11 A.J. Brown WR

Brown recorded six receptions on 10 targets for 83 yards and a touchdown in the Titans' wild-card loss to the Ravens.

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.

Brown's only on-field work this week occurred at Wednesday's walk-through, leading to a limited listing on the injury report. The Titans held him out of drills entirely Thursday and Friday, after which the wide receiver told Terry McCormick of TitanInsider.com that he didn't "get as many reps" as he would have liked, but he instead turned to "film study" in order "to make the most of my opportunities." Despite the lack of reps, Brown is set to take on his typical role in the offense, which equated to 70 catches (on 106 targets) for 1,075 yards and 11 touchdowns in 14 appearances this season.

Brown (knee/hand) wasn't present at the portion of Friday's practice open to the media, Turron Davenport of ESPN.com reports.

If Brown goes down as a non-participant Friday, it'll mark back-to-back absences after being listed as limited on Wednesday's estimated practice report. Knee and hand issues are to blame, with the former likely resulting from his brief first-quarter departure in the regular-season finale. The Titans will reveal Brown's potential availability for Sunday's wild-card matchup with the Ravens later Friday.

Brown was limited Wednesday, but his practice reps have been managed for quite some time now, so his downgrade in participation Thursday isn't necessarily a red flag. With that in mind, it wouldn't surprise us to see the wideout approach Sunday's playoff game against the Ravens minus an injury designation upon the posting of Friday's final injury report.

The Titans listed Brown as a limited participant on Wednesday's estimated practice report with hand and knee injuries, Turron Davenport of ESPN.com reports.

Brown had been managing an ankle issue down the stretch, but it didn't stop him from playing 64 of 71 offensive snaps in the Titans' Week 17 win over the Texans, during which he recorded a season-high 10 catches (on 11 targets) for 151 yards and a touchdown. 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.

Brown caught 10 of 11 targets for 151 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 41-38 win over the Texans.

The Titans got a scare on their opening drive when Brown appeared to injure his knee, but he quickly returned to action and wound up leading the team in catches and receiving yards. Brown's last grab of the day was arguably his most important -- after Houston had tied the game with only 18 seconds remaining, Ryan Tannehill found his favorite option on a 52-yard strike to set Tennessee up for the winning, and AFC South-clinching, field goal. Brown will now get ready for a clash with the Ravens next Sunday in the wild-card round.

Brown thus is good to go for Sunday's regular-season finale against the Texans and in line to remain a key component of the Titans' Week 17 passing attack. Through 13 games to date, he's been a reliable fantasy contributor, having logged 60 catches (on 95 targets) for 924 yards and 10 TDs.

Brown has been managing an ankle issue for the past three weeks, but he hasn't missed a game in December as a result. His absence from Wednesday's practice is likely more of a maintenance day, as the Titans look to preserve the wideout's health heading into a big Week 17 matchup with the Texans. If his pattern of activity in recent weeks is any indication, Brown should return to full practice participation no later than Friday.

Brown (ankle) had four receptions (eight targets) for 43 yards in Sunday's 40-14 loss to the Packers.

The Titans' aerial attack sputtered in the snowy conditions at Lambeau Field, resulting in just 121 total passing yards. Brown also had to deal with a tough matchup against Jaire Alexander for most of the contest, and the cold weather probably didn't help the ankle injury he had been battling recently. The stars just weren't aligned for the breakout receiver to have one of his usual strong fantasy performances. Brown will be in prime position to have a bounce-back performance next week when the Titans take on the Texans in a dome. The 23-year-old hit pay dirt twice against Houston when the two clubs met back in Week 6.

Brown (ankle) doesn't carry a Week 16 injury designation after being listed as a full practice participant Friday, Turron Davenport of ESPN.com reports.

Though Brown continues to manage an ankle issue, he'll be out there Sunday night against the Packers and should be able to handle his normal allotment of snaps. He's been a reliable fantasy contributor when available this season and heads into Week 16 action having scored TDs in four of his last five games.

Brown (ankle) will return to practice Friday, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

This would seem to confirm that Brown's absence from practice Thursday was a matter of routine rep management. Friday's final injury report may go one step further and officially clear the wideout for Sunday night's game against the Packers.

Given Brown's recent practice trends since he's been managing an ankle issue, his Thursday downgrade to DNP isn't really alarming. Look for the wideout to return to the field Friday and then quite likely approach Sunday night's game against the Packers minus an injury designation.

Though Brown wasn't spotted on the field during the open portion of the practice, he was evidently able to get some work in afterward. Since he continues to manage an ankle issue, it's possible that the wideout will be rested Thursday, but expect Brown to gain clearance to play before Sunday's game against the Packers rolls around.

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.

Brown recorded five receptions on six targets for 44 yards and a touchdown in Week 15 against the Lions.

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.

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.

Brown sat out Thursday's session, but his return to the field Friday puts him on track to play Sunday against the Lions. The Titans' final injury report of the week will clarify whether the wideout approaches the contest with a designation.

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.

Brown (ankle) was a limited participant in practice Wednesday, Turron Davenport of ESPN.com reports.

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 for this weekend's game against the Lions, barring a setback.

Brown recorded seven receptions on nine targets for 112 yards and a touchdown in Week 14 against the Jaguars.

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.
