Isaac Brown News, Rumors, Updates - Louisville Cardinals

Dealing with lower leg injury Brown (undisclosed) suffered a lower leg injury against Bowling Green and his availability for Week 5 against Pittsburgh remains up in the air, per Jody Demling of 247Sports.com.

Impact Brown was hampered by a lower leg injury against the Falcons that limited his involvement to just one carry in the Week 4 win. The star tailback is now reportedly "trying to heal up," along with fellow Louisville tailback Duke Watson, but head coach Jeff Brohm said he won't know their statuses for the Pitt game until later in the week. Brown has 19 carries for 248 yards and three scores this fall.

Slowed by injury versus Falcons Brown (undisclosed) was slowed by an injury against Bowling Green, but head coach Jeff Brohm is hopeful that he'll be healthy for Week 5, per Jody Demling of 247Sports.com.

Impact Brown logged just one carry in the win over the Falcons, and the fact he was dealing with an injury explains the minimal usage. The starting running back now has six days to work back from the unknown injury before a Week 5 tilt at Pittsburgh. He's logged 19 carries for 248 yards and three touchdowns so far this season.

Goes for over 100 yards again Brown accrued 12 carries for 104 yards and one touchdown and reeled in all three targets for 14 yards during Friday's 28-14 victory versus James Madison.

Impact Brown has posted back-to-back 100-yard performances to start the season for Louisville. The star tailback was at it again versus James Madison, scoring his third touchdown of the season and reeling in each of his first three targets. Brown doubled his carries from Week 1, when he only needed six touches to reach 126 yards against FCS Eastern Kentucky. Louisville figures to be very intentional about when and how Brown sees the ball, but he's a simply a monster performance waiting to happen.

126 yards on just six carries Brown posted six rushes for 126 yards and two touchdowns during Saturday's 51-17 win over Eastern Kentucky.

Impact Louisville let its star halfback take six carries, which he turned into 126 yards (a stunning 21 yards-per-carry!). He scored a touchdown on a third of his carries. Granted, this came against an FCS opponent, but all of the hype surrounding Brown after his breakout freshman year was backed up and then some in the opener. He'll be incredibly dangerous all season long.

Officially a go Saturday Brown (shoulder) will be available for Saturday's contest versus Pitt, Matt McGavic of SI.com reports.

Impact Brown was in uniform and warming up prior to the contest, so it's not particularly shocking that the freshman back will give it a go. Duke Watson also played well after Brown's departure last week, so it's plausible Watson will still see some work behind Brown, though Brown figures to be the first on the field Saturday.

Warming up, off injury report Brown (shoulder) was spotted warming up and isn't listed on Louisville's injury report, per 247Sports.com.

Impact All signs are pointing towards Brown playing in Week 13. The true freshman tailback, who's led Louisville's backfield with 803 rushing yards and seven touchdowns, should be good to go against the Panthers. If not, expect Duke Watson's touches to increase with Maurice Turner (ankle) also questionable in the Cardinals' backfield.
