Racks up 131 yards in Week 3
Brown caught nine of 14 targets for 131 yards in Monday's 25-11 win over Tampa Bay.
Analysis: After being limited to 29 receiving yards in Week 2 against the Vikings, Brown gained 28 on Philadelphia's first pass of the game. That play set the tone for Brown's fourth game over 130 receiving yards since the start of last season. He easily led the team in targets, catches and receiving yards while setting season highs in all three categories. Brown scored 11 touchdowns in 2022, but he's still looking for his first score of 2023 heading into a Week 4 home game against the Commanders.

Kept in check during Week 2 win
Brown secured four of six targets for 29 yards in the Eagles' 34-28 win over the Vikings on Thursday night.
Analysis: Brown tied DeVonta Smith for second in receptions but was a distant runner-up to his fellow star wideout in receiving yardage. The big-bodied wideout's uninspiring line was partly the result of Jalen Hurts' modest 23 pass attempts and D'Andre Swift's standout 175-yard tally, however, and he'll remain a candidate for his first breakout of the season in a Week 3 road contest against the Buccaneers on Monday night, Sept. 25.

Leads way in rainy conditions
Brown recorded seven receptions on 10 targets for 79 yards in Sunday's 25-20 win over the Patriots.
Analysis: Brown and DeVonta Smith each had exactly 10 targets and seven receptions, though Brown worked more as the big-play threat. Despite rainy conditions, he had long receptions of 23 and 15 yards, each of which was based primarily on run after the catch. Given the context and typically tough matchup, it was a solid start to the new campaign for Brown.

Not playing Saturday
Brown isn't expected to play in Saturday's preseason game in Baltimore, Jeff McLane of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
Analysis: The Eagles starters aren't available for the team's exhibition opener, meaning Brown and DeVonta Smith will yield wide receiver reps to the likes of Quez Watkins, Olamide Zaccheaus and Devon Allen. Brown's next opportunity for game action is this coming Thursday versus the Browns.

Strong start to training camp
Brown has made numerous impressive plays in the Eagles' first few training camp practices, EJ Smith of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
Analysis: Brown and Jalen Hurts are picking up where they left off after the star receiver produced 1,496 yards and 11 touchdowns in his first season with the Eagles. The quarterback-receiver duo worked together in the offseason to further improve their chemistry, and that work seems to have paid off.

Catches long touchdown
Brown recorded six catches on eight targets for 96 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 38-35 Super Bowl loss to the Chiefs.
Analysis: Brown made his presence known early in the game when he made an impressive 45-yard grab for a touchdown to kick off the second quarter. He also chipped in some additional production, highlighted by a 22-yard reception just before halftime to set up a field goal. The effort capped Brown's first season in Philadelphia, during which he posted a career-best 88 receptions and 1,496 yards across 17 regular-season games.

Manages four catches in rout
Brown caught four of eight targets for 28 yards in Sunday's 31-7 win over the 49ers in the NFC Championship Game.
Analysis: The Eagles' passing game never had to ramp it up, as Brock Purdy (elbow) got hurt early for the Niners, and their offense struggled with journeyman Josh Johnson (concussion) under center. As a result, Brown had a second straight quiet playoff performance after reaching at least 70 yards in six straight games to close out the regular season. The hip issue that's slowed the fourth-year wideout in practice lately may have also been a factor, but Brown will have two weeks to heal up before the…read more

Clear of injury report
Brown (hip) isn't listed Wednesday on the Eagles' first injury report ahead of Sunday's NFC Championship Game against the 49ers.
Analysis: Brown was slow to get to his feet a few times during the later stages of this past Saturday's divisional-round win against the Giants. He touched on the subject Sunday, telling Jeff McLane of The Philadelphia Inquirer that his left hip got banged up during the contest. According to McLane, Brown also said that he's "good to go" prior to Wednesday's walk-through, which was confirmed now that his name wasn't included among Philadelphia's injured players on the active roster. Brown thus is set to…read more

Downplays hip issue
Brown tweaked his left hip in Saturday's 38-7 win over the Giants in the divisional round, but he told the Eagles training and coaching staffs that he'll be fine moving forward, Jeff McLane of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
Analysis: Because the Eagles raced out to a 28-0 halftime lead, Brown was afforded some rest late in the contest and finished the victory with three catches for 22 yards on six targets while playing 51 of 69 snaps on offense (73.9 percent). The hip issue doesn't look to be anything that will affect Brown's availability for the NFC Championship Game matchup with the 49ers this coming Sunday, but Brown could have his reps managed early on during the practice week as a precaution. By the time Sunday…read more

Quiet in divisional-round win
Brown brought in three of six targets for 22 yards in the Eagles' 38-7 divisional-round win over the Giants on Saturday night.
Analysis: Brown turned in a surprisingly middling showing in a game during which the Eagles offense was close to clicking on all cylinders. The Giants appeared to do a good job limiting Brown with star cornerback Adoree' Jackson, but fellow pass catchers DeVonta Smith and Dallas Goedert were able to take advantage. Brown will aim to atone for the quiet performance in an NFC Championship Game battle against either the Cowboys or 49ers a week from Sunday.

Leading receiver in win
Brown caught four of 10 targets for 95 yards in Sunday's 22-16 win over the Giants.
Analysis: Even with Jalen Hurts being held back in his return from a shoulder strain, Brown still nearly recorded his sixth 100-yard game of the season. The 25-year-old wideout wraps up his first regular season in Philadelphia with 88 catches on 145 targets for 1,496 yards, all career highs, and 11 touchdowns (tying the mark he hit in 2020), and he and Hurts will now get a week to rest with the Eagles having secured the top seed in the NFC and a first-round bye.

Breaks free for long touchdown
Brown recorded four catches on nine targets for 97 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 20-10 loss to the Saints.
Analysis: The Eagles offense was held in check for much of the day, and Brown had only two catches for 15 yards until late in the third quarter. Things changed quickly, however, as he had a catch and run of 78 yards to reach the end zone and account for the longest play of the day by either team. Brown has either a touchdown or 100 receiving yards in each of his last six games.

Good to go
Brown (knee) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Saints.
Analysis: Brown and RB Miles Sanders (knee) both resumed full practice participation Friday and avoided injury designations for Week 17, while QB Jalen Hurts (shoulder) is listed as doubtful. Brown topped 100 yard last week in Gardner Minshew's first start of the season, albeit with teammate DeVonta Smith having an even bigger game in a close, shootout loss to the Cowboys.

Stays limited at practice
Brown (rest/knee) was a limited practice participant Thursday.
Analysis: The Eagles have held back-to-back walkthroughs this week, for which Brown has had a cap on his reps. Josh Tolentino of The Philadelphia Inquirer noted that Brown was donning a compression sleeve on his left leg as he went through drills. Considering 'rest' was added next to Brown's name on Thursday's injury report, he may not be in any danger of sitting out Sunday against the Saints. Friday's report will reveal whether he has a designation ahead of that contest.

Limited by knee issue
Brown was a limited participant at Wednesday's walk-through session due to a knee injury.
Analysis: While top quarterback Jalen Hurts (shoulder) and running back Miles Sanders (knee) were listed as non-participants, Brown at least was able to log some on-field reps as the team kicked off Week 17 prep. Brown has yet to miss a game this season and has seen at least 80 percent of the snaps in eight consecutive contests, so Philadelphia may be capping his workload in practice to keep him as healthy as possible ahead of Sunday's matchup with the Saints.

Another 100-yard performance
Brown hauled in six of eight targets for 103 yards during Saturday's 40-34 loss at Dallas.
Analysis: Since a sparse Week 10 performance against the Commanders (one seven-yard catch on four targets), Brown has notched 100 receiving yards three times over the last six outings, with that trio all coming in the past four contests. Overall, during that six-game stretch, he's accrued a 36-579-4 line on 53 targets. And the most recent outburst from Brown occurred with Gardner Minshew and not Jalen Hurts (shoulder) under center. There's also a chance Hurts misses a Week 17 matchup with the Saints on…read more

Career-high 181 yards in win
Brown caught nine of 16 targets for 181 yards in Sunday's 25-20 win over the Bears.
Analysis: DeVonta Smith accounted for 104 of Jalen Hurts' 139 passing yards in the first half, while Brown turned his team-leading six targets into just two catches for 25 yards. In the third quarter, Brown got the Eagles down to the two-yard line with a 29-yard catch to set up Hurts' second rushing touchdown of the afternoon. Then, in the fourth, a 68-yard catch helped Brown overtake Smith for the team lead in receiving yards for the game. Brown had a three-game touchdown streak snapped in this one, but…read more

Team-high receiving yardage Sunday
Brown secured four of six targets for 70 yards and a touchdown in the Eagles' 48-22 win over the Giants on Sunday.
Analysis: Brown didn't come close to matching his stellar totals from the Week 13 win over his old Titans squad, but he still led the Eagles in receiving yards and secured his 10th touchdown of the season on a 33-yard grab just before the halfway point of the second quarter. He also eclipsed the 1,000-yard mark on the season with Sunday's production, and he'll carry a three-game streak with at least one scoring reception into a Week 15 road battle versus the Bears.

Crushes former team
Brown recorded eight receptions on 10 targets for 119 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 35-10 win over the Titans.
Analysis: Brown faced Tennessee for the first time since being traded during the first round of the 2022 NFL Draft. He made his former team pay, delivering touchdowns of 40 and 29 yards to account for the majority of his production. While this marked only his third game of the season surpassing 100 receiving yards, Brown continues to find the end zone at a tremendous clip. He now has nine touchdowns for the season, six of which have come in his last six games.

Mixed results in Week 12
Brown caught four of six targets for 46 yards and a touchdown Sunday, but he also lost a fumble in a 40-33 win over Green Bay.
Analysis: Brown converted a short catch for a score -- his seventh of the campaign -- to help offset an early turnover in an eventual shootout victory. Overall, it was a step in the right direction after the star wideout produced just 67 yards and no scores over his last two contests. Jalen Hurts and Miles Sanders did the heavy lifting against the Packers' porous rush defense (300 combined rushing yards), but Brown and the passing attack may need to flip that script against the Titans' far-superior…read more

Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni said that Brown (illness) will be back at practice Friday, Jeff McLane of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
Analysis: Brown missed Thursday's practice with an illness after avoiding the injury report entirely Wednesday, so it's encouraging to see him back on the field and handling reps, even if he ultimately does so in a limited fashion. The Eagles have yet to determine whether Brown will carry an injury designation into Sunday's contest against the Packers, but more information on that front will be revealed later Friday.

Brown was listed as a non-participant on Thursday's practice report due to an illness.
Analysis: After avoiding the report entirely Wednesday, Brown now is dealing with some sort of ailment. He'll have one more practice and two more days to get healthy enough to be cleared for Sunday's game against the Packers. If Brown is limited or out this weekend, DeVonta Smith would become the Eagles' No. 1 wide receiver by default, but he also was added to Thursday's report as limited by a knee injury. As a result, the situation will be one to watch as the week continues to get a sense of both…read more

Contained on the road
Brown caught five passes for 60 yards on seven targets against Indianapolis on Sunday.
Analysis: The Colts undeniably tried to roll their coverage toward Brown, and they had some measure of success containing the star receiver and reducing the Philadelphia passing game to more of a dink-and-dunk attack as opposed to its usual big-play profile. Brown's abilities make him almost matchup-proof as long as the Eagles can keep Jalen Hurts upright, so a bigger game against Green Bay in Week 12 is certainly within reach.

Avoids injury designation
Brown (ankle/rest) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Colts, Dave Zangaro of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.
Analysis: Brown reportedly rolled his ankle in the first half last week when he caught only one pass for seven yards in a loss to Washington, but he managed limited practices Wednesday and Thursday before upgrading to full participation Friday. Fellow wideout DeVonta Smith (knee) also avoided an injury designation and should be fine to handle his usual role Sunday against CB Stephon Gilmore and the Colts.

He told Dave Zangaro of NBC Sports Philadelphia on Wednesday that he expects to be OK and will be able to play Sunday at Indianapolis. Still, Brown's practice reps may be capped Thursday and Friday, after which the Eagles could hand him a designation for Week 11.

Rolls ankle, should be OK
Brown rolled his ankle during Monday's loss to Washington but expects to be fine for Sunday's game against the Colts, Dave Zangaro of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.
Analysis: The injury briefly forced him out of the Week 10 contest and helps explain his lack of production (one catch for seven yards on four targets), though the Commanders also get some credit for their recent improvement on defense. Brown reportedly had his ankle wrapped Wednesday but isn't worried about missing time apart from practice this week. He'll presumably be listed on Philadelphia's injury report.

Analysis: Brown scored each of Philadelphia's first three touchdowns, finding the end zone for 39, 27 and 29 yards. He narrowly missed another score early in the fourth quarter when he ripped off a 43-yard reception before being tackled at the three.

First down game of season
Brown caught three passes on seven targets for 32 yards against Arizona on Sunday.
Analysis: The Eagles offense fell short of expectations in this game against an Arizona defense that has struggled most of 2022, and Brown saw his production pinched as DeVonta Smith (10 catches for 87 yards on 11 targets) and Dallas Goedert (eight catches for 95 yards on nine targets) got the best cuts of the Philadelphia passing game Sunday.

Brown had a game-high 95 yards on five receptions (seven targets) in Sunday's 29-21 win over the Jaguars.
Analysis: Brown remains quarterback Jalen Hurts' favorite weapon early on, finishing with the team lead in targets for third time in four contests. The 25-year-old continues to thrive with his new club while playing alongside fellow star wideout DeVonta Smith. Brown is averaging a whipping 101.0 yards per game heading into a favorable matchup against Arizona's pass defense next Sunday.

First touchdown with new team
Brown caught five passes for 85 yards and one touchdown on 10 targets against Washington on Sunday.
Analysis: The touchdown was Brown's first with the Eagles, but the wideout's peripheral stats to this point and the production of the Eagles passing game in general give reason to believe many more scores are on the way. Through three games, Brown has 20 catches for 309 yards and the touchdown on 31 targets, healthy volume that is an improvement over what he saw during his Titans days. If Jalen Hurts keeps playing as well as he has, then Brown should continue to thrive with the elevated workload.

Brown was not targeted in Friday's 24-21 preseason loss to the Jets.
Analysis: Brown was on the field for the Eagles' first offensive drive with the first team, though he didn't make it on the stat sheet.

He's a threat at every level of the field, finding different ways to use his unusual strength and toughness to beat up on defensive backs.

Then, the team used its other to bolster the skill positions in a big way by securing one of the best young wide receivers in the league in Brown.

Brown isn't expected to participate in any on-field work during the Titans' offseason program, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports.
Analysis: The 2019 second-rounder, who is approaching the final year of his rookie deal with the team, is in line for a lucrative second NFL contract, especially considering some of the big payouts that fellow star wideouts have earned of late. With that in mind, ESPN's Turron Davenport relays that Brown doesn't plan to report for the start of the Titans' voluntary offseason program Monday. Though there's been some speculation that Tennessee might consider trading the 24-year-old, Dianna Russini of ESPN…read more

Talking extension with team
Brown and the Titans have engaged in preliminary extension in the early stages of the offseason, Jim Wyatt of Tennessee's official site reports.
Analysis: Brown is entering the final year of his rookie deal, and the Titans are seemingly eager to come to terms on a long-term deal to ensure he doesn't reach free agency. The wideout has served as a key in the passing offense since being selected in the second round of the 2019 NFL Draft, topping 50 receptions and 850 receiving yards in each of his three seasons. Durability has been just about the only knock on Brown, as he has dealt with chest, knee and hamstring issues in the past couple of years.…read more

Big performance in loss
Brown recorded five receptions on nine targets for 142 yards and a touchdown in Saturday's 19-16 divisional-round loss to the Bengals.
Analysis: Brown matched his counterpart Ja'Marr Chase with several explosive plays, highlighted by a one-handed 33-yard touchdown reception late in the third quarter. Prior to that, he also logged catches of 41 and 40 yards to account for the majority of his production. Though the campaign ends in disappointing fashion for the top-seeded team in the AFC, Brown recorded either a touchdown or topped 100 receiving yards in three of his last four games. His overall numbers fell in his third professional…read more

Helps lock in top seed
Brown recorded four receptions on six targets for 68 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 28-25 win over the Texans.
Analysis: Brown recorded a 14-yard touchdown -- with most of the yardage coming after the catch -- just before halftime to find the end zone for the fifth time this season. He also posted lengthy receptions of 24 and 16 yards to account for the majority of his production on the day. Brown had a disappointing season that was interrupted by chest and hamstring injuries, though he'll now head into the postseason having scored in two of his final three contests.

Quiet against Dolphins
Brown recorded two receptions for 41 yards on five targets in Sunday's 34-3 win over the Dolphins.
Analysis: Brown's primary problem was a lack of volume, as the Titans jumped out to an early lead, leaving Ryan Tannehill to attempt only 18 passes. However, Brown converted less than half of his targets into catches, and he was held to 50 or fewer yards for the seventh time in 12 games on the campaign. Brown and the Titans could be in for a similar game script in Week 18 with a matchup against the Texans.

Cleared for Week 17
Brown (calf) doesn't carry an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Dolphins after practicing fully Friday, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
Analysis: Brown is thus good to go and on track to see plenty of targets Week 17, regardless of whether fellow wideout Julio Jones (illness) comes off the reserve/COVID-19 list. In the Titans' Week 16 win over the 49ers, Brown racked up 11 receptions for 145 yards and a touchdown on a season-high 16 targets.

Added to injury report
Brown (calf) didn't practice Thursday, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
Analysis: Brown practiced fully Wednesday, but his absence from Thursday's session makes his status for Sunday's game against the Dolphins worth monitoring closely. The Titans can ill-afford to be without Brown this weekend, especially considering that fellow wideouts Julio Jones and Nick Westbrook-Ikhine currently are on the reserve/COVID-19 list.

Energizes Tennessee's comeback
Brown tallied 11 receptions on 16 targets for 145 yards and a touchdown in Thursday's 20-17 win over San Francisco.
Analysis: Brown was activated from injured reserve ahead of the game Thursday, and he took the field for the first time since Week 11. He was involved in the offense throughout the contest, though he had recorded only five receptions for 24 yards through the first two quarters. However, he inspired an impressive Titans' comeback in the second half, highlighted by a 42-yard reception late in the third quarter and subsequently an 18-yard touchdown catch to cap the same drive. All told, it was Brown's…read more

Activated from IR
Tennessee activated Brown (chest) from injured reserve ahead of Thursday's game against the 49ers, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
Analysis: Brown will put an end to a three-game absence as he suits up for the first time Thursday since Week 11. Meanwhile, Julio Jones (hamstring) is free of a Week 16 injury designation, meaning that the Titans -- who head into the contest with a depleted offensive line -- will at least have their top two wideouts available. The presence of Brown and Jones bolsters the offense as a whole, as well as the fantasy prospects of quarterback Ryan Tannehill.

On track to play Thursday
The Titans plan to activate Brown (chest) from IR in advance of Thursday night's game against the 49ers, Nick Shook of NFL.com reports.
Analysis: Brown, who last suited up Week 11, didn't experience any setbacks at practice this week and thus is in line to be officially activated later Thursday, setting the stage for him to play versus San Francisco. With teammate Julio Jones free of a Week 16 injury designation, the Titans are poised to have their top two wideouts available, which should provide the team's offense with a big lift down the stretch.

Trending toward playing Thursday
Tennessee is expected to reinstate Brown (chest) from injured reserve ahead of Thursday's game against the 49ers, barring any setbacks in practice Wednesday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Sidelined since suffering a chest injury Week 11, Brown was designated to return from IR on Monday, with the move opening up a 21-day window for the Titans to evaluate him in practice. Based on how Brown has checked out during his first two walk-through sessions, the Titans aren't expected to need the full window to assess his health, and the 24-year-old wideout looks like he may even be ready to play on a short week.

Brown (chest) is taking part in Tuesday's walk-through practice session and will have a chance to play in Thursday's game against the 49ers, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
Analysis: While Brown remains on injured reserve, he's gearing up for a potential Week 16 appearance after the Titans cleared him to practice Monday, opening up a 21-day window for the team to evaluate him for activation. Until he's formally added back to the 53-man roster, Brown won't appear on the Titans' practice reports, making it difficult to get a sense of where he stands in his recovery from the chest injury that kept him out of the team's last three games.

Tennessee designated Brown (chest) for return from injured reserve Monday, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
Analysis: The transaction opens up a 21-day window for Brown to be evaluated in practice and makes the wideout eligible to rejoin the 53-man roster as soon as the Titans' Week 16 game against the 49ers on Thursday. If Brown shows enough progress in his recovery from the chest injury during practice this week to put an end to his three-game absence, he immediately should step back in as Tennessee's No. 1 pass catcher.

Brown (chest) was placed on injured reserve Saturday.
Analysis: Brown was already ruled out for Sunday's matchup with the Patriots, and he'll now be sidelined for at least two additional games with the chest injury. The Titans have their bye Week 13, so the 24-year-old will have an extra week to recover before being eligible to return Dec. 23 against San Francisco.

Analysis: With Brown unavailable and Julio Jones and Marcus Johnson both on IR with hamstring injuries, Nick Westbrook-Ikhine, Chester Rogers and Dez Fitzpatrick are in line to head the Titans' Week 12 wideout corps. Brown thus will target a potential return to action after the team's bye week, when Tennessee hosts Jacksonville on Sunday, Dec. 12.

Not seen on field Friday
Brown (chest) wasn't spotted at the open portion of Friday's practice, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
Analysis: If he officially has a DNP next to his name Friday, Brown likely will head into the weekend with at least a questionable tag for Sunday's game at New England. In a receiving corps that already is down Julio Jones (IR/hamstring) and Marcus Johnson (IR/hamstring), the Titans have just Chester Rogers, Nick Westbrook-Ikhine and Dez Fitzpatrick as healthy wide receivers on the active roster.

Analysis: With Brown -- who left this past Sunday's game with a chest injury and did not return -- now having logged back-to-back 'DNP' listings, what the wideout is able to do at practice Friday will be telling with regard to his chances of suiting up Sunday against the Patriots. Given that Julio Jones and Marcus Johnson are both on IR with hamstring injuries, Nick Westbrook-Ikhine, Chester Rogers and Dez Fitzpatrick currently profile as the Titans' top healthy wide receiver options.

Analysis: The wideout was forced out of this past weekend's loss to the Texans due to a chest injury, and he checked out of the contest at one point earlier due to a hand issue. With Brown not participating in Wednesday's practice, his status will need to be monitored closely as Sunday's game against the Patriots approaches.

Analysis: Brown was forced out of Sunday's 22-13 loss to the Texans due to a chest injury, and while he still has to undergo further medical evaluation, early test results have at least been promising. He also suffered a hand injury earlier in the contest. The Titans are set for a Week 12 matchup against New England, so Brown's status will warrant close monitoring in the coming days.

Analysis: Brown attempted to play through the issue on the Titans' first possession but eventually visited the locker room. He returned to the sideline, but after sitting on bench, he went to the blue medical tent. It appears Brown and the Titans are doing everything possible to make sure the third-year pro is available, but if he's unable to return, he'll finish Week 11 with no catches on one target.

His lone contribution to the victory came late in the second quarter on a trick play that began with a direct snap to Adrian Peterson that resulted in a 16-yard catch for Brown. Making Brown's performance even more surprising was the fact that Marshon Lattimore did not travel with him for much of the game, as reported by Turron Davenport of ESPN.com.

Analysis: After being limited Wednesday, Brown returned to a full session Thursday, which sets the stage for him to be available for Sunday's game against the Saints. The wideout has been targeted 11 times in both of his last two outings, and barring any injury setbacks he's in line to remain a high-volume option in a Tennessee offense no longer paced by star running back Derrick Henry, who is currently on IR with a foot injury.

Analysis: Brown, who missed practice this past Friday and was listed as questionable heading into the Titans' Week 9 game against the Rams, proceeded to suit up in the victory and finished with five receptions for 42 yards on 11 targets. With no reported setbacks in the contest, Brown's limitations in practice Wednesday were likely maintenance-related.

Brown (knee) had five receptions (11 targets) for 42 yards in Sunday's 28-16 win over the Rams.
Analysis: Brown's stat line looks poor on paper, but the wideout had to deal with shutdown corner Jalen Ramsey while dealing with a minor knee injury, and he still led the Titans in targets and receiving yardage. Tennessee didn't have to pass much in what turned out to be a lopsided contest spearheaded by a dominant defensive performance, so an unfavorable game script is also to blame.

Brown caught an impressive 10 of 11 targets for 155 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 34-31 overtime win over the Colts.

Brown was listed as a limited participant in Wednesday's practice for non-injury reasons, Turron Davenport of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: The Titans have managed Brown's practice reps all season, though it's usually been attributed to a knee issue rather than just "rest." The new designation could be taken as a minor sign of progress, especially after Brown dealt with an illness last week on top of the lingering issues with his knees. He looked healthy while roasting the Chiefs for 133 yards and a touchdown in the Week 7 win, and he'll now take aim at the division-rival Colts on Sunday.

Brown recorded eight receptions on nine targets for 133 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 27-3 win over Kansas City.
Analysis: Brown's effort included his highest marks in both receptions and receiving yards on the season. He torched the Chiefs' secondary for a few big gains, highlighted by two 24-yard receptions. The first of those catches went for a touchdown, accounting for his first trip to the end zone since Week 1. After failing to top 50 yards in any of the first four games while also dealing with a hamstring injury, Brown has since combined to record 224 yards and a touchdown across his last two contests.

Analysis: Brown was added to the Titans' injury report Sunday as questionable for Week 6 with an illness. It won't be enough to keep him off the field, though, as he makes his fifth appearance in six games this season. Brown has only mustered a 10-130-1 receiving line on 25 targets this season, and he may have a tough time producing Monday versus a Buffalo defense that has surrendered a league-low 5.1 yards per target to wide receivers this season.

Inefficient with six targets
Brown (hamstring) caught three of six targets for 38 yards against Jacksonville on Sunday.
Analysis: The six targets were encouraging as Brown returned from the hamstring injury that kept him out in Week 4, especially given that Ryan Tannehill attempted only 21 targeted passes, but the output was a bit disappointing in a game during which Tennessee scored 37 points. Derrick Henry did almost all of the necessary lifting for Tennessee, producing 130 yards and three touchdowns on the ground, so there wasn't much slack for Brown to pick up anyway.

Analysis: After logging a limited session Wednesday, Brown participated fully in Thursday's practice, which presumably puts him on track to play Sunday against the Jaguars, barring any setbacks. Friday's injury report will reveal whether Brown heads into the weekend with an injury designation, but at this stage his Week 5 status looks more promising that that of fellow wideouts Julio Jones (hamstring) -- who didn't practice Thursday -- and Nick Westbook-Ikhine (hamstring), who was limited.

Returns to limited session
Brown (hamstring) logged a limited practice Wednesday, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
Analysis: Brown, who didn't play in Week 4 against the Jets, seems to be headed in the right direction as Sunday's game against the Jaguars approaches. Meanwhile fellow wideouts Julio Jones (hamstring) and Nick Westbook-Ikhine (hamstring) were unable to practice Wednesday. In order for Brown to avoid taking an injury designation into Sunday, he'll presumably need to log at least one full practice by the end of the week.

Practicing Wednesday
Brown (hamstring) participated in practice Wednesday, John Glennon of BroadwaySportsMedia.com reports.
Analysis: The Titans won't reveal until later Wednesday whether Brown was a full or limited participant, but the wideout's presence on the field bodes well for his Week 5 status. Fellow wideout Julio Jones (hamstring) was missing from the Titans' first session of the week, so Brown -- if available -- could be in store for a larger share of targets than normal if Jones is sidelined for Sunday's game in Jacksonville.

Brown (hamstring) and Julio Jones (hamstring) have been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Jets, Paul Kuharsky of PaulKuharsky.com reports.
Analysis: Both were held out of practice all week after suffering hamstring injuries in last week's win over Indianapolis. The Titans have Chester Rogers, Nick Westbrook-Ikhine, Josh Reynolds, Cameron Batson and Racey McMath as their wide receivers on the active roster, while Marcus Johnson (undisclosed) could be activated from IR over the weekend. The Titans still do have Derrick Henry in the backfield, and TE Anthony Firkser is back in the lineup after missing two games with a knee injury. Their star…read more

Not practicing Friday
Brown (hamstring) wasn't spotted at Friday's practice, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
Analysis: Fellow starting wideout Julio Jones (hamstring) also wasn't out there for the start of Friday's practice, and it looks like the Titans may be without both players Sunday against the Jets. Tennessee's final Week 4 injury report will reveal whether Brown and/or Jones head into the weekend with any shot to play. Next up for WR opportunities should the duo be ruled out are Nick Westbrook-Ikhine, Chester Rogers, Josh Reynolds and perhaps Marcus Johnson (undisclosed), if he's activated from IR.

Misses another practice
Brown (hamstring) remained sidelined at practice Thursday, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
Analysis: The same applies to fellow starting wideout Julio Jones (hamstring), which sets the stage for Friday's practice to be pivotal with regard to the duo's chances of suiting up Sunday against the Jets. If one or both players are out this weekend, added Week 4 opportunities would be available for the likes of Nick Westbrook-Ikhine, Chester Rogers, Josh Reynolds and perhaps Marcus Johnson (undisclosed), if he's activated from IR.

Misses practice to start week
Brown (hamstring) and Julio Jones (leg) both missed practice Wednesday, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
Analysis: Brown left Sunday's win over the Colts in the first half, while Jones hurt his leg but still managed to play six snaps after halftime. They'll have two more chances to practice before this weekend's game against the Jets, though Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports that Brown "may miss a week or two."

Labeled week-to-week
Brown (hamstring) is considered week-to-week, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Analysis: Brown looks like a long shot to suit up against the Jets on Sunday after exiting early in Tennessee's Week 3 win over the Colts, though a clearer picture of his status should emerge once the Titans resume practicing Wednesday. The team likely will take it easy with the third-year wideout this week considering Tennessee has more than enough other weapons to deal with a Jets team that has been outscored, 51-6, over its last two games.

All systems go Thursday
Brown (knee) returned to full participation in practice Thursday, John Glennon of Broadway Sports Media reports.
Analysis: It's not uncommon for Brown to be limited or even sit out entirely early in the week, so his limited session Wednesday wasn't much cause for concern, and his return Thursday can put any worries over his health to rest. Brown has gotten off to a drop-plagued start, but he's still getting plenty of attention from quarterback Ryan Tannehill despite the offseason addition of fellow high-profile wide receiver Julio Jones, so it's likely only a matter of time before Tennessee's 2019 second-round pick…read more

Limited in Wednesday's practice
Brown (knees) was a limited practice participant Wednesday, Turron Davenport of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Brown was a limited participant last week before upgrading to full activity Thursday and Friday. Even if he doesn't follow the exact same routine this week, he should be fine for Sunday's matchup with the Colts. The 24-year-old wideout has caught only seven passes for 92 yards and a touchdown through two games, but he's more or less seeing his normal workload in terms of snap share (83 percent) and target share (22.7 percent share).

Does little with nine targets
Brown recorded three receptions on nine targets for 43 yards in Sunday's Week 2 win over the Seahawks.
Analysis: Brown led the the team with nine targets but was out-produced by Julio Jones by 85 yards. He was particularly inefficient on passes deep down the field, including an uncharacteristic drop after he beat his defender on a double move. Instead, most of Brown's yardage came on short passes that required him to do the majority of his work after the catch. Brown will look to turn the page on this disappointing performance, and his targets indicate that there should be no concern regarding his role in…read more

Practices fully
Brown (knee) returned to a full practice Thursday, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
Analysis: Brown was limited at practice Wednesday, but that was likely a case of the wideout's reps being managed, given that he's bouncing back from offseason knee procedures. In Week 1, Brown logged 52 of a possible 64 snaps on on offense in Tennessee's 38-13 loss to Arizona, en route to catching four of his eight targets for 49 yards and a TD. Barring any setbacks, he's on track for steady snaps and targets on a weekly basis in his starting WR role opposite Julio Jones.

Scores despite struggles
Brown caught four receptions for 49 yards and one touchdown on eight targets against Arizona on Sunday.
Analysis: Arizona's cornerback personnel is dubious at best and the Titans should have capitalized in the home matchup, but the entire Tennessee offense managed to fall apart. It certainly didn't help that quarterback Ryan Tannehill was subjected to five sacks from the Cardinals' Chandler Jones, but it's still puzzling that the Titans didn't get Brown more than eight targets and fellow wideout Julio Jones with Tennessee falling behind early.

Analysis: After missing Wednesday's session, Brown worked fully Thursday and reportedly looked good during individual drills in the process. The 24-year-old thus is slated to start opposite newcomer Julio Jones in Sunday's season opener against the Cardinals. The duo is expected to form a strong one-two punch at wideout for the Titans in 2021, while undisputed top back Derrick Henry fuels the team's rushing attack.

Brown (knee) didn't play in Saturday's preseason defeat to the Bears, according to Paul Kuharsky of PaulKuharsky.com.
Analysis: Brown kicked off the offseason with surgery on both of his knees, which sidelined him from OTAs and mandatory minicamp. He was reported to be 100 percent at the start of training camp, but a knee issue flared up in mid-August, leading to sporadic showings at practice and no exhibition action whatsoever.

Analysis: The wideout reportedly looked dominant early in training camp, rebounding strong after undergoing surgeries on both knees in the offseason. He then missed practice with an undisclosed injury last week, and while it doesn't sound too serious, fantasy managers aren't wrong to be concerned about another issue with Brown's knees.

Analysis: Per coach Mike Vrabel, the Titans are adjusting their schedule this week to resemble the one used during the regular season, likely as a means of preparation before Week 1.

Brown caught 70 of 106 targets for 1,075 yards and 11 touchdowns in 14 games in 2020 while playing through the knee injuries for most of the season, and he could receive a bit less defensive attention this year thanks to the offseason addition of Julio Jones.

Analysis: Brown had surgery on both knees in January and has thus far mostly been limited to rehab work and cardio. It sounds like he could be ready for training camp, where he'll team up with Ryan Tannehill, Derrick Henry and recent addition Julio Jones in a star-studded Tennessee offense. With WR Corey Davis and TE Jonnu Smith both departing this offseason, the Titans presumably expect Brown and Jones to handle a huge share of the targets and receiving production.

Brown recorded six receptions on 10 targets for 83 yards and a touchdown in the Titans' wild-card loss to the Ravens.
Analysis: Brown was one of the few bright spots for the Titans' offense, as he converted their only touchdown of the contest on a 10-yard reception. He also chipped in explosive plays that came from both deep passes and yards after the catch, recording gains of 29, 18 and 14 yards. Brown solidified himself as one of the better young receivers in the league in 2020 and should be prepared to take another step forward during the 2021 campaign, particularly if fellow wideout Corey Davis signs elsewhere.

His limitations to begin the current week suggest that Brown is banged up coming out of the regular-season finale, but at this stage, the receiver isn't believed to be in danger of missing Sunday's wild-card game against the Ravens.

Analysis: Brown has been managing an ankle issue of late, so if he's listed with that injury when Tennessee releases its first practice report later Wednesday, fantasy managers won't have much reason to worry about his status for Sunday's game against the Packers. The wideout played 84 percent of the Titans' offensive snaps in last week's win over the Lions, supplying five receptions for 44 yards and a touchdown on six targets.

Hits double-digit touchdowns
Brown recorded five receptions on six targets for 44 yards and a touchdown in Week 15 against the Lions.
Analysis: The wideout tied for the team lead with five receptions, though Ryan Tannehill continued to spread targets around to several different pass-catchers. Brown was unable to deliver his typical splash plays, as his longest catch of the day went for only 14 yards. Despite the down performance, Brown did manage to salvage the outing with a two-yard touchdown reception in the final quarter. Brown will likely be needed for more volume in Week 16 when the Titans attempt to keep pace with the Packers.

Good to go this week
Brown (ankle) doesn't carry an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Lions after practicing fully Friday,Terry McCormick of TitanInsider.com reports.
Analysis: Brown has been managing an ankle issue of late, but he continues to play at a high level on game days, with the wideout most recently providing seven receptions for 112 yards and a touchdown in his most recent outing Week 14 versus the Jaguars. In an offense driven by running back Derrick Henry, Brown maintains a stable weekly fantasy floor, given that he and Corey Davis are the team's clear-cut top targets.

Not at practice Thursday
Brown (ankle) wasn't spotted at practice Thursday, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
Analysis: Though Brown was listed as limited Wednesday, his downgrade in participation follows a recent pattern of the wideout being rested on Thursdays. Barring an unforeseen setback, we'd expect Brown back at practice Friday and quite possibly off the team's injury report by the end of the day.

Limited by ankle injury
Brown (ankle) was a limited participant in practice Wednesday, Turron Davenport of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Brown missed the first two practices of Week 14 after suffering a non-contact ankle injury in Week 13, but he ultimately suited up in Sunday's win over Jaguars and turned in 112 receiving yards and a touchdown. The explosive receiver appeared to grab his ankle at one point in the contest after being tackled, but Brown was able to shake off the pain and remain in the game. Considering that he's already ahead of schedule compared to last week's practice participation, Brown should be good to go…read more

Tops 100 yards
Brown recorded seven receptions on nine targets for 112 yards and a touchdown in Week 14 against the Jaguars.
Analysis: After a few errors in Week 13, Brown was a key contributor in the Titans' blowout victory against the Jaguars. His first reception went for a 37-yard, leaping one-handed touchdown midway through the second quarter. Though passing attempts were limited due to game script, Brown added two receptions of 17 yards to top 100 yards for the third time this season. Brown will draw a Week 15 matchup against the Lions, who are currently dealing with a depleted secondary.

Brown (ankle) doesn't carry a Week 14 injury designation after practicing fully Friday, Turron Davenport of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Back-to-back absences from practice put the focus on Brown's Friday participation, but his return to a full session paves the way for him to remain in the starting lineup Sunday against the Jaguars. While he has yet to log double-digit targets in a game this season, Brown's fantasy floor remains stable, as he's caught four passes in five of his last six outings, while scoring four TDs in that span.

Brown (ankle) missed practice for the second consecutive day Thursday, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
Analysis: Back-to-back absences from practice set the stage for Friday to be pivotal with regard to Brown's chances of suiting up Sunday against the Jaguars.

Managing ankle injury
Brown didn't practice Wednesday due to an ankle injury, Terry McCormick of TitanInsider.com reports.
Analysis: Brown spent time on the sideline during Sunday's loss to the Browns after slipping during a route in the second quarter. Though he was able to return to the field, the injury initially looked worrisome. That said, missed practices have been fairly routine for Brown of late without influencing his availability on game days, so fantasy managers shouldn't yet worry too much about him potentially sitting out a Week 14 matchup with the Jaguars.

Not spotted Wednesday
Brown wasn't present at the portion of Wednesday's practice open to the media, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
Analysis: Missed practices haven't been out of the ordinary for Brown lately, but given that he appeared to pick up an injury during last weekend's loss to the Browns when after slipping while running a route in the second quarter, his status is worth keeping an eye on.Corey Davis exploded with 11 catches for 182 yards and a score versus Cleveland, so the Titans at least have another high-quality target to lean on if Brown is banged up heading into Sunday's game in Jacksonville.

Struggles with drops and fumbles
Brown recorded four receptions on seven targets for 87 yards in Week 13 against the Browns.
Analysis: Brown's final stat line wasn't disastrous, though he missed out on a bigger line with a number of drops and fumbles throughout the contest. His biggest miscue came in the third quarter when he was stripped just short of the goal line, narrowly missing out on his ninth touchdown of the season. Even given the errors, Brown still showcased his big-play ability, racking up receptions of 40 and 18 yards while also managing 12.4 yards per target.

Cleared to play
Brown (hip) practiced fully Friday and is "good to go" for Sunday's game against the Browns, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
Analysis: Brown sat out Thursday's practice, but the wideout's full participation Friday led to him heading into the weekend minus an injury designation. Through nine games to date, Brown has caught 40 of his 65 targets for 638 yards and eight TDs. The 2019 second-rounder has yet to log double-digit target volume in any games this season, but the fact that he's scored in all but two of the contests he's suited up for gives him a stable fantasy floor in his starting role with the Titans.

Delivers long touchdown
Brown recorded four receptions on six targets for 98 yards and a touchdown in Week 12 against the Colts.
Analysis: The Titans didn't need to take to the air regularly as they maintained a significant lead throughout the entire second half. However, Brown did his damage early on, ripping off a 69-yard touchdown reception in the first quarter -- over 50 of which came after the catch. He also displayed his athleticism late in the game when he fielded an onside kick and returned it for a game-clinching trip to the end zone. Despite having yet to command double-digit targets in any game, Brown has now scored in…read more

Analysis: Brown has occasionally missed practice time in recent weeks while managing the knee injury that sidelined him for two games earlier this season, but he's been able to play in each of the Titans' last seven contests. He logged 57 of the Titans' 70 offensive snaps in the team's Week 11 win over the Ravens, catching four of seven targets for 62 yards and a touchdown. His absence from practice Wednesday isn't necessarily a red flag with regard to his availability for Sunday's game against the Colts.

His most vital reception of the day came on a 14-yard touchdown with just over two minutes remaining in the contest, when he fought his way into the end zone with several Ravens players latched onto him.

Brown (knee) was listed as a non-participant on Monday's practice estimate.
Analysis: Brown has been contending with a bone bruise in his knee for the better part of the past two months, but he's still played in each of the Titans' last five games, earning at least 82 percent of the offensive snaps in four of the them (and 71 percent in the other one). He's been a TD monster during that stretch en route to a 26-418-6 line on 40 targets. He'll look to ditch his injury designation prior to Thursday's game against the Colts.

Analysis: Brown, who shrugged off a minor knee injury during the week, finished second on the team in targets but failed to strike for any plays longer than 10 yards. He did salvage his day from a fantasy perspective with a nine-yard touchdown grab, giving him touchdowns in four straight games and five overall in that span.

Brown caught five of seven targets for 56 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 42-36 overtime win over Houston.
Analysis: Brown has three touchdowns in two games since returning from a two-game absence due to a knee injury. His first touchdown was a six-yarder in the first quarter, while Brown's seven-yard score with four seconds to go forced overtime. As the No. 1 wide receiver in a high-powered Titans offense that's averaging 32.8 points per game, Brown should maintain plenty of fantasy appeal in Week 7 despite a tricky matchup against the Steelers.

Brown's absence can therefore be chalked up to rep management. In his return to action Week 5 after missing two games, Brown was on the field for 47 of a possible 66 snaps on offense, while hauling in seven of his nine targets for 82 yards and a TD. He'll remain a primary target for QB Ryan Tannehill once again this weekend against 1-4 Houston.

Brown (knee) was listed as a limited participant on Wednesday's estimated practice report, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
Analysis: With Corey Davis and Adam Humphries on the Titans' reserve/COVID-19 list, Kalif Raymond and Nick Westbrook-Ikhine are the other wide receivers on the team's active roster in addition to Brown, who last suited up Week 1. The Titans, whose Week 4 game against the Steelers was postponed, are currently scheduled to face the Bills on Sunday at 1 p.m. ET.

May return to practice Wednesday
Coach Mike Vrabel said there's "a chance" Brown (knee) is cleared to practice Wednesday if the Titans hold a session, John Glennon of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: The Titans haven't been cleared to reenter their facilities due to COVID-19 protocols and a number of positive tests among players and staff. Brown himself hasn't suited up since Week 1, the result of a bone bruise in his knee. Whenever Tennessee is able to practice next, we'll have a better sense of his potential to return to action, which may come as soon as Wednesday.

On track for Week 5
Brown (knee) is expected to be ready to play in the Titans' next game Week 5 versus the Bills on Oct. 11, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Rapoport notes that Brown -- who had missed the last two games with a bone bruise in his knee -- had a shot at being ready to play this weekend versus the Steelers, but that became a moot point after the NFL postponed the Tennessee-Pittsburgh game to a later date following a COVID-19 outbreak among Titans players and staff. As a result, Tennessee will essentially have a bye Week 4, giving Brown more time to move past the injury. Assuming he's ready to get back on the field if the NFL allows the…read more

Could be out beyond Week 3
Brown, who is listed as out for Sunday's game against the Vikings, continues to nurse a "pretty significant" bone bruise in his knee and hasn't responded as well or as quickly to treatment as the Titans had hoped, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Analysis: The injury will keep Brown sidelined for a second straight game Week 3, and given his slow recovery process to date, the wideout looks to be at real risk of missing additional time. Titans quarterback Ryan Tannehill wasn't too troubled without Brown available in the Week 2 win over the Jaguars (18-for-24 for 239 yards and four touchdowns), with Corey Davis, Adam Humphries and Jonnu Smith taking on most of the targets for Tennessee. Tannehill may find similar success sans Brown in a Week 3…read more

Won't suit up Week 3
Brown (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game in Minnesota, Turron Davenport of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: After missing yet another week of practice, Brown won't be available for a second consecutive game day due to a bone bruise in his knee. Look for Corey Davis and Adam Humphries to lead the Titans' receiving corps again, with Kalif Raymond filling in on occasion.

Misses another practice Thursday
Brown (knee) missed practice again Thursday, Erik Bacharach of The Tennessean reports.
Analysis: Back-to-back missed practices for Brown, who's dealing with a bone bruise in his knee, don't bode well for his status for Sunday's game against the Vikings. If the Titans' top wideout is out this weekend, Corey Davis and Adam Humphries would be in line to head the team's Week 3 wide receiver corps, with Cameron Batson and Kalif Raymond candidates to see added snaps.

Misses practice Wednesday
Brown (knee) didn't practice Wednesday, Erik Bacharach of The Tennessean reports.
Analysis: Brown, who's dealing with a bone bruise in his knee, sat out the Titans' Week 2 win over the Jaguars, and it's unclear if he'll be back in time to suit up this weekend against the Vikings. In Brown's absence last weekend, Corey Davis and Adam Humphries headed the Titans' wide receiver corps, while Cameron Batson and Kalif Raymond saw added work at the position.

Won't play Sunday
Coach Mike Vrabel relayed Friday that Brown (knee) is out for Sunday's game against the Jaguars, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
Analysis: A bone bruise in his knee is the reason Brown will sit out Week 2 action, and possibly more. In his absence, Corey Davis (hamstring) -- health permitting -- and Adam Humphries will head the team's wide receiver corps Sunday, with Kalif Raymond and Nick Westbrook-Ikhine also in the mix for snaps.

Absent from early part of practice
Brown (knee) wasn't spotted during the early portion of Friday's practice, Erik Bacharach of The Tennessean reports.
Analysis: A bone bruise in his knee has Brown looking iffy for Sunday's game against the Jaguars, and he could be ruled out for Week 2 action as soon as Friday afternoon. If he's inactive or limited this weekend, added targets would be available for both Corey Davis (hamstring) and Adam Humphries, with Kalif Raymond and Nick Westbrook-Ikhine also in the mix.

Dealing with bone bruise
A bone bruise in his knee is "jeopardizing (Brown's) availability for Sunday's game against the Jaguars and possibly beyond," according to Adam Schefter of ESPN.
Analysis: Per Schefter, Brown, who didn't practice Thursday, is likely to be week-to-week with the issue. If the wideout is indeed forced to miss time, added looks in the Titans' passing game would be available for the likes of Corey Davis (hamstring) and Adam Humphries.

No practice Thursday
Brown (knee) didn't participate in Thursday's practice, Terry McCormick of TitanInsider.com reports.
Analysis: The knee issue rendered Brown a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, so it's somewhat concerning to see the second-year wideout take a step backward with regard to his activity a day later. He'll have another chance to get back on the field Friday, but if he fails to put in a full workout, Brown will likely carry a designation into Sunday's game against Jacksonville. Corey Davis (hamstring) was a limited participant in Thursday's session, so both of the Titans' top receivers are banged…read more

Limited with knee injury
Brown (knee) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
Analysis: Brown appears to have picked up a knee injury during Monday's win over the Broncos, during which he was held to 39 receiving yards while taking a backseat in the passing game to fellow wideout Corey Davis. With Davis not practicing to begin the week due to a hamstring injury, Brown could end up in position to draw increased targets Sunday against Jacksonville's inexperienced secondary, assuming he can move past his own knee issue.

Not spotted Wednesday
Brown wasn't on the field for the early portion of Wednesday's practice, Terry McCormick of TitanInsider.com reports.
Analysis: The Titans' first practice report of the week will be released later Wednesday, at which point the exact extent of Brown's participation will be revealed. Given that the wideout is just two days removed from Monday's win over the Broncos, he could simply be receiving a rest day.

Plays second fiddle in MNF opener
Brown hauled in five of eight targets for 39 receiving yards during Monday's 16-14 win against the Broncos.
Analysis: Monday night's performance was a severe dropoff from Brown's average fantasy output over the latter stages of 2019, as he averaged 100.9 receiving yards per game with five total touchdowns Weeks 12 through 17 of last year. Against Denver, it was instead Corey Davis who enjoyed the bulk of the wide receiver production with 101 yards on seven catches, while Adam Humphries pitched in with six catches and 47 yards of his own. Brown doesn't exactly need double-digit targets to be fantasy relevant,…read more

Avoids Week 1 injury report
The Titans don't list Brown (undisclosed) on the initial Week 1 injury report the team released Thursday, Turron Davenport of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Tennessee had been managing Brown's reps as recently as last week after he suffered what was believed to be a minor injury in an Aug. 28 session, but his absence from this week's injury report confirms that he's moved past the issue. After averaging an impressive 12.5 yards on 84 targets as a rookie, Brown may struggle to maintain that level of efficiency in 2020, but he should be able to make up for any downturn by taking on more overall volume in the Tennessee passing game. That said, a…read more

Fits in stretching Tuesday
Brown (undisclosed) took part in stretching prior to Tuesday's practice, Turron Davenport of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Brown departed Friday's session early, sitting out Sunday and Monday as a result. The nature of the injury remains unknown, but the second-year receiver at least is taking the first step to getting back on the field. Once healthy, Brown will serve as the No. 1 WR in the Titans' expected run-heavy scheme.

Misses practice Sunday
Brown (undisclosed) isn't practicing Sunday, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
Analysis: Brown was removed from Friday's practice with what appeared to be a minor injury. His absence will be a concern if it stretches beyond a few days longer, but there hasn't yet been any suggestion he's in danger of missing Week 1 at Denver. Brown will even have an extra day to get back to full strength, as the Titans and Broncos will be the last two teams to square off in the opening week of the season (10:10 p.m. ET on Monday, Sept. 14).

Exits practice early
Brown (undisclosed) didn't finish Friday's practice, but appeared to be okay as he left the field, according to Terry McCormick of TitanInsider.com.
Analysis: Though Brown's issue doesn't appear to be anything too concerning, his status will nonetheless be worth monitoring in the coming days. The 2019 second-rounder is slated to serve as the Titans' top wideout this season, on the heels of recording a 52/1,051/8 stat line as a rookie.

Focused on improving routes
Brown's top priorities this offseason were remaining well conditioned and running more consistent routes, Turron Davenport of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Brown noted that he wanted to make all of his routes look the same so that he didn't tip the play type. He specifically noted that he was working on maintaining his pad level on his routes, potentially a flaw he noticed in offseason film study. It's positive that Brown is actively seeking out ways to improve on an incredibly efficient rookie season, as he's likely to have coverage rolled his way more often as the team's top receiver entering the 2020 campaign.

Tallies 51 yards in loss
Brown hauled in three of his six targets for 51 yards in Sunday's 35-24 loss to the Chiefs in the AFC Championship Game.
Analysis: Brown made an immediate splash, hauling in a 37-yard reception on the second play of the game. However, he was held quiet for the remainder of the contest, concluding his underwhelming postseason. Setting his playoff performance aside, Brown proved to be a dynamic receiver in his rookie campaign and quickly surpassed Corey Davis as the team's top target. He'll look to build on his strong production in his second season as a pro.

Quiet in win
Brown hauled in his long target for four yards in the team's playoff win over the Patriots on Saturday.
Analysis: Brown had topped 100 receiving yards in four of his last six contests, but failed to make much impact in the team's playoff win. However, he also wasn't given much opportunity as the team attempted just 15 passes in the contest, limiting the volume for all pass catchers. The Titans will likely need to throw more in a tough matchup against Baltimore in the divisional round of the playoffs, though the Ravens have proven to be a stingy defense throughout the second half of the season.

Tops 100 yards and finds end zone
Brown hauled in four of his eight targets for 124 yards and a touchdown in the team's Week 17 win over the Texans.
Analysis: Brown recorded his fourth 100-yard receiving effort in his past six games, launching him past 1,000 yards in his rookie campaign. His impressive late-season surge was highlighted by a number of big plays, and he delivered again in Week 17 by finding the end zone on a 51-yard catch and run early in the first quarter.

Does damage on ground
Brown recorded one reception on two targets for 34 yards in the team's Week 16 loss to the Saints. However, he also added one rush for 49 yards and a touchdown.
Analysis: Brown was held in check for the majority of the game by standout cornerback Marshon Lattimore, though he still managed to showcase his big-play ability. Brown found the end zone on the team's second possession after he received a pitch out of the backfield and sliced through the middle of the Saints defense for a 49-yard score. His only other impact in the game came just before the two minute warning in the final quarter, when he made a bobbling 34-yard catch down the left sideline. Though his…read more

Erupts again Week 15
Brown hauled in eight of 13 targets for 114 yards and a touchdown during Sunday's 24-21 loss to the Texans.
Analysis: The Ole Miss product is steadily evolving into an Offensive Rookie of the Year candidate as the season wears on, as he now has seven receiving scores and sits just 107 yards short of the 1,000-yard mark. Brown has been seemingly unstoppable over the past month, specifically, racking up an incredible 111.8 receiving yards per game with four total scores since the Titans' Week 11 bye. He remains a promising fantasy play Week 16, taking on a Saints defense that comes into Monday Night Football as…read more

Explodes for two scores
Brown hauled in five of his seven targets for 153 yards and two touchdowns in the Titans' Week 14 win over the Raiders. He also had one carry for 13 yards.
Analysis: Brown exploded for two touchdowns, showcasing his ability to gain yards after the catch on each occasion. His first trip to the end zone came on a 91-yard reception when he beat the Raiders' secondary down the seam and shook off a defender around mid-field before taking his reception to the house. Later that quarter, he caught a pass down the middle of the field and broke several tackles on the way to a 16-yard trip to pay dirt. The impressive rookie remains inconsistent but has now collected…read more

Analysis: Brown was added to the Titans' injury report Thursday, being listed as a limited participant due to a calf issue. Fortunately for the wide receiver, he returned in full Friday and will be available this weekend against a Raiders defense that has conceded 9.6 yards per target and 14 total TDs to his position in 12 games this season.

Disappoints after big performance
Brown hauled in three of his four targets for 45 yards in the team's Week 13 win over the Colts.
Analysis: Brown tied for the team lead with four targets, though Ryan Tannehill attempted only 22 passes in the contest. As a result, in spite of efficient work, Brown put up a disappointing stat line. Even so, he provided big plays for the offense, with all of his catches going for 13 or more yards. Despite inconsistent usage and quarterback play early in the season, Brown has flashed big-play potential by averaging 18.4 yards per reception to go along with four touchdowns through 12 games.

He also posted several other long receptions, including gains of 36, 19 and 15 yards.

Slow in upset win
Brown caught a 17-yard pass off of four targets during Sunday's 35-32 win over the Chiefs.
Analysis: The Titans are 3-1 with Ryan Tannehill at quarterback, but Brown has been uneven with his new signal caller, with 10 catches for 145 yards combined in a pair of games against the Chargers and Panthers and three catches for 28 total yards in wins over the Buccaneers and Chiefs. The rookie has the benefit of being in a Titans offense not exactly brimming with established targets and will have the bye week to iron things out with Tannehill.

Brown caught four of his seven targets for 81 yards in Week 9 against the Panthers.
Analysis: Brown led the team in both targets and receptions, the second time in the past three weeks he's shown strong rapport with Ryan Tannehill. Still, his effort was a contrast in both good and bad, as he showed the ability to work downfield on a 35-yard reception that was highly contested to begin the fourth quarter. On the other hand, he let a target slip through his hands for an interception that led directly to a Panthers touchdown early in the game. Overall, Brown now has at least seven targets…read more
