Head coach Bruce Arians said Brown (knee) is already running routes at full speed in individual drills, Kyle Odegard of the Cardinals' official site reports. "We're keeping him out of the team drills because I don't want to see him cut, but he's running routes full speed," Arians said. "He looks great. Actually, his computer numbers are faster than they've ever been."
Brown is ahead of schedule in his recovery from a torn ACL suffered in late October, with his partial participation in OTAs suggesting he could be ready for team drills by training camp. While Larry Fitzgerald and John Brown are locked in as the top two wide receivers, Jaron Brown might get a chance to push J.J. Nelson for the No. 3 job. On the other hand, Jaron Brown could find himself battling just to make the roster if he doesn't quickly return to pre-injury form, as the Cardinals have impressive depth at the back end of their wideout depth chart, where third-round rookie Chad Williams and converted running back Andre Ellington are joined by veterans Brittan Golden, Jeremy Ross and Aaron Dobson.
