Analysis: Browning has been plagued by injuries this season -- he's missed four of the Broncos' nine games -- but now he'll get a clean slate with the Cardinals.

Browning recorded 10 tackles (six solo) in Sunday's 15-10 loss to the Bengals.
Analysis: Browning's 10 total tackles were a team-high in the contest, as well as being his most tackles in a game this season.

With a Week 14 matchup against a struggling Lions offense, Browning has a good opportunity to play an impactful role on defense and improve upon his recent performance.

Ruled out for Week 7
Browning (concussion) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Browns, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.
Analysis: Browning exited Sunday's loss to the Raiders with a concussion, and he'll be unable to play following Denver's short week of practice. The 22-year-old has played mainly on special teams this year, so his absence shouldn't significantly impact the team's defensive plans.

Inactive for Week 4
Browning (back) is inactive for Sunday's contest against the Ravens.

Returns from PUP list
Browning (lower leg) passed a physical examination and was activated from the PUP list Monday, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.
Analysis: Browning has been sidelined for the first few weeks of camp after suffering a lower-leg injury during OTAs, but he's now back at practice for the Broncos.

Struggling with rehab
Browning (lower leg) had a setback during his recovery and does not have a timetable to return, Zac Stevens of TheDNVR.com reports.
Analysis: Browning was reported to be close to returning a week ago, but it appears he has suffered a setback during his recovery. Head coach Vic Fangio said the 2021 third-round pick "is a little stuck" and that he is not sure when he'll be back. During the combine, the rookie posted a 4.55 40-yard dash at 245 pounds, and could emerge as an every-down linebacker in the NFL.

Expected back at practice soon
Browning (lower leg) is expected to resume practicing this week, Troy Renck of Denver 7 News reports.
Analysis: Browning is recovering from a lower leg injury suffered during OTAs, but it looks like it will only be a matter of days before the Broncos activate him from the PUP list. It's unclear how much playing time the rookie third-round pick will earn right off the back, but in college Browning did show off the skill set necessary to develop into an every-down player at the NFL level.

Picks up leg injury
Browning won't participate in OTAs the rest of the week due to a lower leg injury, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.
Analysis: The 22-year-old apparently suffered the injury during rookie minicamp in mid-May, and it's not much of a surprise to see Denver showing caution with their rookie third-round pick. The specifics of the injury remain unclear, but Browning will have nearly two months to recover before the start of training camp.
