Sunday, as expected
Brown (ankle) won't suit up for Sunday's Week 2 matchup versus Cincinnati.
ANALYSIS
Brown entered the weekend with a designation of doubtful, so it's no surprise that he's not going to play against the Bengals. The fourth-year defensive back did manage to log a trio of limited practices this week, so he could be ready to make his season debut next Sunday against Houston.

Doubtful to play at Cincinnati
Brown (ankle) is officially listed as doubtful for Sunday's game against the Bengals, Mia O'Brien of 1010 XL 92.5 FM Jacksonville reports.
ANALYSIS
Brown was limited at practice all week as he continues to tend to an ankle injury he suffered during training camp, and it appears unlikely he'll play in Week 2. If he truly can't go, Travis Hunter could see more work at cornerback Sunday than he might otherwise.

Logs limited practice Wednesday
Brown (ankle) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.
ANALYSIS
Brown missed all of training camp and the Jaguars' regular-season opener against the Panthers this past Sunday due to an ankle injury that he suffered in late July. However, his ability to practice in a limited capacity Wednesday is a sign that he is progressing in his recovery. Brown will have two more chances this week to log a full practice and avoid an injury tag heading into the Jaguars' Week 2 clash against the Bengals in Cincinnati on Sunday.

Won't play Sunday
Brown (ankle) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's contest against the Panthers, Demetrius Harvey of The Florida Times-Union reports.
ANALYSIS
Brown's absence Sunday comes as no surprise after he didn't practice all week due to an ankle issue. The 26-year-old served as one of Jacksonville's top outside cornerbacks in 2024, recording 75 total tackle and eight passes defended, including one interception, over 17 games. While Brown is sidelined, 2025 second-overall pick Travis Hunter is expected to see increased reps in the Jaguars' secondary.

Out remainder of camp
Brown (leg) will miss the rest of training camp, Mia O'Brien of 1010 XL 92.5 FM Jacksonville reports.
ANALYSIS
Brown suffered a lower-leg injury and is not expected to be back during training camp, head coach Liam Cohen announced Monday. The 25-year-old had the most productive season of his career in 2024, appearing in all 17 games while starting 10 and recording his first career interception. It is still unclear whether this injury will run into the start of the regular season, but it is sure to impact his playing time as he was competing for a starting role.

Puts forth career year
Brown recorded 75 tackles (55 solo) across 17 regular-season appearances with the Jaguars in 2024. He also had eight passes defensed and one interception.
ANALYSIS
Brown more than doubled his production totals from 2023, and he played 90-plus percent of defensive snaps in seven of the 17 contests he appeared in. The 2022 seventh-round pick will work to take another step forward heading into the final year of his rookie deal with Jacksonville,

Nice outing in win
Brown recorded seven tackles (five solo) and a pass defensed during Sunday's 20-13 win versus the Titans.
ANALYSIS
Brown got another start in Week 17 over Ronald Darby, and he tallied his eighth pass breakup of the season on a third-quarter throw intended for Calvin Ridley. He projects to remain in a near-every down role in Week 18 when the Jaguars trek to Indianapolis.
Oct 1, 2024
Effective in Week 4 loss
Brown tallied eight tackles (five solo) and defensed three passes in a loss to Houston on Sunday.
ANALYSIS
One of Brown's tackles resulted in a two-yard loss, and he broke up three passes -- one shy of the amount he recorded over 12 contests last season. The Arkansas product has been very productive as a tackler over the past three weeks, recording 26 stops during that span, including a career-high 11 tackles Week 2 versus Cleveland. Brown has played every defensive snap for the Jaguars over the past two weeks and has built up IDP appeal with his recent performances.
Sep 24, 2024
Logs seven tackles vs. Buffalo
Brown tallied seven tackles (four solo) in Monday's 47-10 loss to the Bills.
ANALYSIS
Brown was the Jaguars' co-leader in tackling Monday with Chad Muma. Brown has played at least 60 defensive snaps for two straight games, and he was on the field for all 60 of the Jaguars' snaps on defense in Monday's loss. The 2022 seventh-round pick had 34 tackles (25 solo) across 12 regular-season games last season, and through just three games this year he's already accrued 21 tackles (17 solo).
Sep 16, 2024
Jags' leading tackler in loss
Brown recorded 11 tackles (11 solo) during Sunday's 18-13 loss versus the Browns.
ANALYSIS
Brown led Jacksonville's corners in snaps in Week 2, and he reached the double-digit mark in tackles in a game for the first time in his career. He might not get so many opportunities in Week 3 at Buffalo though, so he's still not on the IDP radar in most formats.
Dec 12, 2023
Tallies career-high seven tackles
Brown recorded seven solo tackles and one pass breakup during Sunday's 31-27 loss to Cleveland.
ANALYSIS
Brown has played 90-plus percent of defensive snaps in each of his last five appearances, and Sunday's seven-tackle performance was the most productive of his young career. If Tyson Campbell (quadriceps) is able to get back on the field Week 15 versus Baltimore, however, Brown will stand to revert back to a depth role on defense.

Nabbed by Jags in seventh round
The Jaguars selected Brown in the seventh round of the 2022 NFL Draft, 222nd overall.
ANALYSIS
Brown was the first pick of the seventh round. An Arkansas product, Brown checks in at 6-foot with 4.55 speed. He was productive in the Razorbacks secondary with 11 pass breakups and five picks as a fifth-year senior. Brown lacks standout tools but he's experienced and battle-tested from his days in the SEC and has a chance to make the roster.
