Team-high yardage total in loss
Brown secured six of 12 targets for 88 yards in the Cardinals' 37-14 loss to the Rams on Sunday.
Analysis: Brown didn't show any ill effects from the heel injury that had him listed as questionable coming into the contest, leading the Cardinals in receiving yards and targets on the afternoon. The performance was Brown's first productive one in the three games Kyler Murray has been under center, perhaps a harbinger of better chemistry down the stretch for the talented duo. Brown and the Cardinals travel to face the Steelers in a Week 13 interconference battle.

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

Expected to play Sunday
Brown (heel), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Rams, is expected to play, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Analysis: Brown looks on track to face Los Angeles, but his status may not be made official until the Cardinals release their inactive list roughly 90 minutes before Sunday's 4:05 p.m. ET kickoff. The return of quarterback Kyler Murray has resulted in a puzzling dip in Brown's production, with the wideout having posted just three catches for 46 yards without a touchdown over his last two appearances. Of course, Brown and Murray have a well-established rapport and should get back on track soon, and the…read more

Questionable for Sunday
Brown (heel) didn't practice Friday and is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Rams.
Analysis: Coach Jonathan Gannon termed Brown's absence from practice Thursday as "precautionary," but it's nonetheless concerning for fantasy managers following another absence Friday. The Cardinals and Rams are scheduled for a 4:05 ET kickoff, with Arizona WR Michael Wilson (shoulder) already ruled out for the contest. Rondale Moore, Greg Dortch, Andre Baccellia and Zach Pascal (questionable - hamstring) will try to pick up the slack if Brown ends up joining Wilson on the inactive list.

Could sit out another practice
Brown (heel) didn't appear to be participating in the media-access portion of Friday's practice, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.
Analysis: Brown opened Week 12 prep Wednesday as a limited participant due to the heel issue, but with the receiver tracking toward a second straight absence from practice to close out the week, he doesn't appear to be trending toward playing Sunday against the Rams. The Cardinals will provide an update on Brown's status after Friday's practice, when the team will likely give him a designation for Sunday's contest or rule him out in advance of the weekend.

No listed activity Thursday
Brown (heel) was listed as a non-participant on Thursday's injury report, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.
Analysis: Brown's heel issue only emerged Wednesday, when the Cardinals considered him limited. Now that he didn't log any activity one day later, there's a chance he suffered the injury at Wednesday's session, but there's also a chance that Thursday's DNP is a precautionary measure. Ultimately, Arizona may provide some clarity into the situation when it posts its final practice report of the week Friday.

Dealing with heel injury
Brown was a limited participant at Wednesday's practice due to a heel injury, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Brown previously had his practice reps affected by a thumb injury during Week 4 prep and again by an illness ahead of Week 6 action, but he hasn't missed any games to date. The return of quarterback Kyler Murray from his torn ACL hasn't helped his production, as Brown has managed just 40 yards from scrimmage on three catches (nine targets) and one carry the last two games. With another health concern in tow, Brown's status will be monitored as the week goes on to see if he may be inhibited or…read more

Minimal production in Week 11 loss
Brown brought in two of five targets for 18 yards in the Cardinals' 21-16 loss to the Texans on Sunday.
Analysis: Brown was third on the Cardinals in targets, but the matchup against a Texans defense adept at limiting wide receiver production got the best of the speedy wideout. Brown has brought in just three of nine targets for 46 yards in the two games he's played with Kyler Murray thus far, but given the previous rapport between the two, that inefficiency could begin to wane beginning with a favorable Week 12 home matchup against the Rams.

Contained to one catch Sunday
Brown had a 28-yard catch on his four targets during Sunday's 25-23 victory over the Falcons.
Analysis: Otherwise, Brown made no other impact in the box score in a game in which the Cardinals welcomed back quarterback Kyler Murray (knee) for the first time in 11 months. In the eight outings in which Murray started and Brown was available last season, Brown put up a 53-565-3 line on 80 targets, including five performances of 60-plus receiving yards and at least six targets on each occasion. Sunday's chunk play is indicative that some chemistry still is there between Brown and Murray, and the wide…read more

Quiet while working with rookie
Brown secured four of eight targets for 28 yards in the Cardinals' 27-0 loss to the Browns on Sunday.
Analysis: The Cardinals' top pass-catching target did lead the team in receptions, receiving yardage and targets, but his numbers remained modest overall while working with frequently overwhelmed rookie fifth-round pick Clayton Tune as his quarterback. However, better days could be ahead as early as next Sunday, with Brown likely to get Kyler Murray (knee) back as his quarterback for a Week 10 matchup against the Falcons unless Arizona opts to let the star signal-caller's 21-day practice window expire…read more

Notches fourth TD
Brown had six receptions on nine targets for 33 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 31-24 loss to the Ravens.
Analysis: Brown was unable to break off one of his signature big plays against his former club Sunday, but he still delivered from a fantasy perspective via a short touchdown reception. It was the 26-year-old's fourth touchdown through eight weeks, already surpassing the mark he set over 12 games last year. Brown has been providing consistent value while serving as Joshua Dobbs' top receiving option this season. That said, Brown and the Cardinals will draw a tough road matchup against Cleveland's elite…read more

Leading receiver in loss
Brown had three receptions off seven targets for 49 yards in Sunday's 20-10 loss to the Seahawks.
Analysis: Brown finished as the Cardinals' leading receiver in a loss during which starting quarterback Joshua Dobbs threw for just 146 yards with no passing touchdowns. It resulted in the wideout's second subpar fantasy result in as many weeks. Hollywood has been a streaky option over his five years in the league, so inconsistencies can be expected with an inexperienced journeyman under center for Arizona. Brown will have extra motivation to find the end zone in Week 8 when the Cardinals host his former…read more

Inefficient in Week 6 loss
Brown secured four of 11 targets for 34 yards in the Cardinals' 26-9 loss to the Rams on Sunday.
Analysis: Brown, who overcame a mid-week illness to suit up Sunday, led the Cardinals in targets by a wide margin, but his yardage total was his lowest since Week 1. Brown's inefficiency over his last two games stands out, as he's brought in only eight of 21 targets over that span. Nevertheless, he remains Arizona's most proven receiver, and he could be in for a resurgent effort in a favorable Week 7 road matchup against the Seahawks.

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

Brown (illness), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Rams, is expected to play, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Analysis: Brown never practiced fully this week, but he looks to be trending toward playing Sunday after managing limited practice sessions Thursday and Friday. Still, those considering Brown for Week 6 fantasy lineups will still want to confirm he's active prior to Sunday's 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff. The Cardinals will release their inactive list 90 minutes prior to the game's start time.

Analysis: In his return from Wednesday's absence due to an illness, Brown was spotted running routes and catching passes during individual drills one day later, per Tyler Drake of ArizonaSports.com.

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

Comes down with illness
Brown didn't practice Wednesday due to an illness, Tyler Drake of ArizonaSports.com reports.
Analysis: Brown is no stranger to injury reports in his career, and his Week 6 status now is up in the air. Fortunately for Brown, he has chances to practice Thursday and Friday before the Cardinals potentially give him a designation ahead of Sunday's road matchup with the Rams. Brown has been working with quarterback Joshua Dobbs for the entire season, but the wide receiver's production has been on point, resulting in 25 catches (on 42 targets) for 300 yards and three touchdowns in five games.

Analysis: The Cardinals haven't revealed if Brown is dealing with an injury, but he's coming off a productive outing in this past Sunday's loss to the Bengals, in which he caught four of 10 targets for 61 yards and a touchdown. He's been consistently productive this season, with at least 57 total yards in each game and a touchdown in three of the past four.

Hauls in TD in Sunday's loss
Brown caught four of 10 targets for 61 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 34-20 loss to the Bengals.
Analysis: While it wasn't an efficient performance -- Arizona quarterback Joshua Dobbs also completed fewer than 50 percent of his passes for the first time this season -- Brown did make a splash with a 25-yard TD catch early in the second quarter. It's his third score in five games, already matching his touchdown total from 2022, and the fourth-year wideout has also seen double-digit targets in three of five contests as Dobbs' favorite downfield option. Brown will look to keep rolling in Week 6 against…read more

Brown had seven receptions on 10 targets for 96 yards in Sunday's 35-16 loss to the 49ers.
Analysis: Brown overcame the thumb injury that threatened his availability during the practice week leading up to Sunday's tilt. The 2019 first-round pick was unable to extend his touchdown streak to three games, but he still provided value with new season highs in yards and receptions. Brown has transitioned well to becoming Arizona's No. 1 receiver following the offseason trade of DeAndre Hopkins.

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

Analysis: Brown is officially listed as questionable for Sunday's game, but he appears to be trending in the right direction as the 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff approaches. The Cardinals' No. 1 wideout has scored in two consecutive weeks, but playing through a thumb injury against an elite 49ers defense may not be an ideal recipe for success Week 4. Official word on Brown's status will come when the Cardinals release their inactive list approximately 90 minutes prior to kickoff.

Analysis: Brown was a limited practice participant Thursday and Friday, with head coach Jonathan Gannon telling reporters that he wanted to observe the wideout in Friday's session before making any decisions for Sunday. Barring further updates, fantasy managers will want to treat Brown as a game-time decision ahead of the 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff.

Possible game-time call
Brown (thumb) will practice Friday but could end up a game-time decision for Sunday's matchup with the 49ers, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Brown is dealing with a thumb injury that doesn't require surgery, and while he might be able to play through the issue, it's not ideal that he was a mid-week addition to the injury report Thursday, when he was a limited participant in practice. Between the matchup with an elite defense and the possibility of an injured thumb making it tougher to catch passes, Brown holds less fantasy appeal than usual despite posting a 5-61-1 receiving line against Dallas last week.

Scores for second straight week
Brown caught five of seven targets for 61 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 28-16 win over the Cowboys.
Analysis: The fifth-year wideout led the Cardinals in catches and got into the end zone for the second straight game, hauling in a two-yard strike from Joshua Dobbs in the fourth quarter. Brown scored only three TDs in 12 games last season, so his early production is an encouraging sign that a breakout campaign could be on its way. However, he could have a hard time maintaining his momentum in Week 4 against another tough defense in the 49ers.

Gets into end zone Sunday
Brown caught six of 10 targets for 54 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 31-28 loss to the Giants.
Analysis: The fifth-year wideout produced the only score of the second half for the Cardinals after they built a 20-0 lead before halftime, hauling in a three-yard TD pass from Joshua Dobbs midway through the third quarter. Brown's 10 targets also led his team, while his six catches tied Zach Ertz for tops on Arizona. Brown faces a tough test in Week 3 against a Cowboys defense that just held the Jets' Garrett Wilson to only two receptions, although one of them went for a 68-yard touchdown.

Four touches Sunday
Brown caught three of five targets for 28 yards and added 29 rushing yards on his only carry in Sunday's 20-16 loss to the Commanders.
Analysis: The former Raven helped set up the Cardinals' first points with his 29-yard run on a first-quarter drive that ended in a field goal, but Brown was nearly invisible after that as Arizona's offense failed to produce a touchdown on the day. As QB Joshua Dobbs gets more familiar with the playbook, things could open up a little for the Cards' wideouts, but this still figures to be one of the least potent passing games in the NFL this season.

Brown (hamstring) is listed as active Sunday at Washington, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.
Analysis: Brown now has dealt with a hamstring injury ahead of each of the last three campaigns. This time around, he was limited in practice during the entirety of Week 1 prep, but the issue won't impact his availability for the season opener. He'll thus serve as one of the top pass catchers for expected starting quarterback Joshua Dobbs, which isn't exactly an ideal situation considering the signal-caller only joined the team Aug. 24.

Analysis: Brown is no stranger to lower-body injuries, including to his hamstring. He dealt with a hamstring injury is August 2021 and again during last year's training camp. He didn't miss any official game action as a result, and his ability to handle some reps Wednesday generally is a decent sign that the current concern isn't serious.

Sees action in Saturday's loss
Brown (undisclosed) brought in one of two targets for 12 yards in the Cardinals' 38-10 preseason loss to the Chiefs on Saturday night.
Analysis: The speedster had been slowly ramping back up in practice the past few weeks after overcoming what head coach Jonathan Gannon labeled as "nicks and bruises." Brown then drew the start Saturday night and made his one catch on the first play of the Cardinals' second possession. Brown's ability to suit up Saturday dispels any concerns about his health and keeps him firmly on track to open the campaign as Arizona's unquestioned No. 1 receiver.

It's unclear at this point if the wideout will suit up for the Cardinals' first exhibition game Friday, Aug. 11 versus the Broncos, but the team isn't likely to take any chances with him. In Brown's absence, Arizona's top wide receivers are Rondale Moore, Greg Dortch and Michael Wilson.

Brown, who is dealing with a foot issue, was held out of Tuesday's practice, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Per coach Jonathan Gannon, the Cardinals elected to hold the wideout out of the session for precautionary reasons. Once Brown -- who logged a 67-709-3 line in 12 games last season -- is able to to return to practice, he'll take over as Arizona's top wide receiver option following the release of DeAndre Hopkins. In the mix for snaps behind Brown this coming season are Rondale Moore, Greg Dortch, Zach Pascal and 2023 third-rounder Michael Wilson.

Moves up depth chart
Brown has moved up the wide receiver depth chart in Arizona after the team released DeAndre Hopkins on Friday, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.
Analysis: Due to Hopkins' six-game suspension to start last season and injury concerns for both he and Brown thereafter, the pair only suited up for four games together. With Hopkins out of the picture, Brown will kick off his second season with the Cardinals as the team's top wideout, followed by the likes of Rondale Moore, Greg Dortch, Zach Pascal and rookie third-round pick Michael Wilson. Brown also may not be working with Kyler Murray once Week 1 arrives due to the quarterback's recovery from an ACL…read more

Quiet in season finale
Brown had one reception on four targets for seven yards in Sunday's 38-13 loss to the 49ers.
Analysis: Brown failed to take advantage of an elevated role sans DeAndre Hopkins (knee), turning in his worst fantasy performance in the final game of the regular season. The 25-year-old got off to a hot start with his new club in 2022, but injuries derailed both his and quarterback Kyler Murray's (knee) seasons. Brown finishes the campaign with a receiving line of 67-709-3 over 12 games played while catching balls from four different quarterbacks. Arizona already extended Brown's option through 2023,…read more

Six catches in loss
Brown recorded six catches on nine targets for 61 yards in Sunday's 20-19 loss to the Falcons.
Analysis: Brown didn't see an uptick in opportunity in the absence of DeAndre Hopkins (knee), though he did command at least eight targets for the fourth time in his last five games. Brown was overshadowed by Trey McBride, but he still managed lengthy receptions of 19 and 17 yards. That helped him surpass 60 receiving yards in a game for the first time since Week 6.

Solid yardage total in OT loss
Brown secured three of six targets for 57 yards and rushed once for one yard in the Cardinals' 19-16 overtime loss to the Buccaneers on Sunday night.
Analysis: Brown checked in with the second-highest yardage total on the night through the air for the Cardinals while working with first-time starter Trace McSorley, a development that seemed to cap the speedster's overall numbers more than the groin issue he'd dealt with during the practice week. Most of Brown's production came on an impressive contested 47-yard catch late in the third quarter that set up a field goal, helping him to his best yardage tally since he recorded 68 against the Seahawks back…read more

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

Gets Week 16 questionable tag
The Cardinals list Brown (groin) as questionable for Sunday's game against the Buccaneers, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Brown was a mid-week addition to the Cardinals' injury report after he logged a limited practice Thursday before having his reps capped again Friday on account of the groin issue. The receiver's ability to practice in any fashion to close out Week 16 prep is a good sign, but an official word on his status for Sunday's game likely won't arrive until Arizona releases its inactive list 90 minutes prior to the 8:20 p.m. ET kickoff.

Dealing with groin issue
Brown (groin) was a limited practice participant Thursday, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Brown is a mid-week addition to the Cardinals' injury report, as he's now tending to a groin issue. After spending Weeks 7 through 11 on IR due to a foot injury, he's dealt with health concerns in back-to-back weeks, with an illness impacting his on-field work during Week 15 prep. Brown still was able to suit up this past Sunday at Denver and log a typical 92 percent share of snaps en route to four catches (on eight targets) for 19 yards. In the end, Friday's report will reveal whether or not…read more

Struggles in loss
Brown recorded four receptions on eight targets for 19 yards in Sunday's 24-15 loss to the Broncos.
Analysis: Brown finished second on the team with eight targets, but that was the most noteworthy part of his performance. His longest reception went for only nine yards, and he managed only one reception for three yards across the final two quarters of the game. While Brown was likely hampered by playing with Arizona's second and third-string quarterbacks, he was outgained by three Arizona pass catchers. In three contests since returning from injured reserve, Brown now has 119 total yards and has yet to…read more

Suiting up in Week 15
Brown (illness) is active for Sunday's game at Denver, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.
Analysis: After an illness sidelined Brown from Thursday's practice, he returned as a limited participant Friday and went into the weekend with a questionable designation. Adam Schefter of ESPN reported late Saturday that Brown was in line to suit up Week 15, which has come to fruition. Brown will be on the receiving end of passes from Colt McCoy for the rest of the campaign following Kyler Murray's season-ending ACL tear.

Analysis: After sitting out Thursday's practice with the illness, Brown returned to the field Friday as a limited participant. He appears to have made some progress since that time, though the Cardinals won't officially confirm that Brown will suit up until the team releases its inactive list 90 minutes prior to Sunday's 4:05 p.m. ET kickoff.

Brown (illness) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game in Denver, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.
Analysis: Brown's return to a limited practice Friday puts him on track to avoid the inactive list approximately ahead of a 4:05 ET kickoff Sunday. While not much has gone right in Arizona this year, the Cards at least have a strong WR duo in Brown and DeAndre Hopkins to help out backup QB Colt McCoy.

Returns from illness
Brown (illness) returned to practice Friday, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Brown missed just one practice and likely will be fine for Sunday's game in Denver. The problems for him this week are a tough Broncos secondary and the presence of backup Colt McCoy under center for Arizona instead of Kyler Murray (ACL).

Comes down with illness
Brown was a non-participant at Thursday's practice due to an illness, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.
Analysis: After avoiding the injury report entirely Wednesday, Brown made an appearance one day later. Illnesses can be fickle, with a variety of recovery timelines, so his status will be one to watch closely as the week goes on. If Brown enters the weekend with a designation for Sunday's game at Denver, a 4:05 p.m. ET kickoff allows for less players to pivot to if he ends up inactive.

Four grabs in Week 14 loss
Brown secured four of eight targets for 34 yards in the Cardinals' 27-13 loss to the Patriots on Monday night.
Analysis: Brown's numbers were naturally affected by the fact Kyler Murray exited the game on the third play of the game with what appears to be a serious knee injury. The speedster's ideal route tree lends itself much better to Murray than veteran quarterback Colt McCoy, who tends to frequently operate in the short and mid-range areas of the field. Brown's catch and yardage totals were his lowest since Week 1, but he'll aim to bounce back irrespective of who's under center in a Week 15 road matchup…read more

Six catches in return
Brown recorded six receptions on eight targets for 46 yards in Sunday's 25-24 loss to the Chargers.
Analysis: Brown returned to action for the first time since Week 6 and immediately led Arizona in targets and receptions. His yardage total was held in check as he worked in short areas of the field. That limited him to only 5.8 yards per target while his longest reception of the day went for 13 yards. The Cardinals will now head into their Week 13 bye, though Brown should be back at near full strength by the time the team takes on New England in Week 14.

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

Analysis: The Cardinals designated Brown for return from injured reserve last Wednesday and had him out on the practice field again this week. Kingsbury said Wednesday that the speedy wideout was likely to be on a pitch count in his first game back after missing more than a month with foot injury, but Brown at least sounds like he's on track to play for the first time since Week 6. The Cardinals will have until 4 p.m. ET on Saturday to officially activate Brown from IR for this weekend's game.

Head coach Kliff Kingsbury said Wednesday that Brown (foot) likely will be on a "pitch count" Sunday against the Chargers if the Cardinals activate him from injured reserve, Darren of the team's official site reports.
Analysis: The Cardinals designated Brown for return from IR last Wednesday, but he didn't do enough in practice to get back on the active roster for Monday's eventual loss to the 49ers. Now that he's taking part in drills for a second consecutive week, he may have a better shot to play Sunday, but if he's active he likely won't take on a full allotment of snaps.

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

Getting close to return, per HC
Coach Kliff Kingsbury said Monday that Brown (foot) is "getting close" and is expected to be back after the team's Week 13 bye at the latest, per Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site.
Analysis: Brown was placed on injured reserve Oct. 20 due to a foot injury he suffered Week 6 and was slated to be sidelined 4-to-6 weeks. Per Tyler Drake of ArizonaSports.com, Kingsbury added that the wideout "is getting to the point where he's going to be day-to-day," but the Cardinals won't rush him back until he's 100 percent. Before the injury, Brown secured 43 of 64 targets for 485 yards and three scores, but all of that production came when DeAndre Hopkins was sidelined due to a suspension.

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

Analysis: This is certainly an encouraging development after news dropped earlier Monday that Brown may miss the remainder of the season, but the extent of his issue remains unclear. On Monday, the Cardinals traded for Robbie Anderson and activated DeAndre Hopkins to the active roster following a six-game suspension, a pair that'll join Rondale Moore and A.J.

The extent of the issue remains unclear, but based on Schefter's report, there's a possibility the wideout could miss the remainder of the season.

Sports boot after negative X-rays
X-rays on Brown's ankle came back negative, but he had a walking boot on his left foot after Sunday's 19-9 loss to the Seahawks, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.
Analysis: While Brown didn't break any bones, the boot suggests he may have suffered ligament damage. A high ankle sprain could mean a 4-to-6-week absence for Brown, who caught five of nine targets for 68 yards before getting hurt. Even recovering from a milder low ankle sprain would be an uphill battle before Thursday's Week 7 clash with the Saints, but at least Arizona's expected to get fellow wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins back from suspension for that one.

Efficient on 10 targets
Brown caught eight passes for 78 yards and a touchdown on 10 targets in Sunday's 20-17 loss to the Eagles.
Analysis: Brown could have had another touchdown if not for a dropped pass, but his box score was still very clean overall. He's generally been productive for the Cardinals and his fantasy investors, and in Week 6 he gets a Seattle defense that seemingly can't cover anyone, especially a blur like Brown.

Analysis: Brown was a late addition to the Cardinals' injury last Friday, when he was limited in practice by a foot issue and entered the weekend as questionable.

Finds end zone in win
Brown caught six of 11 targets for 88 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 26-16 win over the Panthers.
Analysis: His 23-yard grab in the fourth quarter capped the scoring for the Cardinals. Brown has seen double-digit targets in three straight games, posting a 26-296-1 line on 39 targets over that stretch as he continues to solidify his spot as Kyler Murray's top option while DeAndre Hopkins (suspension) remains out.

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

Massive numbers in loss
Brown caught 14 of 17 targets for 140 yards in Sunday's 20-12 loss to the Rams.
Analysis: Kyler Murray set new career highs in both passing attempts and completions, and while all that volume resulted in only four field goals, Brown was by far his favorite target. The 140 receiving yards represented the former Raven's best performance since he hauled in a career-high 147 yards in his NFL debut back in 2019, and Brown could be poised for big numbers again in Week 4 against a Panthers secondary that just got torched for 147 yards by New Orleans rookie Chris Olave.

Good volume but mediocre returns
Brown caught six passes for 68 yards on 11 targets in an overtime win over Las Vegas on Sunday.
Analysis: Brown has been running his routes from DeAndre Hopkins' former position -- the left outside receiver spot -- but the returns have been lacking through two weeks. His 17 targets in Arizona have resulted in 10 catches for 111 yards and one touchdown, which isn't enough for how much Arizona depends on Brown while Hopkins is suspended. The Cardinals will hope to get Brown going against Tennessee in Week 3.

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

Back to 100 percent
Brown isn't slated to play in Sunday's preseason game against the Ravens, but he said Wednesday that his hamstring currently is 100 percent, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.
Analysis: Brown landed in Arizona on Day 1 of the draft back in April via a trade with the Ravens, but his training camp so far has included a stint on the non-football injury list and a slow ramp up since returning to practice Aug. 2. He didn't partake in his first on-field work with quarterback and college teammate Kyler Murray (wrist) until Monday, at which point the Cardinals were seen operating in 10 personnel, with Brown and Rondale Moore as slot receivers and DeAndre Hopkins and A.J. Green manning…read more

Finally getting work with Murray
Coach Kliff Kingsbury said Monday that Brown (hamstring) and Kyler Murray (wrist) practiced for the first time together since the start of training camp, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.
Analysis: Both players have dealt with injuries in camp, with Brown getting back on the field last week, which coincided with limitations on Murray's practice reps due to a sore wrist. It's unclear if either or both were able to handle every drill Monday, but the Cardinals showed evidence of testing out the Air Raid, with Brown and Rondale Moore in the slot and DeAndre Hopkins and A.J. Green as outside receivers, per Paul Calvisi of Arizona Sports 98.7 FM. The team won't be able to operate with that…read more

Takes part in individual drills
Brown (hamstring) took part in individual drills off to the side during Monday's practice and is expected to return to full-team work by Wednesday, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Head coach Kliff Kingsbury suggested that Brown would increase his activity Tuesday, and if all goes well, the wideout will be back to full speed by the middle of the week. Even if that comes to fruition, Brown is unlikely to play in Friday's preseason opener in Cincinnati, given the lack of full practice sessions he has under his belt up to this point in training camp.

Not practicing yet
Brown (hamstring) isn't practicing Thursday but is down on the field watching his teammates, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Coach Kliff Kingsbury said earlier this week that he hoped to get Brown back in individual drills by Friday and back to full participation by Monday. That could still happen, though it isn't looking great at this point. Brown's recent arrest for speeding is less of an issue, as it didn't cost him any practice time and isn't likely to lead to an NFL suspension.

Brown (hamstring) was arrested Wednesday in Phoenix on criminal speeding charges, Jose M. Romero of The Arizona Republic reports.
Analysis: Brown has been slowed by a hamstring issue during the first week-plus of training camp, kicking it off on the active/non-football injury list before returning to drills Tuesday. At that time, head coach Kliff Kingsbury noted that Brown was being "eased" back in, but he was expected to be a full participant by early next week.

No full practice until next week
Brown (hamstring) will be eased back into practice after the Cardinals removed him from the non-football injury list Tuesday, with coach Kliff Kingsbury saying the wideout may not be a full participant until Monday, Bob McManaman of The Arizona Republic reports.
Analysis: Brown was on the NFI list for the first week of training camp after injuring his hamstring in a training session over the summer. He spent plenty of time on the injury report in three seasons with Baltimore but missed only three of a possible 52 games (including playoffs). The Cardinals don't seem too worried about his current issue, counting on Brown to be ready for Week 1 while fellow wideout DeAndre Hopkins serves the first game of a six-week suspension.

Removed from NFI list
Brown (hamstring) was activated from the non-football injury list Tuesday morning, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Brown can now practice with his Cardinal teammates, after missing the first week of training camp due to a hamstring injury he reportedly suffered during a private workout over the summer. He may be eased into practice with his new team, as there's a high recurrence rate for soft-tissue injuries -- and perhaps even more so for speed-dependent players.

May practice next week
Coach Kliff Kingsbury is hopeful Brown (hamstring) returns to practice "next week at some point," Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports. "I don't know when, but that's our hope," Kingsbury added Friday.
Analysis: The Cardinals placed Brown on the active/non-football injury list Tuesday due to a hamstring issue, giving him a chance to practice at any point during training camp once he's healthy. With more than a month before the regular season, he'll have plenty of time to reach 100 percent, but getting back on the field will be the first step in that process. Once he's available, Brown is poised to serve as the team's top wide receiver Week 1, when DeAndre Hopkins' six-game suspension kicks in.

Analysis: The wideout is eligible to come off the list whenever he is ready to practice, but Brown is now slated to miss some time with Arizona's training camp about to open. Once he's able to return to the field, Brown will look to cement his key role in an offense that will open the coming season minus DeAndre Hopkins, who has been suspended for six games out of the gate for violating the NFL's policy on performance-enhancing substances.

On pace for volume sans Hopkins
Brown may need to take on a larger role in the Cardinals offense to begin the upcoming season after DeAndre Hopkins was suspended six games Monday for violating the NFL's policy on performance-enhancing substances, Lindsay Jones of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Arizona made a splash on Day 1 of the 2022 Draft when it acquired Brown and a third-round pick for the team's first-rounder. He was slated to operate with Hopkins and A.J. Green at wide receiver in the base offense, but Brown now should assume No. 1 duties as of Week 1 of the campaign. Brown is coming off the first 1,000-yard season of his pro career in 2021 and previously worked with quarterback Kyler Murray at Oklahoma in 2018, compiling a 75-1,318-10 line in a high-powered scheme.

To receive fifth-year option
GM Steve Keim said the Cardinals will exercise the fifth-year option on Brown's rookie contract after acquiring the wide receiver in a draft-day trade with the Ravens on Thursday, Darren Urban of the team's official site reports.
Analysis: As part of the exchange, Baltimore received the 23rd overall pick in this year's draft, while Arizona gained the speedy Brown and pick No. 100 on Friday. Brown has experience playing with Kyler Murray at Oklahoma, and the former is coming off a three-year stretch in which he upped his catch and yardage totals each season, culminating with a 91-1,008-6 line on 146 targets in 2021. With the Cards, Brown joins a group of wide receivers that boasts DeAndre Hopkins, A.J. Green and Rondale Moore,…read more

Gets moved to Arizona
The Ravens dealt Brown and a 2022 third-round pick to the Cardinals on Thursday for the 23rd overall selection in this year's draft, Field Yates of ESPN reports.
Analysis: The Cardinals added another big-play threat to their receiving corps, but instead of bringing in a rookie via the draft they're reuniting Brown with college teammate Kyler Murray. While working together at Oklahoma in 2018, Brown was among Murray's top wideouts en route to the latter winning the Heisman Trophy. Since then, Brown was a first-round pick of the Ravens in 2019, increasing his catch and yardage totals in each of his three pro campaigns. Last year, he wrangled 91 of 146 passes for…read more

Fifth-year option likely coming
General manager Eric DeCosta said Friday he expects the Ravens to pick up Brown's fifth-year option, Jonas Shaffer of The Baltimore Sun reports.
Analysis: Baltimore will need to make a decision on Brown's fifth-year option by May, and picking up the deal would keep the speedy wideout in house through 2023. Though Brown did lose steam in terms of production down the stretch of the 2021 campaign, he spent much of that time operating with Tyler Huntley under center instead of Lamar Jackson (ankle), and also battled injuries of his own. A more optimistic view of Brown's third-year efforts, which included his first 1,000-yard season, is that the…read more

Three catches in finale
Brown brought in three of seven targets for 27 yards in the Ravens' 16-13 overtime loss to the Steelers on Sunday.
Analysis: Brown was a distant second to Mark Andrews in receptions, receiving yards and targets on the afternoon to close out the campaign rather quietly. The third-year speedster did manage to get over 1,000 receiving yards for the first time in his career with Sunday's production, finishing at 1,008 alongside 91 receptions over 16 games.

Brown (ankle) doesn't carry an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Steelers.
Analysis: The speedy wideout returned to a full practice Friday after missing Thursday's session, which sets the stage for him to suit up this weekend. In the process, Brown will once again be catching passes from QB Tyler Huntley, with Lamar Jackson (ankle) ruled out by the Ravens. Brown is coming off a Week 17 effort in which he caught three of his eight targets for 28 yards in a loss to the Rams.

Ineffective yet again
Brown caught three passes for 28 yards on eight targets against the Rams on Sunday.
Analysis: It's been a brutal month for Brown, who's seen 39 targets over his last four games yet has just 156 yards to show for it. Tyler Huntley doesn't have much downfield ability as a passer, so that's likely made it tougher to get the speedster involved. Moreover, Brown's effectiveness Sunday may have been impacted by him missing practice with an illness earlier in the week. It might be difficult for Brown to maximize his fantasy value if Lamar Jackson (ankle) sits out again in Week 18.

Brown (illness) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Rams after missing practices Thursday and Friday.
Analysis: Brown's status is thus worth closely monitoring, though fortunately for those considering him in Week 17 fantasy lineups, the Ravens kick off at 1 p.m. ET on Sunday. If he ends up out or limited this weekend, added opportunities would be available for Sammy Watkins and Rashod Bateman.

Another inefficient game
Brown caught five passes for 44 yards on nine targets against Cincinnati on Sunday.
Analysis: As the Ravens' smallest receiver, Brown is the easiest one for a quarterback to miss, and he tends to suffer when playing with a quarterback who struggles to throw downfield. Lamar Jackson definitely has more of an inclination to throw deep than Tyler Huntley (illness) or Sunday's starter Josh Johnson, so it's not terribly surprising that Brown's efficiency fell off with that change at quarterback. It's not clear who will be taking snaps for the Ravens when they face the Rams in Week 17.

In fact, the speedster's longest reception went for just seven yards.

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

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

Contained in loss
Brown brought in six of 13 targets for 37 yards and committed a fumble that was recovered by the Ravens in a 22-10 loss to the Dolphins in Thursday night.
Analysis: The 24-year-old speedster was done in by an effective Dolphins scheme that saw Miami take away the deep ball consistently, which left Brown with his second-lowest yardage total of the season. Brown's sub-50-percent catch rate was also a disappointment and his second in the last three games, although on the bright side, he's now logged between 12 and 14 targets in his last three contests.

At this point, there's been nothing to suggest that the wideout's status for Thursday night's game against the Dolphins is in any danger, but Brown probably will need to log a listed full practice by Wednesday in order to avoid a Week 10 injury designation.

Brown caught five of 14 targets for 80 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 41-17 loss to Cincinnati.
Analysis: After a quiet first half, Brown broke free for a go-ahead 39-yard touchdown early in the third quarter, doing well to stay inbounds. It was all Bengals after that, though it was encouraging to see Lamar Jackson pepper Brown with targets once the Ravens were forced to turn to the air. The fleet-footed wideout has 37 catches for 566 yards and six touchdowns heading into Baltimore's Week 8 bye in what has been a breakout season for Brown.

Cools off Sunday
Brown caught four of five targets for 35 yards against the Chargers.
Analysis: Baltimore's passing game was held in check to the tune of 167 yards Sunday. Brown's target volume tied a season-low with five, though he caught nearly everything thrown his way at an efficient clip. The Ravens face the Bengals at home in a big AFC North showdown Sunday.

Wins game with second score
Brown caught nine of 10 targets for 125 yards and two touchdowns in Monday night's 31-25 overtime win over the Colts.
Analysis: Brown was frustratingly missed on a couple scoring opportunities late in the first half and had to wait until the third quarter to make his first catch. After that point, however, he and quarterback Lamar Jackson helped turn Monday's game around, with the dynamic duo connecting on a 43-yard touchdown late in the third quarter. Brown remained highly involved as Baltimore overcame a 16-point fourth-quarter deficit to force overtime, which he then ended with a five-yard touchdown grab on the…read more

Hauls in spectacular TD
Brown caught four of five targets for 91 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 23-7 win over the Broncos.
Analysis: While he didn't see a lot of volume, Brown didn't need much to make an impact. On a deep route in the second quarter, the third-year receiver split two defenders with a burst of speed and then laid out in midair to haul in Lamar Jackson's toss for a highlight-reel 49-yard score. Brown has found the end zone three times through four games, and he'll look for more big plays in Week 5 against the Colts.

Struggles with drops in Detroit
Brown (ankle) caught three of seven targets for 53 yards in Sunday's 19-17 win over the Lions.
Analysis: Brown had a trio of costly drops in the first half, all of which likely would have gone for lengthy touchdowns. He ended up with a quiet stat line as a result of those miscues after finding the end zone in each of his first two games, but the 2019 first-round pick continues to play a major role in the Ravens' offense as the team's top downfield target. Baltimore will likely dial up more deep shots for the speedster against the Broncos in Week 4, and Brown will look to put these drops behind him.

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

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

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

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

Continues hot start
Brown (ankle) secured six of 10 targets for 113 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 36-35 win over the Chiefs.
Analysis: Brown continued his strong start to the 2021 campaign with his first 100-yard game of the year and his second trip to the end zone. The 24-year-old was nursing a sore ankle during practice this week, but he appeared to be fully healthy when he burned the Chiefs' secondary and caught Lamar Jackson's incredible leaping pass for a touchdown. Hollywood is starting to finally look like the top target for Jackson after a couple of years of inconsistency. He will look to keep that going in a soft…read more

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

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

Brown (ankle) participated at Friday's practice but appeared to have some limitations, Jonas Shaffer of The Baltimore Sun reports.
Analysis: Brown went through agility drills with no issues but appeared to be moving at less than full speed in other portions of practice. Still, it's a good sign the 24-year-old is back at practice after being a non-participant the past two days, and he should have a chance of suiting up for Sunday's matchup with the Chiefs.

Another missed practice
Brown (ankle) wasn't spotted at Thursday's practice, Jonas Shaffer of The Baltimore Sun reports.
Analysis: Brown was listed as a non-participant in Wednesday's walk-through practice, so with another absence on tap Thursday what the wideout is able to do Friday will be pivotal with regard to his chances of suiting up Sunday against Kansas City. If Brown is limited or out this weekend, added snaps/targets would be available for Devin Duvernay, James Proche and Tylan Wallace.

Listed as DNP on Wednesday
Brown was listed as a non-participant on Wednesday's practice report with an ankle injury.
Analysis: Per Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com, the Ravens held a walk-through practice for their first session of the week after having just played a grueling overtime loss to the Raiders on Monday. What -- if anything -- Brown is able to do once the team retakes the field Thursday should provide added clarity with regard to his status for Sunday's game against Kansas City. The wideout logged 47 of 68 snaps on offense Week 1 and recorded six receptions for 69 yards and a touchdown.

Starts season with score
Brown caught all six of his targets for 69 yards and a touchdown in Monday night's 33-27 overtime loss to the Raiders. He also rushed once for five yards.
Analysis: Brown's chemistry with quarterback Lamar Jackson was superior to that of some of his new teammates, whose timing appeared slightly off to start the season. In fact, Brown caught Jackson's lone touchdown toss -- a 10-yarder -- after finding room in the back of the end zone during a stellar scramble from the signal-caller. In catching all of the passes sent his way, Brown topped the team in receptions, but offseason addition Sammy Watkins led Baltimore in targets (eight) and receiving yards (96).…read more

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

Brown (hamstring) didn't practice Monday, but he did look comfortable while running on the side, according to Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com.
Analysis: The speedy wideout seems to be gearing up for a return to practice, whereas Rashod Bateman (core muscle) is expected to miss 6-to-8 weeks, and Sammy Watkins left Monday's session early with a potential injury. The Ravens appeared to have better WR depth this year, but durability already was a concern with the group before the recent issues.

Brown (hamstring) got in some conditioning work on a side field during Saturday's practice, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: While that's a step in the right direction for the wideout, who's been sidelined for the last seven practices, the Ravens plan to proceed cautiously with Brown. "You don't want to come back and re-injure it, as we've seen before," coach John Harbaugh noted. With that in mind, Brown's status for next Saturday's preseason opener against the Saints is cloudy.

Out again with hamstring injury
Coach John Harbaugh revealed Monday that Brown's hamstring injury is worse than the Ravens originally thought, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Brown now has missed three straight practices since exiting Thursday's session early. Fellow Ravens wideout Rashod Bateman reportedly is dealing with a minor muscular issue, while oft-injured veteran Sammy Watkins actually has managed to stay healthy so far.

Exits practice with possible injury
Brown left Thursday's practice early with what appeared to be a minor leg injury, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Brown initially stayed on the field and stretched his leg with a trainer before eventually leaving practice. He's been catching passes from Trace McSorley and Tyler Huntley in practice, as Lamar Jackson was placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list Wednesday. It's been a less-than-ideal first week of training camp for the Ravens.

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

Collects 87 yards in playoff loss
Brown snared four of his seven targets for 87 yards during Saturday's 17-3 divisional-round loss to the Bills.
Analysis: Brown was the only perimeter target who posed much of a threat to Buffalo, as the second-year man was the lone Ravens wideout to exceed 25 receiving yards on the night. Tyler Huntley nearly found Brown for an explosive fourth-down gain in the fourth quarter after the receiver slipped past Tre'Davious White in coverage. However, the ball sailed over Brown's outstretched hands, leaving him with a total of one catch for 29 yards following Lamar Jackson's (concussion) late third-quarter exit. Brown…read more

Brown brought in all four of his targets for 25 yards and a touchdown in the Ravens' 27-13 win over the Giants on Sunday.
Analysis: The speedster opened the scoring on the day with a six-yard end-zone grab in the first quarter, his fourth touchdown in the last five games. After a difficult four-game stretch between Weeks 8 and 11, when he generated an anemic 6-55-1 line, Brown has rebounded to record 21 receptions for 297 yards and four scores in his last five games. He'll look to stay hot to close out the season in a Week 17 battle versus the Bengals.

Breaks two big plays
Brown recorded six receptions on seven targets for 98 yards in Week 15 against the Jaguars.
Analysis: Despite spending most of the week on the reserve/COVID-19 list, Brown managed his highest yardage total since Week 1. He did so primarily on the strength of explosive receptions of 44 and 28 yards. The only thing missing from the performance was a touchdown, though he had a target near the goal line and was also dragged down only four yards away from the end zone on a separate play. Brown will next draw a Week 16 matchup against the Giants.

Assuming Brown continues to test negative for COVID-19, he should be added back to the active roster prior to Sunday's 1 p.m. ET kickoff.

Brown caught three of five targets for 38 yards in Sunday's 24-10 win over the Colts.
Analysis: Lamar Jackson only needed to attempt 23 passes on the afternoon, and while Brown did tie Mark Andrews for the team lead in targets, the modest volume didn't translate into much production. Brown has managed only an 8-98-1 line on 13 targets over the last three games combined, and he'll face another tough matchup in Week 10 against the Patriots, especially if Stephon Gilmore (knee) is able to return to action.

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

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

On track for Sunday
Brown (knee) is expected to play Sunday against the Bengals, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Analysis: The 23-year-old practiced as a full participant Thursday and Friday, so it's not a major surprise he's in line to play Sunday despite being listed as questionable. Brown has yet to catch a touchdown this season and has 16 catches for 242 yards on 26 targets through four games.

Tagged as questionable for Week 5
The Ravens list Brown (knee) as questionable for Sunday's game against the Bengals.
Analysis: Brown followed a limited showing Wednesday with full participation Thursday and Friday, so he's seemingly trending toward playing Sunday. Brown has yet to find paydirt this season, but he's seen consistent involvement in the passing game, logging between six and eight targets through each of the Ravens' first four games.

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

Pops up on injury report
Brown was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice due to a knee injury.
Analysis: Brown wasn't known to have picked up a knee injury coming out of the Ravens' Week 4 win over Washington, but his activity in practice suddenly bears watching as Sunday's game against the Bengals nears. The second-year wideout showed no signs of being slowed by the knee issue against the Football Team, hauling in four balls for 86 yards to bounce back from consecutive down weeks in which he combined for 55 yards on seven catches.

Racks up 86 yards
Brown tallied four receptions on eight targets for 86 yards in the team's Week 4 win over Washington.
Analysis: Brown delivered a pair of receptions over 30 yards in the first half to account for the majority of his production in the game. He set up the Ravens' first score of the contest with a 33-yard catch, beating Washington's secondary down the field before being tackled at the one. Due to Baltimore's run-heavy approach on offense, Brown has failed to rack up large volume through four games. However, he's made the most of the chance he's received, as five of his 12 receptions have gone for 20 yards…read more

Shut down in loss
Brown caught two of six targets for 13 yards Monday against the Chiefs.
Analysis: The Ravens could not get the passing game, or indeed their entire offense, in gear Monday and Brown was no exception. He was shut down by the Kansas City secondary, registering catches of just six and seven yards after having a catch of at least 20 yards in each of the first two weeks. Brown gets a chance to bounce back Sunday against Washington, though the NFC East squad has been tough on opposing receivers thus far this season.

Brown caught five of six targets for 42 yards Sunday against the Texans.
Analysis: Baltimore went to the air just 24 times Sunday, including just seven times in the second half. Even with the lower volume, Brown led the team in targets, receptions and yards Sunday. Brown has played 81 percent of the team's snaps, a significant uptick from the 60.4 percent he played as a rookie while working his way back from foot surgery. Not only is Brown playing a higher volume of snaps, he's also dominating the Baltimore passing game. He's seeing 113.0 air yards per game and has accounted…read more

Eclipses 100-yard mark in opener
Brown caught five of his six targets for 101 receiving yards during Sunday's 38-6 win against Cleveland.
Analysis: The second-year man out of Oklahoma was able to take advantage of a matchup against a depleted Browns secondary, kicking off his prolific afternoon with a 47-yard catch on Baltimore's third offensive drive of the day. Brown's impact would remain evident for the remainder of the first half, as he was able to rack up three more catches of 13-plus yards during the second quarter. He garnered just two targets during the second half, but that is of minimal concern to fantasy GMs, as the Ravens were…read more

Brown said Wednesday that he's up to 180 pounds, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Brown played around 170 during his final season at Oklahoma in 2018 and weighed 166 at last year's combine, but he apparently dropped all the way to 157 pounds by the end of his rookie campaign. Lisfranc surgery last January likely played a role, impacting his offseason routine and even his practice participation throughout the season.

Healthy for training camp
Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson said Wednesday that Brown (foot) is 100 percent healthy, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: While the onus is usually on the coaching staff to provide injury updates, there's little reason to doubt the reigning MVP's comments about his top wideout. After Baltimore was eliminated from the playoffs this past season, Brown had a screw removed from the foot that he previously required surgery on in January 2019, so he's had plenty of time to recover before training camp. Back in May, he was running routes and catching passes from Jackson, who anticipates a breakout season from the…read more

Brown (foot) has been running routes and catching passes in workouts with quarterback Lamar Jackson.
Analysis: It's a strong indication that Brown emerged without any complications from winter surgery to remove a screw in his left foot. He initially had surgery to repair a Lisfranc injury last January, missing spring practices and the beginning of training camp. Jackson and coach John Harbaugh both mentioned that Brown was never at full strength during his rookie campaign, with the foot injury and an ankle sprain often limiting his participation in practice.

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

Coach John Harbaugh and quarterback Lamar Jackson both said Brown wasn't at full strength during his rookie season, ESPN.com's Jamison Hensley reports.
Analysis: Brown had Lisfranc surgery last January and didn't begin practicing until the very end of July. His snap share trended up each week throughout September, but he then sprained his ankle on the other leg Week 5 at Pittsburgh. When all was said and done, Brown missed two games and played through a 'questionable' tag in seven others, reaching 75 percent snap share on just three occasions.

Stellar effort in upset loss
Brown brought in seven of 11 targets for 126 yards in the Ravens' 28-12 divisional-round loss to the Titans on Saturday.
Analysis: The rookie had a mostly disappointing finish to the regular season, as he'd managed no more than 45 receiving yards in any of his last five games while finding the end zone only once during that span. Brown helped make up for that multi-game lull with a spectacular showing Saturday, albeit in defeat. His reception, receiving yardage and target totals all paced the Ravens for the night, and he had one of the better plays of the game with an impressive one-handed grab in Titans territory in the…read more

Active, but not expected to play
Brown (illness) is active for Sunday's game against the Steelers but isn't expected to play in the contest, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Analysis: The Ravens have already clinched the AFC's No. 1 seed and are expected to lean heavily on a lineup of backup players in a meaningless regular-season finale, so the team's top wideout won't be in store for any work. Brown likely would have been inactive for the contest if the Ravens hadn't already dedicated all seven of those spots to resting or injured players.

Analysis: A late-week addition to the injury report, Brown suddenly finds himself at risk of sitting out the regular-season finale after falling ill. Even if Brown is back to 100 percent health ahead of Sunday's 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff, he could be in store for a smaller role than usual, if he even sees the field at all.

Quiet in Week 16
Brown caught one of two targets for six yards against the Browns.
Analysis: The rookie's up-and-down season was on the downswing Sunday as he saw minimal volume and was not impactful with it. Sunday's outing comes just one week after a strong four-catch, 45-yard performance against the Jets that also included a touchdown. Brown wasn't among the list of players John Harbaugh said would be resting for the season finale against the Steelers. That said, Brown will be catching passes from Robert Griffin and possibly even Trace McSorley as Lamar Jackson will be held out.

Makes touchdown grab in win
Brown secured all four of his targets for 45 yards and a touchdown in the Ravens' 42-21 win over the Jets on Thursday.
Analysis: Brown tied Mark Andrews for the team high in receptions and notched his first touchdown catch since Week 12 when he made a 24-yard scoring grab midway through the third quarter. The rookie hasn't been over the 100-yard mark since Week 1, but his game-breaking speed gives him plenty of upside any time he's on the field. Brown will look to boost his numbers in a Week 16 divisional matchup against the Browns.

Finishes with negative yardage
Brown caught all three of his targets while losing two yards during Sunday's 24-17 win over the Bills.
Analysis: Facing a difficult matchup, Brown managed a long gain of just five yards. Unfortunately, he lost yardage on his other two grabs and finished with a rather unique stat line. In fact, Brown finished with just one yard a week ago and hardly looks like the explosive downfield threat he was early in the season. He will look to get back on track Thursday against the Jets.

Non-factor in win
Brown caught one of two targets for one yard in Sunday's 20-17 win over San Francisco.
Analysis: Brown relies on big chunk plays, and there weren't many of those to be found in this battle of disciplined defenses. Quarterback Lamar Jackson only threw for 105 yards in this one, so there should be better days ahead for the rookie wide receiver, who was coming off his second multi-score game of the season. Brown will have to contend with a stout Buffalo secondary on the road in Week 14.

Catches two touchdowns
Brown caught five of seven targets for 42 yards and two touchdowns in Monday night's 45-6 win over the Rams.
Analysis: Brown and quarterback Lamar Jackson got clicking early, as they teamed up for touchdowns on back-to-back drives to start the game. The rookie first scored on a six-yard crossing route before later grabbing an 18-yard TD down the seam. He sprinkled in a few more catches afterwards, and Brown actually dropped a third potential touchdown during the second half. That miscue should offer motivation ahead of a crucial matchup against the 49ers in Week 13, but Brown still made a strong impact Monday.

Brown brought in two of four targets for 23 yards in the Ravens' 41-7 win over the Texans on Sunday.
Analysis: Brown once again came into the contest nursing his ankle injury, and he ultimately played just a minimal role in the big win. The speedster may be having trouble gaining separation due to being less than 100 percent, and he's seen no more than five targets in four consecutive contests.

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