Aug 27, 2025
Lands on Texans' practice squad
Brown joined the Texans' practice squad Wednesday, Jonathan Alexander of the Houston Chronicle reports.
ANALYSIS
Brown was sidelined by an undisclosed injury to begin training camp and was released by the Texans on Tuesday. He'll serve as depth for the time being, but will likely be elevated at some point during the regular season.
Jul 23, 2025
Sidelined for start of camp
Brown (undisclosed) was placed on the active/PUP list by Houston on Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
Brown signed with the Texans in March to potentially take over as the team's starting right tackle, but he will be forced to open training camp on the sidelines with an undisclosed injury. The good news is that the 32-year-old is eligible to return to practice and play at any point in the preseason.
Mar 21, 2025
Heading to Houston
Brown agreed to terms Friday on a one-year contract with the Texans, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
Brown figures to join Houston's revamped offensive line as the team's new starting right tackle, providing a veteran option while 2024 second-round pick Blake Fisher continues to develop. His time with the Bengals last season was cut short due to a torn patellar tendon sustained Week 3.
Sep 28, 2024
Officially placed on IR
The Bengals placed Brown (knee) on injured reserve Saturday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
Brown tore his patellar tendon during the Bengals' Week 3 loss to the Commanders, an injury that requires season-ending surgery. The 2015 seventh-round pick will shift his focus to rehab and recovery as he looks to be fully healthy for the 2025 season. Amarius Mims will serve as the Bengals' starting right tackle moving forward.
Sep 24, 2024
Needs season-ending surgery
Brown will require season-ending surgery to repair a torn patellar tendon suffered in Monday's 38-33 loss to the Commanders, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Brown is expected to make a full recovery from surgery and return to action for the start of the 2025 campaign. With Brown headed for injured reserve, the Bengals to turn to their first-round selection in the 2024 NFL Draft, Amarius Mims, at right tackle. Brown signed with the Bengals in the spring on a one-year contract to serve as a predecessor to Mims, but the veteran may be in search of a new home in 2025 once he's fully healthy.
Sep 23, 2024
Carted off Monday
Brown suffered an apparent knee injury during Monday's game against the Commanders and had to be carted off, Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post reports.
ANALYSIS
The starting right tackle was grabbing his right knee, per Jhabvala. The injury gives the Bengals' first-round pick, Amarius Mims, a chance to come in and play a significant role for the first time in his NFL career.
Aug 15, 2024
Returning to practice
Brown (undisclosed) practiced Monday for the first time. He will likely be the starting right tackle with rookie first-rounder Amarius Mims (pectoral muscle) will be out several weeks, Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Mims' absence gives the Bengals very little proven tackle depth in the event of another injury, though Brown seems unconcerned about his late start. "This is Year 10 for me," Brown said. "I've got a lot of reps under my belt already. I think I kind of know how the game is played and how it needs to be played."
Aug 4, 2024
Comes off NFI list
Brown passed a physical Sunday and has been cleared to practice.
ANALYSIS
Brown was placed on the active/non-football injury list July 23 due to an undisclosed issue, but he's since returned to full health. The veteran lineman is slated to compete for a role as the Bengals' starting right tackle in the 2024 campaign.
Jul 23, 2024
Lands on NFI list
The Bengals placed Brown (undisclosed) on the active/non-football Injury list Tuesday.
ANALYSIS
Brown can be activated at any point throughout training camp once he is over his unspecified injury. After spending the last three seasons with the Patriots, Brown signed a one-year, $4.75 million contract with the Bengals in March of 2024, and he's slated to start at right tackle.
Jun 11, 2024
Practicing at minicamp
Brown (illness) participated in the initial practice of Cincinnati's mandatory minicamp Tuesday, Ben Baby of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Brown first worked at right tackle Tuesday, then handled some reps at right guard while Amarius Mims replaced him at the tackle stop. A 31-year-old veteran, Brown could be the favorite to start at right tackle over Mims, a rookie first-round pick, but the Bengals' offensive line could be at its best with both players finding a way to get reps.
Mar 19, 2024
Headed to Cincinnati
Brown is set to sign a one-year deal with the Bengals, Andrew Callahan of the Boston Herald reports.
ANALYSIS
By adding the 30-year-old -- who started at left tackle for the Patriots last season -- the Bengals have filled the void created by the free agent departure of Jonah Williams. Brown, who is listed at 6-foot-8, 370 pounds, gives his new team a versatile lineman who can work as a bookend tackle opposite 6-foot-8, 345-pounder Orlando Brown.
Feb 20, 2024
Does not reach extension
Brown's contract voided Monday after failing to reach an extension with the Patriots, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
The Patriots will carry a $2 million dead cap into 2024 from Brown's previous contract as a result. The 30-year-old has spent his previous three seasons in New England. He played in 11 games in 2023 and started eight.
Jan 6, 2024
Missing season finale
Brown (illness) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Jets, Zack Cox of NESN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
The 30-year-old offensive lineman was unable to practice all week due to an illness, so it's no surprise that he'll be inactive Sunday. Vederian Lowe is expected to get the nod at left tackle in Brown's stead.
Dec 24, 2023
Set to return for Week 16
Brown (hand) is active for Sunday's game against the Broncos.
ANALYSIS
Brown was held out of the Patriots' Week 15 loss to the Chiefs but will play Sunday after logging limited practice sessions all week. He'll slate back into his starting spot at left tackle.
Dec 17, 2023
Inactive Sunday
Brown (hand) will not play in Sunday's matchup with the Chiefs.
ANALYSIS
Brown's absence means Conor McDermott is the most likely candidate to replace him at left tackle to protect Bailey Zappe's blind side. However, the Pats could also opt to slide Mike Onwenu to that side of the line. Brown's next chance to suit up will come in one week versus the Broncos.
Nov 26, 2023
Will suit up
Brown (ankle) is active Sunday against the Giants.
ANALYSIS
Brown will be back on the field after a two-game absence and logging limited practice sessions throughout the week. His return should be good news for the Patriots offensive line as the Florida product returns as the team's starting left tackle.
Nov 24, 2023
Questionable for Sunday
Brown (ankle) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's game against the Giants.
ANALYSIS
Brown was able to log limited practice sessions throughout the week after missing the Patriots' last two games with an ankle issue. If Brown were to miss his third consecutive game Sunday, Vederian Lowe would likely start at left tackle.
Nov 9, 2023
Ruled out for Week 10
Brown (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's matchup with the Colts, Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Brown will be forced to miss a second game in a row while nursing an ankle injury. In his place, Vederian Lowe will likely draw the start at left tackle.
Nov 5, 2023
Won't play Sunday
Brown (ankle) is inactive ahead of Sunday's game against the Commanders.
ANALYSIS
Brown was able to log a limited practice session Friday after recording DNPs on both Wednesday and Thursday, but the veteran tackle won't be able to play through his ankle issue this Sunday. Vederian Lowe or Conor McDermott is expected to start at left tackle in Brown's stead.
Sep 23, 2023
Clears concussion protocol
Brown (concussion) has cleared the league's protocols and will play in Sunday's game versus the Jets, Mark Daniels of The Providence Journal reports.
ANALYSIS
Brown will return from a one-game absence due to the concussion he sustained in Week 1. Barring any setbacks, he should take on his usual role protecting Mac Jones' blind-side at left tackle.
Sep 20, 2023
Limited practice Wednesday
Brown (concussion) was a limited participant at the Patriots' practice Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
Brown missed Sunday's 24-17 loss to the Dolphins with a concussion he suffered in Week 1, but he has now taken a step in the right direction to be able to play in Week 3 versus the Jets. The offensive lineman will have two more practices to clear concussion protocol prior to the contest.
Sep 19, 2023
Gets bump in pay
Brown signed a new contract with New England on Tuesday worth $2 million more in incentives for 2023, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
The left tackle can now earn up to $13 million this season, per Schefter. Brown started the Patriots' Week 1 loss to the Eagles but suffered a concussion that forced him to miss Week 2. The ninth-year pro is questionable for the 0-2 Pats as they look ahead to a Week 3 matchup with the Jets.
Sep 17, 2023
Out with concussion
Brown (concussion) has been ruled out for Sunday night's matchup with the Dolphins.
ANALYSIS
Brown will miss Week 2 after he suffered a concussion against the Eagles in Week 1. Calvin Anderson will draw the start at left tackle versus Miami.
Sep 15, 2023
Questionable Sunday
Brown (concussion) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's game against Miami.
ANALYSIS
The 6-foot-8 tackle suffered a concussion during New England's Week 1 loss to Philadelphia and he's now the fourth Patriots' offensive lineman to be listed as questionable heading into Sunday. Brown didn't participate in practice at all this week and if he's unable to play, Calvin Anderson is expected to fill the void at left tackle.
Aug 14, 2023
Healthy again
Brown (undisclosed) participated in Monday's practice, Andrew Callahan of the Boston Herald reports.
ANALYSIS
Brown was limited earlier in camp due to an undisclosed injury, so it is a good sign that he is participating in team drills. The 30-year-old is expected to protect Mac Jones' blindside for the third-straight season.
Aug 7, 2023
Hampered by injury
Brown has been limited in camp by an undisclosed injury, Andrew Callahan of the Boston Herald reports.
ANALYSIS
Brown's injury is believed to be minor, although the team is taking a cautious approach with their starting left tackle. Details of the injury and when he may be able to participate in full remain unknown. However, he still has several weeks to get ready for the season opener against the Eagles.
Dec 1, 2022
Active Thursday
Brown (illness) is available for Thursday's game against the Bills.
ANALYSIS
Brown was forced to come off the bench in the Patriots' Week 11 matchup against Jets due to the same illness. The left tackle managed to play in Week 12 and he'll once again suit up. Expect the Patriots to rely on Conor McDermott or Yodny Cajuste (calf) if Brown is forced to sit.
Dec 1, 2022
Gets questionable tag for Thursday
The Patriots added Brown to their injury report for Thursday's game against the Bills, with the offensive tackle now being listed as questionable for the contest with an illness.
ANALYSIS
Brown will presumably spend most of the day resting up from the illness with the hope of showing enough improvement to play later Thursday. An official call on Brown's status will be made when New England releases its inactive list 90 minutes prior to the 8:15 p.m. ET kickoff. If Brown isn't available, the Patriots would likely turn to Yodny Cajuste (calf) or Conor McDermott to start at left tackle.
Nov 21, 2022
Not on Monday's injury report
Brown (illness) is not listed on the Patriots' estimated injury report for Monday.
ANALYSIS
Brown dealt with an illness Sunday that caused him to come off the bench rather than function in his usual starting role. However, he appears to be feeling better since he's not on New England's initial injury report, which is a projection since the team didn't actually practice. The Patriots have a short turnaround this week with a Thanksgiving game against Minnesota, but it looks like Brown should be able to return as a starter for the contest.
Nov 20, 2022
Dealing with illness
Brown didn't start Sunday's game against the Jets due to an illness, Mark Daniels of The Springfield Republican reports.
ANALYSIS
Brown played off the bench during Sunday's matchup, but he was unable to start due to his illness. It's not yet clear whether the issue will impact him for Thursday's game against the Vikings.
Mar 21, 2022
Stays with Patriots
Brown has agreed to a two-year deal to remain with the Patriots, ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
With the Patriots having recently traded starting right guard Shaq Mason to the Buccaneers, re-signing Brown will bring some valuable continuity to the right side of the team's offensive line. Now that he's back in the fold, the 6-foot-8, 380-pounder -- who turns 29 in April -- will once again hold down the team's top right tackle slot.
Nov 13, 2021
Activated from IR
Brown (calf) was activated from injured reserve Saturday, per the NFL's official transaction log.
ANALYSIS
Brown returned to practice Wednesday and will be available for Sunday's game against Cleveland. The 2015 seventh-rounder will likely reclaim his role as the starting right tackle now that he's healthy.
Nov 10, 2021
Returns to practice Wednesday
Brown (calf) was designated to return from injured reserve Wednesday, Mike Dussault reports.
ANALYSIS
Brown managed to return to practice Wednesday after landing on the Patriots' IR early in October. The Patriots now have a three-week window to activate Brown to their active roster or else he'll stay on the injured reserve list for the remainder of the year. Expect Justin Herron to revert back to his reserve role once Brown is able to return to the field.
Oct 9, 2021
Goes on IR
The Patriots placed Brown (calf) on injured reserve Saturday.
ANALYSIS
Brown had already missed the Patriots' last three games with the nagging right calf strain, and the move to IR ensures that he'll be sidelined for at least three more. Justin Herron has been serving as the primary replacement for Brown at right tackle, but Herron may be tasked with protecting quarterback Mac Jones' blind side Sunday, as starting left tackle Isaiah Wynn (reserve/COVID-19 list) has been ruled out for the contest.
Oct 9, 2021
Still sidelined Sunday
Brown (calf) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Texans.
ANALYSIS
Brown didn't practice this week and will be out for a fourth consecutive game. Justin Herron should start once again against Houston.
Oct 3, 2021
Set to miss Sunday night
Brown (calf) is listed as inactive for Sunday night's game against the Buccaneers.
ANALYSIS
Brown's absence will extend to a third-straight game. Justin Herron will continue to hold down the fort at right tackle.
Sep 26, 2021
Not featuring Sunday
Brown (calf) is not playing Sunday against the Saints.
ANALYSIS
Brown managed to play only one quarter in the team's opening game of the season, and he's set to miss his second straight game. While there's no clear timetable for his return, his next chance to feature will come next Sunday against the Buccaneers.
Sep 18, 2021
Ruled out for Week 2
Brown (calf) has been ruled out for the Patriots' Week 2 matchup against the Jets on Sunday.
ANALYSIS
Brown managed to play only one quarter in the team's opening game of the season. He did progress from not practicing at the beginning of the week to a limited practice Friday, meaning there could be some optimism for Brown's potential to return in Week 3 against New Orleans.
Sep 18, 2021
Officially questionable
The Patriots have listed Brown (calf) as questionable for Sunday's game against the Jets, Zack Cox of NESN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Brown has been day-to-day since injuring his calf in the Patriots' season opening loss to Miami. It looks like the veteran qualifies as a true game-time decision in Week 2.
Sep 14, 2021
Considered day-to-day
Brown is considered day-to-day after injuring his calf during Sunday's season opener, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
Brown suffered the injury during the first quarter of the season opener and never returned. Justin Herron and Yasir Durant both saw time at right tackle during the rest of the game and it remains to be seen who would draw the start if Brown is unable to go in Week 2.
Sep 12, 2021
Questionable to return
Brown (calf) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Dolphins.
ANALYSIS
Brown suffered the injury during the first quarter of the season opener and it remains to be seen whether he'd be ready to return to the gridiron. If that's not the case, then Justin Herron would operate as his likely replacement at right tackle.
Jul 28, 2021
Activated off PUP list
Brown (undisclosed) was on the field for Wednesday's practice, Ryan Hannable of WEEI.com reports.
ANALYSIS
The 28-year-old tackle was placed on the physically unable to perform list earlier this week, but was practicing with the Patriots on Wednesday indicating that he is now off the list. Brown, who is returning to Foxborough this season, will look to lock in a starting role this fall.
Jul 27, 2021
Sidelined to start camp
Brown (undisclosed) was placed on the PUP list Tuesday, Field Yates of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
Brown was unable to pass a physical after reporting to camp and will now be sidelined to begin training camp. He can activated at any time. Brown is projected to start at right tackle after being acquired by the Patriots in March.
Mar 9, 2021
Dealt to New England
The Raiders are trading Brown (knee) to the Patriots, ESPN's Mike Reiss reports.
ANALYSIS
Brown had two years remaining on a four-year, $66 million contract, but he's agreed to restructure to a one-year deal worth up to $11 million, perhaps knowing he'd be released if the Raiders weren't able to trade him. This is the second time New England has traded for Brown, having previously acquired him from the 49ers in April 2018. He then had arguably the best season of his career, which led him to Oakland (and then Vegas) on the aforementioned massive contract. Brown missed 16 games in his two years with the Raiders, but he earned respectable PFF grades both seasons (68.9, 69.1) and he's still young enough (28 in April) to rediscover his top form if he stays healthy. There hasn't been any indication that Brown's knee injury from the end of the 2020 season is serious, so he'll likely be lined up at one of the tackles spots when the first-team offense takes the field at training camp.
Mar 8, 2021
Could be traded
The Raiders have made Brown (knee) available for trade, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Brown is on the trade block, though Fowler also notes that the Raiders could consider retaining him for 2021. Were it not for the soon-to-be 28-year-old's $13.75 million salary for next season, Las Vegas likely wouldn't even be considering parting ways with Brown. As is, though, the team is in a tricky position -- especially considering that two starters along the O-line, Gabe Jackson and Richie Incognito, are already being let go.
Jan 2, 2021
Unable to play Broncos
Browns (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Broncos, Paul Gutierrez of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Brown didn't practice all week and will sit out the season finale. The Raiders have been eliminated from the playoffs, so Brown's season is over. The 27-year-old offensive tackle has two years remaining on his contract.
Dec 2, 2020
Back from COVID-19 list
The Raiders activated Brown (illness) from the reserve/COVID-19 list Wednesday, Paul Gutierrez of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Brown tested positive for the virus in October and endured complications during his recovery, including a stay in the hospital after a pregame IV resulted in air entering his bloodstream. The 27-year-old looks poised to return to the lineup this Sunday against the Jets, and he should reclaim the starting right tackle role if the practice week goes as planned.
Nov 24, 2020
Likely a few weeks away
Brown (illness) isn't expected to see game action for two or three weeks, Vic Tafur of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
The 27-year-old can resuming working out sometime this week, but he'll apparently need a couple weeks to ramp up before reaching game readiness. Brown has been limited to two games this season for the Raiders.
Nov 19, 2020
Could resume working out next week
Brown (illness) may be cleared to resume working out as early as next week, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
Brown has been sidelined since he was first placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list Oct. 21, though he was briefly activated at one point before being placed on the reserve list again. An official timetable for the standout right tackle's return remains undisclosed, but Schefter notes that he intends to play again this season, and gaining clearance to resume working out would be the first step toward that goal.
Nov 8, 2020
Could be out until December
Brown (illness) is expected to remain sidelined for at least a month after he was placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list Thursday for the second time this season, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Brown was first placed on the list Oct. 21, but he asymptomatic and activated from the list ahead of last week's game in Cleveland. However, Brown ended up sitting out that contest after a mishap with an IV he received prior to the game resulted in him being hospitalized. Since the ill-fated IV, Brown has experienced renewed COVID-19 complications, resulting in his return to the list. Sam Young is expected to step in as the Raiders' starting right tackle for as long as Brown is sidelined.
Nov 5, 2020
Placed back on COVID-19 list
The Raiders placed Brown (illness) on the reserve/COVID-19 list Thursday, Vic Tafur of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Brown was activated from the COVID-19 list last Friday and he attempted to play Week 8, but a pre-game IV caused him to be hospitalized after air entered his bloodstream. The starting right tackle now appears to have developed complications related to COVID-19, making uncertain when he'll ultimately retake the field.
Nov 3, 2020
Discharged from hospital
Brown (illness) was released from the hospital Tuesday and will head back to Las Vegas, Vincent Bonsignore of the Las Vegas Review-Journal reports.
ANALYSIS
Brown went to the hospital Sunday after a pregame IV resulted in air entering his bloodstream. The 27-year-old was evaluated over the last two games, and he's recovered enough to board a plane and fly back to Nevada. It's unclear how this will affect him moving forward, but we should know more when the Raiders start practicing again Wednesday.
Nov 2, 2020
Remains in Cleveland
Brown (illness) stayed in the hospital overnight and continues to be tested after the medical mishap prior to Sunday's game, Vic Tafur of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
The 27-year-old was transported to the hospital after a mistake with his pre-game IV resulted in air entering his bloodstream, and he continues to be evaluated. Brown was activated from the COVID-19 list Friday but the unfortunate incident Sunday prevented him from retaking the field. It's unclear when he'll be able to rejoin the team.
Nov 1, 2020
Hospitalized pre-game
Brown (illness) was hospitalized prior to Sunday's 16-6 win over the Browns due to a pre-game medical mishap, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
ANALYSIS
An incident with Brown's pre-game IV resulted in air entering his bloodstream and required immediate medical attention. The starting right tackle, who was activated from the reserve/COVID-19 list Friday, will now remain hospitalized overnight to undergo additional evaluation. It remains to be seen whether Brown will be available against the Chargers in Week 9.
Nov 1, 2020
Won't play Sunday
Brown (illness) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Browns, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Brown was activated from the COVID-19 list Friday and remains clear of any COVID-related symptoms, but he's apparently still feeling under the whether. Sam Young should remain the starter at right tackle for the Raiders.
Oct 30, 2020
Activated from COVID list
The Raiders activated Brown (illness) from the reserve/COVID-19 list Friday, Jerry McDonald of The Mercury News reports.
ANALYSIS
Coach Jon Gruden hinted that this was a possibility earlier in the week, and now the team has made it official. There's still no guarantee that the 27-year-old offensive tackle will be ready for Sunday's game against the Browns, and Gruden relayed Friday that his status likely will depend on his conditioning. Sam Young will start at right tackle if Brown can't go.
Oct 26, 2020
Could return Week 8
Coach Jon Gruden said Monday that Brown, who is on the reserve/COVID-19 list, has a chance to return for Sunday's game versus the Browns, Bill Williamson of RaidersSnakepit.com reports.
ANALYSIS
This is encouraging news for the Raiders, as interim right tackle Sam Young exited this past Sunday's loss to the Buccaneers with a knee injury as well. Brown would be a major boost to a Raiders' offensive line that just got bullied by the Buccaneers' front seven, but he'll still need to clear the league's COVID-19 protocol before returning to action.
Oct 22, 2020
Asymptomatic for COVID
Brown (reserve/COVID-19 list) is asymptomatic following his positive COVID-19 test, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
ANALYSIS
This is a positive development regarding Brown's status for Sunday's matchup against Tampa Bay, though affected members of the Raiders remain isolated as the league sorts through contact tracing. The 2019 Pro Bowler has already missed three contests this season because of a calf injury, though he'll have a chance to suit up Sunday so long as he can clear the NFL's COVID-19 protocols. His services are sorely needed, as Las Vegas takes on a Buccaneers defense Week 7 that is tied for second in the NFL with 3.7 sacks per game.
Oct 21, 2020
Placed on COVID-19 list
Brown is being placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list Wednesday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Brown has had minimal contact with his teammates as the Raiders are coming off a bye and players weren't at the facility Tuesday. The team's facility remains open at this time, and Sam Young is primed to slot into the starting right tackle role if Brown isn't cleared ahead of Sunday's game against Tampa Bay.
Oct 11, 2020
Active against Chiefs
Brown (calf) is active Week 5 against the Chiefs.
ANALYSIS
Brown logged a full week of practice -- even though a few sessions were limited -- but will be healthy enough to give it a go in Kansas City. He'll presumably slot right back into his starting right tackle role.
Oct 9, 2020
Listed as questionable
Brown (calf) is officially questionable for Sunday's matchup with the Chiefs, Vic Tafur of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Brown logged a full workload to close out the week, so he appears to be trending in the right direction. Look for Sam Young to get another start at right tackle if he is ultimately unable to go, but final confirmation on his status will depend on how he is feeling closer to kickoff.
Oct 4, 2020
Out Week 4
Brown (calf) is inactive for Sunday's game against Buffalo.
ANALYSIS
Brown didn't practice all week and was listed as doubtful, so he was never expected to suit up Sunday. Sam Young is set to receive another start at right tackle in his place.
Oct 2, 2020
Unlikely to play Sunday
Brown (calf) is considered doubtful for Sunday's game versus the Bills, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
After not practicing all week, it's not surprising that Brown likely won't play Sunday. Sam Young is expected to start at right tackle once again.
Sep 25, 2020
Out against Patriots
Brown (calf) has been ruled out for Sunday's game versus the Patriots.
ANALYSIS
Brown will miss a second straight game. It appears Sam Young (groin) is trending in the right direction and could start in Brown's place.
Sep 21, 2020
Inactive for MNF
Brown (calf) is inactive for Monday's game versus the Saints.
ANALYSIS
Both Brown and Sam Young (groin) will sit out Monday, so either Denzelle Good or Brandon Parker will start at right tackle against the Saints.
Sep 19, 2020
Likely won't play Monday
Brown (calf) is considered doubtful for Monday's game versus the Saints, Paul Gutierrez of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Although the Raiders were optimistic following an MRI, Brown will likely watch from the sidelines during Las Vegas' inagural game after not practicing all week. With backup Sam Young (groin) also considered doubtful, the Raiders will likely start either Brandon Parker or Denzelle Good at right tackle.
Sep 15, 2020
Hopeful to play Sunday
Brown (calf) underwent an MRI and is not believed to have suffered a serious injury, leaving him hopeful to play Sunday against the Saints, Vic Tafur of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Brown aggravated a calf injury during pregame warmups of Sunday's game, which eventually forced him to the sideline for the duration of the game. Should the veteran be forced to miss more time, look for Sam Young to fill in at right tackle, but more will be known once the team takes the field for practice this week.
Sep 13, 2020
Done for day
Brown (calf) won't return to Sunday's game against Carolina.
ANALYSIS
Brown aggravated his calf injury that he came into the game with despite logging full practice Thursday. Now that Brown is done for the day, Sam Young took over at right tackle.
Sep 13, 2020
Questionable to return
Brown is questionable to return to the team's Week 1 game after aggravating his calf injury, Vincent Bonsignore of the Las Vegas Review-Journal reports.
ANALYSIS
Brown was battling the injury throughout the week leading up to the team's Week 1 contest against the Panthers. It appeared he had returned to health after logging a full practice Thursday, but it's unclear whether he will be able to return Sunday.
Sep 10, 2020
Practicing in full
Brown (calf) was a full participant in Thursday's practice.
ANALYSIS
Brown was limited with a calf injury Wednesday, but he's already back to full health. He'll suit up as the Raiders' starting right tackle on Sunday in Carolina.
Aug 28, 2020
Makes practice debut
Brown (undisclosed) participated in Friday's practice, Sam Gordon of the Las Vegas Review-Journal reports.
ANALYSIS
This was Brown's first time practicing during training camp, and he'll start preparing for Week 1's game versus the Panthers. The 27-year-old is locked in as the Raiders' starting right tackle.

Expected back soon
Coach Jon Gruden said Brown (undisclosed), who did not practice Tuesday, "should be out in a few days," Paul Gutierrez of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Brown has missed six consecutive practices due to an undisclosed injury, but it doesn't look as though his availability for Week 1 is in any danger. The 27-year-old will hold down the fort at right tackle for Las Vegas when fully healthy.

Yet to practice
Brown has missed three straight practices to kick off training camp for an undisclosed reason, Paul Gutierrez of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Brown along with running back Josh Jacobs have yet to practice but are not considered injured. According to coach Jon Gruden, "The head coach gets to make a decision or two and you'll see those guys soon enough. They're not out; they're working. You just don't see them." While its remains unclear what exactly is going on, it does not sound like it is something that will affect his status for Week 1.

Will play Sunday
Brown (knee) is officially active for Sunday's game against Kansas City.
ANALYSIS
Brown was expected to suit up in the game despite being a non-participant in Friday's practice, so this news isn't quite surprising. Now that the 26-year-old is officially ready to go, he's expected to be deployed as the team's starting right tackle.
Dec 1, 2019
On track to face Chiefs
Brown (knee) is expected to suit up against the Chiefs on Sunday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Brown practiced in full to begin the week, but he was added to Friday's injury report as a non-participant due to a knee injury. It looks as though the 26-year-old will managed to play through the issue and draw his usual start at right tackle in Kansas City on Sunday.
Nov 29, 2019
Questionable for Sunday
Brown (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Chiefs.
ANALYSIS
Brown put in two full practices during the week before popping up on the injury report Friday as a non-participant. David Sharpe (calf) does not have an injury designation and would be in line to replace the 26-year-old if he is forced to sit out.
Nov 17, 2019
Ready to roll
Brown (knee) is officially active for Sunday's game against the Bengals.
ANALYSIS
Brown logged just limited practices throughout the week, and came into the game with a questionable tag. Now that the 26-year-old is officially healthy, expect him to slot into his usual role as the team's starting right tackle.
Nov 15, 2019
Questionable for Week 11
Brown (knee) is questionable for Sunday's game against Cincinnati.
ANALYSIS
Brown was limited in practice Wednesday and Thursday but sat out Friday. It's unclear if his absence was a rest day or a setback, but if the 26-year-old can't play, Brandon Parker would likely step in.
Nov 7, 2019
Gearing up for TNF
Brown (knee) is active for Thursday's matchup against the Chargers.
ANALYSIS
Despite suffering an injury just four days ago, Brown is ready to rock for the divisional contest. He'll start at right tackle and will have the tall task of slowing down both Joe Bosa and Melvin Ingram.
Nov 6, 2019
Questionable against Chargers
Brown (knee) is listed as questionable for Thursday's matchup against the Chargers.
ANALYSIS
Brown was a limited participant in Tuesday's and Wednesday's practices, but it's still a quick turnaround after suffering a knee injury in this past Sunday's win over the Lions. If Brown's ruled inactive 90 minutes before Thursday's 8:20 p.m. ET kickoff, either David Sharpe or Brandon Parker figure to start at right tackle.
Nov 3, 2019
Leaves game Sunday
Brown (knee) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against Detroit, Myles Simmons of the Las Vegas Review-Journal reports.
ANALYSIS
It's unclear how Brown suffered the injury, but he wasn't on the field for the offense's first possession of the second quarter. As long as the Florida product is sidelined, look for David Sharpe to take over as the team's right tackle.
Sep 27, 2019
Labeled questionable
Brown (ankle) is officially listed as questionable for Sunday's contest against the Colts.
ANALYSIS
Brown logged a full practice at Friday after being limited earlier in the week, so he appears to be trending in the right direction. Confirmation on the starting right tackle's status should come prior to kickoff Sunday morning. David Sharpe would presumably fill in should he end up not being available.
Sep 26, 2019
Limited Wednesday
Brown (ankle/knee) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, Paul Gutierrez of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Brown doesn't yet appear to have fully recovered from the injury he suffered Week 3 versus the Vikings, though it's positive news that he wasn't held out of practice entirely. It remains to be seen whether the starting right tackle will return to full health in time for Sunday's game against the Colts.
Sep 25, 2019
Back at practice
Brown (ankle) was a full participant for Wednesday's practice, Matt Kawahara of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
ANALYSIS
Brown suffered the injury during Sunday's game against the Vikings, but as evidenced by this news, only suffered a slight nick. Now that he's back healthy, expect the Florida product to be deployed as the team's starting right tackle for this Sunday's game against the Colts.
Sep 22, 2019
Officially active
Brown (knee) will play in Sunday's game against the Vikings.
ANALYSIS
Brown was originally expected to play in Sunday's game after logging full practice Friday, and this news confirms that notion. He'll likely assume his usual starting role on the offensive line at right tackle for the game.
Sep 22, 2019
Shes injury
Brown (knee) is expected to play in Sunday's road contest against the Vikings, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Brown was able to log full practice during Friday's session, but was still considered questionable for the contest. Brown is all but guaranteed to suit up for the game, but as always, won't make it official until inactives come out prior to kickoff.
Sep 20, 2019
Questionable for Sunday
Brown (knee) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Vikings.
ANALYSIS
Brown was a full participant in Friday's practice after having been sidelined Wednesday and Thursday. He appears to be trending towards suiting up Week 3, though David Sharpe will draw the start at right tackle if Brown is unable to go.
Sep 18, 2019
No practice Wednesday
Brown (knee) did not practice Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
Brown exited Sunday's loss to the Chiefs due to a sore knee and didn't return. He'll likely need to ramp up his participation in practice Thursday and Friday in order to have a shot at taking the field Week 3 versus Minnesota. If Brown is unable to go, expect David Sharpe to slot into the starting lineup at right tackle.
