News

  • Expected to suit up Sunday

    League sources indicate that Brown (knee) is expected to play in Sunday's Week 14 contest versus the Jets, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

    Analysis: Brown returned from a two-game absence to log 79 percent of Houston's offensive snaps in last Sunday's win against Denver, though he didn't catch either of his two targets in that contest. The veteran wideout then logged a limited practice session followed by a full practice session to begin Week 14 prep before sitting out Friday completely. Despite that DNP, Brown appears set to take the field Sunday against New York, and he could see an increase in targets with Tank Dell out for the season…read more

  • Draws questionable tag

    Brown (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Jets after not practicing Friday.

    Analysis: Brown was limited at Wednesday's practice, then logged a full session Thursday. The Texans haven't clarified whether the wideout's lack of Friday was the result of a setback or more of a maintenance-related matter, but his status is now worth tracking ahead of Sunday's 1 p.m. ET kickoff. If Brown is able to play this weekend, he'll likely be in store for a key role in the Houston passing attack after Tank Dell (lower leg) was placed on injured reserve due to the season-ending injury he suffered…read more

  • Turns in full practice

    Brown (knee) was a full participant in Thursday's practice.

    Analysis: Brown was a limited participant Wednesday in the Texans' first Week 14 practice, though his restrictions were most likely maintenance-related after he had missed two straight games before he returned to action in this past Sunday's 22-17 win over the Broncos. Though he logged a 79 percent snap share in his return to the lineup, Brown was held without a reception on two targets. After Tank Dell suffered a season-ending fractured fibula in the win over Denver, expect Brown to claim a higher…read more

  • Limited in practice, no setbacks

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

    Analysis: Brown returned from a two-game absence Sunday and ended up playing nearly every snap in a win over the Broncos after Tank Dell suffered a season-ending leg injury in the first quarter. Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports that Brown made it through the game without any setbacks to his injured knee and should thus remain a starter for the Texans moving forward, including during this Sunday's game at the Jets. Brown had back-to-back games with more than 150 receiving yards in early November,…read more

  • Quiet in return

    Brown failed to catch either of his two targets in Sunday's 22-17 win over Denver in Week 13.

    Analysis: Brown returned from a two-week absence due to a knee injury and played 55 snaps (81 percent), tied with Nico Collins for most at wideout. Prior to the injury, Brown played a crucial role in wins over Tampa Bay and Cincinnati, catching 13 of 14 targets for 325 yards and a touchdown. The Texans will need a return to that form after Tank Dell suffered a season-ending leg injury Sunday. Brown is not a direct replacement for Dell's field-stretching ability, but he's expected to get more balls thrown…read more

  • Returning from two-game absence

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

    Analysis: Despite missing the Texans' final Week 13 practice Friday and being limited for sessions Wednesday and Thursday, Brown demonstrated enough progress in his recovery from a bruised knee to gain clearance to play Sunday. He'll be back in action after a two-game absence, looking to build on his strong showing over his previous three outings, when he accrued a 16-382-1 receiving line on 19 targets. Brown took on 70-plus-percent snap shares in each of those contests, though now that all of Nico…read more

  • Should play versus Denver

    Brown (knee) is expected to play in Sunday's game against the Broncos, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

    Analysis: Brown is officially listed as questionable for Week 13 while he works his way back from the knee contusion that has sidelined him for the past two games, but he was able to log consecutive limited practice sessions Wednesday and Thursday before sitting out Friday's session. Barring any setbacks during pregame warmups, however, the 27-year-old is expected to be formally cleared for Sunday's game upon the release of the Texans' inactive list 90 minutes prior to the 1 p.m. ET kickoff. In the two…read more

  • Questionable for Sunday

    Brown (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Broncos after missing practice Friday.

    Analysis: Brown, who has been sidelined for two straight contests, logged limited sessions Wednesday and Thursday before being downgraded to no activity Friday. The wideout's status for this weekend's contest thus is cloudy, though fortunately for those interested in utilizing either Brown or Tank Dell (calf, questionable) in Week 13 fantasy lineups, the Texans kick off at 1:00 p.m. ET on Sunday.

  • Still limited Thursday

    Brown (knee) remained a limited participant in practice Thursday.

    Analysis: Brown has missed two straight games, but consecutive limited practices to begin Week 13 prep improve the wideout's chances of returning to action Sunday against the Broncos. Friday's injury report will clarify whether Brown heads into the weekend with a designation or is cleared to face Denver. Before sitting out a win over Arizona and a loss to Jacksonville over the past two weeks, Brown had generated a 16-382-1 line on 19 targets in three outings following Houston's Week 7 bye.

  • Limited in return to practice

    Brown (knee) was a limited practice participant Wednesday.

    Analysis: Brown, who has missed two straight games due to a knee contusion, didn't practice at all last week. With that in mind, the wideout's return to the field in a limited capacity Wednesday has him trending in the right direction ahead of Sunday's game against the Broncos. If Brown is able to play this weekend, he'll likely have to compete with Nico Collins, Tank Dell (calf) and Robert Woods for targets from quarterback C.J. Stroud.

  • Back at practice

    Brown (knee) was spotted at practice Wednesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

    Analysis: Brown, who Wilson relays is dealing with a knee contusion, has missed two straight games. The wideout's presence at practice Wednesday offers hope that he could return to action Sunday against the Broncos. The Texans' will release their first Week 13 injury report later Wednesday, when the extent of Brown's practice participation will be known.

  • Ruled out this week

    Brown (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Jaguars.

    Analysis: Brown, who wasn't able to practice this week, will thus target a potential return to action Dec. 3 against the Broncos. In his continued absence this weekend, Nico Collins, Tank Dell and Robert Woods are slated to headline the Texans' wideout corps.

  • Still not practicing

    Brown (knee) wasn't spotted at practice Friday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

    Analysis: Brown didn't practice Wednesday or Thursday, and his continued absence suggests he'll likely be ruled out for Sunday's game against the Jaguars upon the release of the Texans' final Week 12 injury report later Friday. If Brown ends up sitting out, Robert Woods would likely join Nico Collins and Tank Dell as a mainstay in three-receiver sets this weekend.

  • Listed as non-participant again

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

    Analysis: After having logged a DNP on Wednesday, another listed absence clouds Brown's availability for Sunday's game against the Jaguars. If the wideout remains sidelined this weekend, Nico Collins, Tank Dell and Robert Woods will continue to lead the Texans' WR corps Week 12.

    Brown (knee) isn't practicing Wednesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

    Analysis: Brown failed to practice in any capacity last week and ultimately sat out this past Sunday's 21-16 win over the Cardinals. He still isn't ready to resume practicing as the Texans begin their preparations for a Week 12 home game against the Jaguars. In his last two games prior to the injury, Brown compiled 325 yards and one touchdown. He has two more opportunities to return to practice and will likely need to take the field in at least some capacity to suit up for Sunday's clash between AFC…read more

  • Could be facing 1-to-2-week absence

    Brown, who is inactive for Sunday's game against the Cardinals, isn't expected to require a long-term recovery from his knee injury and could be fully healed in 1-to-2 weeks, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

    Analysis: Brown wasn't able to practice in any fashion this week after he emerged from his big performance in the Texans' Week 10 win over the Bengals with the injury. Fortunately, the knee concern isn't a significant one, and Brown should have a realistic chance at returning to action Week 12 against the Jaguars on Nov. 26 if he can practice in some fashion leading up to the contest. Over his last two outings, Brown has produced a 13-325-1 receiving line on 14 targets, perhaps cementing himself as a…read more

  • Won't play Sunday

    Brown (knee) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Cardinals.

    Analysis: Brown, who didn't practice this past week, headed into the contest officially listed as questionable, but he'll sit this one out and target a potential return next weekend against the Jaguars. In the absence of Brown -- who had combined to rack up 13 catches for 325 yards and a TD over his last two games -- Nico Collins, Tank Dell and Robert Woods are available to lead the Texans' Week 11 wideout corps.

  • Unlikely to play Sunday

    Brown (knee) is not expected to play Sunday against the Cardinals, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: Brown will work out before the 1 p.m. ET kickoff to determine his status, but it's unlikely that he gets the green light to play. If Brown is deemed inactive, veteran Robert Woods is expected to slide back into three-wide sets, with Nico Collins and rookie Tank Dell handling most of the heavy lifting for the Texans.

  • Questionable after three DNPs

    Brown (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Cardinals, DJ Bien-Aime of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Brown didn't practice in any capacity throughout the week, leading Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston to speculate earlier Friday that Brown would be unavailable Sunday, but the wide receiver wasn't officially ruled out on Friday's injury report. Nonetheless, Brown seems more likely than not to sit out, so fantasy managers who were planning to deploy the wide receiver after he had racked up 325 receiving yards over the previous two games should start lining up alternatives.

  • Not expected to face long-term absence

    Though Brown is trending toward missing Sunday's game against the Cardinals, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston notes that the wideout's knee issue isn't seen as more than a one- or two-week situation.

    Analysis: With Brown not practicing again Friday, per DJ Bien-Aime of ESPN.com, it appears likely that he'll be ruled out for Week 11 action once the Texans' final injury report is released. If that's the case, Nico Collins (calf) -- if available -- Tank Dell and Robert Woods would be in line to lead the team's WR corps this weekend.

  • Not expected to play Week 11

    Brown (knee) didn't practice Friday and isn't likely to play in Sunday's game against the Cardinals, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

    Analysis: Brown piled up 325 yards and a touchdown in his previous two games, but it looks like he'll be unable to build on that momentum against Arizona. Houston's hoping to get fellow wide receiver Nico Collins (calf) back from a one-game absence, while Tank Dell and Robert Woods should both see significant playing time at wide receiver assuming Brown is unavailable.

  • Missing another practice

    Brown (knee) remained sidelined at practice Thursday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

    Analysis: Brown -- who is coming off back-to-back productive outings -- also was absent from Wednesday's session, so what he's able to do Friday could be pivotal with regard to his chances of being available Sunday against the Cardinals. On the plus side for the Texans, Nico Collins (calf) practiced in a limited fashion Wednesday, while Robert Woods (foot) was back on the field Thursday, per Wilson.

    Brown missed Wednesday's practice with a knee injury.

    Analysis: Brown played a season-high 75 percent of snaps in Sunday's 30-27 win over the Bengals while recording a career-high 172 receiving yards, narrowly surpassing his previous best of 153 yards from Houston's Week 9 win over the Buccaneers. His knee injury isn't necessarily serious, but there's another potential threat to replicating his improbable production from the past two weeks in the form of Nico Collins, who is likely to play Week 11 against the Cardinals after a calf injury kept him out for…read more

  • One-ups Week 9 effort Sunday

    Brown brought in seven of eight targets for 172 yards in the Texans' 30-27 win over the Bengals on Sunday.

    Analysis: A week after establishing a new career high with 153 receiving yards against the Buccaneers, Brown managed to outdo himself on an afternoon where more targets than usual were available due to the absence of Nico Collins (calf). Brown's reception and receiving yardage tallies were both team- and season-high figures, and he was second in targets only to Tank Dell. Brown's play over the last two weeks is likely to eventually push Robert Woods, who returned to action Sunday from a foot injury, into…read more

  • Breaks out for career-best effort

    Brown brought in all six targets for 153 yards and a touchdown in the Texans' 39-37 win over the Buccaneers on Sunday.

    Analysis: Brown led the Texans in receiving yardage in the memorable victory, serving as the most prolific beneficiary of C.J. Stroud's record-setting 470-yard performance. The speedy veteran wideout garnered nearly half of his career-high yardage total on a 75-yard catch-and-run touchdown down the left sideline early in the third quarter, but his reception total was also a season high. Brown has multiple receptions in all four games he's suited up for this season, and now that he's clearly healthy, he…read more

    Analysis: Brown led Houston's skill players in scrimmage yards on a day when the offense never got on track. He's been targeted 10 times over the last two games, although the Texans have not had a full complement of WRs healthy during that time.

  • Five targets in return

    Brown caught two of five targets for 37 yards in Sunday's 20-13 win over New Orleans.

    Analysis: Brown was activated off injured reserve and slipped back into the No. 3 wideout spot, playing 35 snaps. While he was on IR with a groin injury, Tank Dell (concussion) emerged as a favorite target for C.J. Stroud, but Dell was inactive for Sunday's game. The Texans have a Week 7 bye, so fantasy GMs will have to wait to get a clearer picture of whether Dell or Brown is the true third option behind Nico Collins and Robert Woods -- assuming either player truly seizes the role.

  • Available for Sunday

    Brown (groin) was activated off injured reserve Saturday.

    Analysis: Brown played 49 offensive snaps Week 1 before suffering a groin injury that landed him on injured reserve. The emergence of Tank Dell (concussion) might make the former Cowboys wide receiver less of a factor upon his return, but the Texans do have multiple receivers in Dell and Robert Woods (ribs) listed as questionable for Sunday's contest.

    Brown (groin) returned to practice Wednesday and has been designated to return from injured reserve.

    Analysis: The Texans will have 21 days to evaluate Brown in practice before either adding him to the 53-man roster or keeping him on IR for the rest of the season. He caught three of four targets for 20 yards in the season opener before spending four weeks on injured reserve, but the wide receiver could be back as soon as Sunday's game against the Saints. If he's activated by Sunday, Brown could be featured in three-receiver sets alongside Nico Collins and Robert Woods, as Tank Dell is in the NFL's…read more

  • Eligible to return Week 6

    Brown (groin) is eligible to return to the active roster Week 6 against the Saints.

    Analysis: If Brown is designated for return from injured reserve, the Texans would have a 21-day window to add him to the roster. With Tank Dell currently in concussion protocol and potentially unavailable Sunday against New Orleans, Brown -- if healthy -- could factor into the mix at receiver behind Nico Collins and Robert Woods. John Metchie would also be a candidate to help replace Dell as the Texans' No. 3 wideout.

  • Lands on IR

    The Texans placed Brown on injured reserve Wednesday with a groin injury.

    Analysis: Per Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston, Brown's groin injury is viewed as a short-term issue, which suggests that the wideout could be back in action Week 6 after missing the minimum four games. In Brown's looming absence, 2023 third-round rookie Tank Dell is expected to see added snaps alongside Nico Collins and Robert Woods.

  • Involved in Week 1 loss

    Brown caught three of four targets for 20 yards and lost one yard on his only carry in Sunday's 25-9 loss to the Ravens in Week 1.

    Analysis: He was on the field for 52 offensive snaps, comparable to Robert Woods (58) and Nico Collins (54), although they both saw double-digit targets. One of Brown's four targets and his lone rushing attempt came in the red zone though, which is encouraging for his fantasy potential. As the Ravens were bottling up Houston's ground game, quarterback C.J. Stroud had to throw it 44 times, which created opportunities for all his receivers.

  • Makes preseason debut

    Brown caught one of three targets for 14 yards in Saturday's 28-3 preseason loss to Miami.

    Analysis: Brown didn't get on the field for Houston's preseason opener last week against New England, but he took on a prominent role Saturday with Tank Dell sidelined due to a leg injury. Brown was on the field for the Texans' first possession, which began at the Miami seven-yard line, and targeted twice on the team's second possession, Houston's only scoring drive. All of his target activity was in the first half with C.J. Stroud at quarterback.

  • Signing with Texans

    Brown is in line to sign a one-year deal with the Texans, Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News reports.

    Analysis: The 6-foot-2, 225 pounder, who posted career highs with Dallas last season (43 catches for 555 yards and three touchdowns) adds size and experience to the Texans' wideout corps ahead of the coming season. However, the 27-year-old's fantasy upside hinges on what other moves the Texans make at the position, as well as how the team's quarterback situation plays out in advance of the regular season.

    Brown caught 43 of 73 targets for 555 yards and three touchdowns over 16 regular-season games in 2022.

    Analysis: The 27-year-old came into the season with little fanfare and little career production on his resume, but Brown took advantage of a threadbare depth chart behind CeeDee Lamb early in the season to establish himself as a legitimate NFL receiving threat, posting an 18-274-1 line on 27 targets over the first four games of 2022 despite mostly working with backup QB Cooper Rush.

  • Just one grab against Washington

    Brown caught one of six targets for 10 yards in Sunday's loss to the Commanders.

    Analysis: He and Michael Gallup posted identical awful lines as Dak Prescott completed just 37.8 percent of his passes in the regular-season finale, leading to a season-worst performance by the Dallas offense as a whole. Brown caught only one pass in each of the last three games, ceding looks to T.Y. Hilton, and that's not likely to change in Monday's wild-card clash with the Buccaneers.

    Brown caught one of two targets for five yards in Saturday's win over the Eagles.

    Analysis: One week after Brown tied his career high with six catches in a two-touchdown performance, he was basically an afterthought in the Dallas offense and watched T.Y. Hilton haul in a huge 52-yard grab in his Cowboys debut. His blocking skills still had him on the field for 55 offensive snaps (76.4 percent), third among Dallas wideouts and well ahead of Hilton's 11, but the additional competition for targets from Dak Prescott will make Brown even more difficult to rely upon from a fantasy…read more

    Brown (foot) doesn't have a designation for Saturday's game versus the Eagles, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: After being listed as limited on the Cowboys' first two practice reports of the week due to a foot injury, Brown managed to log every rep at Thursday's session, paving the way for him to make his 14th appearance of the season in 15 chances. He's hit a bit of a hot streak of late, gathering in 10 of 15 targets for 134 yards and two touchdowns over the last two contests. Brown may find the going tough, though, Saturday against Philadelphia's No. 1 ranked pass defense (172.4 yards per game).

  • Remains limited Wednesday

    Brown (foot) was a limited practice participant Wednesday, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: One day removed from being listed as limited on the Cowboys' first Week 16 injury report due to a foot issue, Brown maintained that activity level Wednesday. He'll have one more chance to get back to full participation Thursday, at which point the team may clarify his availability ahead of Saturday's showdown with the Eagles. Brown has put together two straight productive outings, amounting to 10 catches (on 15 targets) for 134 yards and two touchdowns.

  • Tending to foot issue

    Brown was listed as limited by a foot injury on Tuesday's practice estimate, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: After a productive first four weeks of the season (18-274-1 line on 27 targets), Brown didn't surpass 50 receiving yards or score a touchdown in any of his next seven appearances. Over the last two games, though, he's found a groove with quarterback Dak Prescott, as he's hauled in 10 of 15 passes for 134 yards and two touchdowns. With a health concern plaguing Brown to begin Week 15 prep, his status should be watched as the week continues to get a sense of his potential to play Saturday versus…read more

  • Two scores in loss

    Brown recorded six receptions on nine targets for 49 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 40-34 loss to Jacksonville.

    Analysis: Brown surprisingly led Dallas in targets, though he fell behind CeeDee Lamb in both receptions and yards. The highlights of his performance came on his pair of touchdown grabs, which were from one and 13 yards away. Brown appears to have surpassed Michael Gallup in priority for targets, as he has 15 looks combined across his last two games, resulting in 134 yards and two scores.

  • Strong showing against Houston

    Brown caught four of six targets for 85 yards in Sunday's 27-23 win over the Texans.

    Analysis: Most of that production came on a 51-yard reception to convert a third-and-13 early in the second quarter, but Brown also was clutch on the Cowboys' final series as he made a diving 18-yard catch with just 78 seconds left to help set up Ezekiel Elliott's game-winning score. It was Brown's best performance since he posted a 5-91-1 line back in Week 2, and it appears as though the sixth-year wideout has earned Dak Prescott's trust. Even with James Washington now active, Brown should retain a…read more

  • Two catches against Colts

    Brown caught both of his targets for 15 yards in Sunday's win over the Colts.

    Analysis: Both receptions came in the first quarter while the game was still in doubt before the Cowboys' running game and defense began to dominate. Brown hasn't caught more than two passes in a game since Week 7, and with James Washington (foot, IR) back at practice and Odell Beckham (knee) coming in for a visit, his role isn't like to grow.

  • Two grabs against Minnesota

    Brown caught both his targets for 42 yards in Sunday's 40-3 win over the Vikings.

    Analysis: The Cowboys didn't need to attack downfield much with Ezekiel Elliott and Tony Pollard accounting for two touchdowns each out of the backfield, but Brown still made an impact with a 35-yard catch in the third quarter that set up Elliott's second score of the day. Brown hasn't seen a significant role in the offense since Michael Gallup returned from a knee injury, and his snaps and targets could all but disappear down the stretch if Odell Beckham does end up landing in Dallas.

  • Just one catch in OT loss

    Brown caught one of three targets for three yards in Sunday's overtime loss to the Packers.

    Analysis: After missing the Cowboys' last game before their Week 9 bye due to a foot injury, Brown saw his usual snap share in his return to action. His role as a receiver continues to dwindle, however. After catching exactly five passes in three straight games to begin the season while Michael Gallup was out, Brown has just 11 receptions on 21 targets for 129 yards in five contests since Week 4. Barring an injury to Gallup or CeeDee Lamb, Brown's target volume isn't likely to increase significantly Week…read more

  • Good to go for Week 10

    Brown (foot) doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game at Green Bay, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Brown cleared up any concern about his availability for the Week 10 contest by practicing fully Friday. After missing his first game of the season in the Cowboys' Week 8 win over the Bears, the 26-year-old shouldn't face any major restrictions as he returns to the lineup following a bye week. Expect him to settle back in as Dallas' No. 3 wideout behind CeeDee Lamb and Michael Gallup.

  • Logs limited session Thursday

    Brown (foot) practiced in a limited capacity Thursday, Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News reports.

    Analysis: Prior to sitting out Week 8 due to a foot injury, Brown didn't practice at all, so his ability to string together back-to-back capped sessions following the Cowboys' Week 9 bye is a positive sign for his upcoming availability. Friday's practice report could provide a clearer picture for his odds to suit up Sunday in Green Bay, and if he ends up active he'll continue to serve as the team's No. 3 wide receiver behind CeeDee Lamb and Michael Gallup.

    Analysis: Brown and running back Ezekiel Elliott (foot) both missed their first games of the season Week 8 before both returned to the Cowboys' first post-bye-week practice Wednesday as limited participants. While Elliott's status will be of more interest for fantasy purposes, Brown topped 50 yards five times in seven games before the foot injury, enjoying a breakout of sorts at age 26.

  • Missing first game of season

    Brown (foot) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Bears, Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News reports.

    Analysis: Brown took a questionable tag into the weekend, despite not practicing in any fashion Wednesday through Friday. The Cowboys held out hope that the receiver might demonstrate enough progress in pregame warmups to suit up Sunday, but he'll ultimately miss his first game of the season. With Brown in street clothes, rookie Jalen Tolbert could get a look in the No. 3 receiver role behind CeeDee Lamb and Michael Gallup.

  • Questionable after missed practice

    Brown (foot) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Bears, Patrick Walker of the Cowboys' official site reports.

    Analysis: Brown handled a full workload in last week's win over the Lions but then was held out of practice all this week. He thus appears truly questionable ahead of the Cowboys' 1:00 ET kickoff, with KaVontae Turpin and Jalen Tolbert on hand to fill in at wide receiver if Brown can't play.

  • Sits out again Thursday

    Brown (foot) was a non-participant at Thursday's practice.

    Analysis: Brown has opened Week 8 prep with no activity for two days in a row, raising the prospect that he may be unavailable to the Cowboys offense Sunday against the Bears. Ultimately, his status may receive some clarity on Friday's injury report, and if he begins to trend to sitting out this weekend, CeeDee Lamb and Michael Gallup would serve as the main wide receivers for quarterback Dak Prescott.

  • Tending to foot issue

    Brown didn't practice Wednesday due to a foot injury, Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News reports.

    Analysis: Brown has been a regular in the Cowboys' passing game all season, logging between 77 and 91 percent of the offensive snaps weekly and producing five outings of 50-plus yards in seven contests. With no activity whatsoever to begin Week 8 prep, Brown's status will be one to watch Thursday and Friday to get a sense of his availability (or lack thereof) for Sunday's contest against the Bears.

  • Co-leads team in receptions

    Brown secured five of seven targets for 50 yards and lost a fumble in the Cowboys' 24-6 win over the Lions on Sunday.

    Analysis: Brown tied Dalton Schultz for the team lead in receptions and checked in second in receiving yards to CeeDee Lamb, making it a solid bounce-back effort after posting a combined 2-15-0 line in the prior two games. As Sunday's showing indicates, Brown could be a beneficiary of more consistent production now that Dak Prescott is back under center, and he'll aim to build on his numbers in a Week 8 battle against the Bears.

  • Only one catch Sunday

    Brown caught one of three targets for 10 yards in Sunday's loss to the Eagles.

    Analysis: The 26-year-old wideout very nearly had a spectacular touchdown catch in the back corner of the end zone just before halftime, but upon review it was ruled he didn't get a second foot or other body part down in bounds after securing the ball. Brown has seen his target volume dwindle the last couple games with Michael Gallup back in action, but the entire Cowboys passing game could get a boost Week 7 if Dak Prescott (thumb) is able to return to action.

  • One catch against Rams

    Brown caught one of two targets for five yards in a Week 5 win over the Rams.

    Analysis: Michael Gallup was a little more involved in his second game back from a knee injury, hauling in four of five targets to top Brown's output, but the latter still was on the field for 76 percent of the Cowboys' offensive snaps (42 of 55) compared to Gallup's 55 percent (30 snaps). The entire Dallas passing game likely will need to be a lot more involved Week 6 against the Eagles -- Cooper Rush attempted only 16 passes against the Rams, with the defense, running game and special teams all…read more

  • Practices in full Wednesday

    Brown (neck) was a full practice participant Wednesday, Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News reports.

    Analysis: Brown exited the Cowboys' Week 4 win against the Commanders in the fourth quarter due to a neck injury, but it didn't hold him back during the first session of Week 5 prep. Assuming he avoids a game-day designation ahead of Sunday's contest at the Rams, he'll be a part of a receiving corps headed by CeeDee Lamb and Michael Gallup. In Gallup's season debut this past Sunday, he logged 61 percent of the snaps on offense, while Brown managed 79 percent.

  • Should practice ahead of Week 5

    Cowboys head coach Mike McCarthy said Monday that Brown should practice ahead of Week 5 after leaving Sunday's win over the Commanders due to a neck injury, Calvin Watkins of The Dallas Morning News reports.

    Analysis: Brown caught three of six targets for 61 yards before leaving the contest with a neck issue, but McCarthy said he got a "good report" and expects Brown to be okay heading into the team's Week 5 matchup against the Rams. Michael Gallup (knee) made his season debut, but he didn't significantly impact Brown's production. Through four games, the fifth-year wideout has caught 18 of 27 targets for 274 yards and one touchdown. Despite McCarthy's comments, fantasy managers should monitor Brown's…read more

  • Hurts neck Sunday

    Brown injured his neck during Sunday's 25-10 win against the Commanders, Calvin Watkins of The Dallas Morning News reports.

    Analysis: During the fourth quarter, Brown ran to the sideline, seemingly favoring his left arm, but he eventually was deemed questionable to return due to a neck issue. He was unable to retake the field, ending his day with three catches (on six targets) for 61 yards. Michael Gallup (knee) was back in the lineup Sunday and figures to earn more work as he gets his feet under him, which could hinder Brown's potential moving forward. First, though, Brown may have some practice limitations this week as the…read more

  • Commands seven targets

    Brown recorded five receptions on seven targets for 54 yards in Monday's 23-16 win over the Giants.

    Analysis: Brown finished second on the team in targets, behind only CeeDee Lamb. While he was moderately productive, Brown narrowly missed a touchdown for the second consecutive game after he was tackled at the one-yard line late in the third quarter. Despite producing admirably through three weeks, Brown's involvement in the Cowboys' offense could be in jeopardy with Michael Gallup (knee) nearing his return to the field.

  • Scores first career TD

    Brown caught all five of his targets for 91 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 20-17 win over the Bengals.

    Analysis: The depth receiver was Cooper Rush's most reliable option on the day, and Brown not only led Dallas in receiving yards, he caught his first career NFL touchdown in the first quarter on a nine-yard strike from Rush. Michael Gallup (knee) appears close to rejoining the lineup, however, and this performance may well end up being the high-water mark for Brown this season heading into a Week 3 clash with a Giants secondary that's yet to allow more than 66 receiving yards to a WR.

CeeDee Lamb is the only Dallas wide receiver who can be considered a lock for significant volume, with Brown, Jalen Tolbert, Dennis Houston, Simi Fehoko and KaVontae Turpin representing the other options at the position.

Fellow wideout CeeDee Lamb (foot laceration) also missed practice, so the Cowboys are without some of their more experienced pass catchers as they prepare for Saturday's preseason contest against the Chargers.

    Brown (coach's decision) did not play in the Cowboys' 17-7 preseason loss to the Broncos on Saturday night.

    Analysis: Head coach Mike McCarthy opted to give rookie third-round pick Jalen Tolbert plenty of run and notably kept Brown on the sideline alongside No. 1 wideout CeeDee Lamb. The 26-year-old Brown is likely to open the season as the No. 3 wideout behind Lamb and Tolbert if Michael Gallup (knee) remains sidelined for Week 1 as expected.

    Brown figures to be the next man up at wide receiver after James Washington suffered a fractured foot Monday and will miss 6-to-10 weeks, Rob Phillips of the Cowboys' official website reports.

    Analysis: CeeDee Lamb is the clear top option at wideout, and 2022 third-round pick Jalen Tolbert already was expected to get as much of a workload as he could handle, so Brown is the player on the current roster most likely to see increased snaps and targets with Washington sidelined. The 26-year-old also is the only Dallas receiver other than Lamb who has caught a pass in the NFL in their careers.

    Analysis: Brown is officially active in practice once again after signing a one-year, $895,000 deal to return to the Cowboys in March. The fifth-year wideout brought in a career-high 16 of 25 targets for 184 yards over 13 games last year, but he should push for an increased role in Dallas' passing game after the departure of wideouts Amari Cooper and Cedrick Wilson this offseason.

He finished the 2021 campaign with 16 catches on 25 targets for 184 yards over 13 games, though a significant amount of that production (six catches for 53 yards) came in a Thanksgiving loss to the Raiders when both CeeDee Lamb and Amari Cooper were sidelined.

    Brown caught 16 of 25 targets for 184 yards over 13 games this season.

    Analysis: The fourth-year wideout split his time between offense and special teams once again, and a significant chunk of his production (six catches for 53 yards) came in a Thanksgiving loss to the Raiders when both CeeDee Lamb and Amari Cooper were sidelined. Brown is a free agent this offseason, but he's useful enough as a depth piece to be brought back unless he wants an opportunity to compete for a starting role elsewhere.

The Cowboys' depth options at wide receiver were forced to see more action than usual with Amari Cooper sidelined due to COVID-19 and then CeeDee Lamb leaving the game early with a concussion, and that trend could continue into Week 12's Thanksgiving Day contest.

    Analysis: The yardage was a season high for Brown, who has posted a surprising 5-83-0 line on six targets over the last two games. With Michael Gallup (calf) potentially ready to come off IR after the Cowboys' Week 7 bye, however, Brown's modest role in the offense could be close to drying up.

    Analysis: The 25-year-old came into Week 5 with only one catch on the year but found a bigger role Sunday as offensive coordinator Kellen Moore went deep into his playbook. Brown could have scored his first career NFL touchdown had Cedrick Wilson not underthrown him on a trick play early in the fourth quarter. Brown sees a steady snap share on offense due to his abilities as a blocker, but he's unlikely to get consistent targets, especially once Michael Gallup (calf) is back in action.

  • Tests positive for COVID-19

    Coach Mike McCarthy said Tuesday that Brown has tested positive for COVID-19, which rules him out for Thursday's contest against the Buccaneers, Clarence E. Hill Jr. of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports.

    Analysis: Brown caught 14 passes for 154 yards in 16 games last season, but he will miss at least the first week of the 2021 season. It's unknown if he was vaccinated or not, which significantly affects the amount of time he is forced to be away from the team. After the early Thursday game, Brown will have 10 days to clear protocols before the Cowboys' Week 2 contest against the Chargers.

  • Re-signs with Dallas

    Brown (back) signed a one-year deal with the Cowboys on Monday, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: The 25-year-old primarily played on special teams for Dallas in 2020, but he still set career highs with 14 receptions for 154 yards. Brown figures to fill a similar role for the Cowboys in 2021.

  • Officially out

    Brown (back) will not return to Sunday's game against the Giants, Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News reports.

    Analysis: Brown left Sunday's game due to the issue. The wide receiver plays a depth role, recording 14 receptions for 154 yards this season. Amari Cooper and Michael Gallup will continue as the primary receivers while the Cowboys remain in the hunt for an NFC East title.

  • One catch in Sunday's win

    Brown caught one of six targets for 13 yards and added four rushing yards on one carry in Sunday's win over the 49ers.

    Analysis: With Amari Cooper being held in check by the Niners' secondary and Michael Gallup (hip) exiting the game late, Andy Dalton found himself looking for other options. The result was Brown's largest target volume of the season, but the extra looks didn't turn into much production. If Gallup is forced to miss more time, Brown could be elevated to the No. 3 receiver role Week 16 against the Eagles.

  • Held without catch against Bengals

    Brown was not targeted over eight offensive snaps during Sunday's 30-7 win against Cincinnati.

    Analysis: Brown had only garnered 39 combined offensive snaps over his preceding three appearances coming into Week 14, but he attracted a target on more than 15 percent of those plays. Last week, he pulled in three of four targets for 40 yards despite fielding just 11 snaps in a loss to Baltimore. Brown's output in Cincinnati was more reflective of his low snap count, and he'll remain a depth option for Dallas' receiving corps Week 15 against the injury-depleted 49ers secondary.

  • Three grabs in Baltimore

    Brown caught three of four targets for 40 yards in Tuesday's loss to the Ravens.

    Analysis: Tuesday's outing was Brown's best performance since Dak Prescott (ankle) got hurt, and the first time he hauled in multiple passes since Week 6. The Dallas receiving corps remains stacked -- even behind the team's big three of Amari Cooper, CeeDee Lamb and Michael Gallup, Brown isn't the clear No. 4 option ahead of Cedrick Wilson -- but as long as the defense keeps digging big holes for the passing game to climb out of, Brown could have occasionally productive outings.

  • Catches both targets

    Brown caught both of targets for 15 yards in Monday's 38-10 loss to the Cardinals.

    Analysis: The depth wideout has done well in his limited opportunities, but he's still only seen 10 targets through six weeks. Cedrick Wilson appeared to injure his ribs in the third quarter, which could afford Brown a few more snaps if Wilson is unable to play next week. It'll still take a couple of injuries to the top of the Cowboys' depth chart for Brown to really become a fantasy factor.

  • Four grabs in loss

    Brown caught all four of his targets for 43 yards in Sunday's loss to the Browns.

    Analysis: While the numbers were fairly modest, Brown set new career highs in receptions, yards and targets on a day when eight different Cowboys caught multiple passes from Dak Prescott. Brown remains low on the depth chart, but Dallas' No. 5 wideout could continue to find his way onto the box score if the team's defense remains one of the worst units in the NFL, forcing Prescott into shootouts on a weekly basis.

  • Makes two catches Sunday

    Brown caught both his targets for 28 yards in Sunday's comeback win over the Falcons.

    Analysis: Both grabs came in the fourth quarter as the Cowboys mounted their improbable comeback, and while Brown's second reception went into the books as a 20-yard gain, it would have been much longer had his run after the catch not been wiped out by a penalty on CeeDee Lamb. Brown missed all of last season while recovering from knee surgery, but he's healthy now and is pushing Cedrick Wilson for the No. 4 spot on the Dallas depth chart at WR.

  • Back in action

    Brown (knee) has been a full participant during training camp, Jess Haynie of InsidetheStar.com reports.

    Analysis: Brown spent much of the 2019 season on the PUP list while recovering from knee surgery, but the fact that he's healthy again should at least help his case for breaking camp with a spot on the Cowboys' 53-man roster. He'll likely be battling with Ventell Bryant for one spot at receiver. Since being selected by Dallas in the seventh round of the 2017 NFL Draft, Brown has appeared in 21 games, catching nine passes for 87 yards.

  • Shut down for season

    Brown (knee) won't return from the PUP list this season after undergoing a second surgery, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: The Cowboys hoped to activate Brown at some point this season, but he couldn't shake his lingering knee issue. The 23-year-old will go under the knife again to put him on track for the offseason program. Since being selected by Dallas in the seventh round of the 2017 NFL Draft, Brown has suited up in 21 games, catching nine passes for 87 yards.
