NOAH BROWN NEWS

Cleared to play Sunday Brown (knee) is active for Sunday's game against the Titans.

Impact After sitting out Weeks 11 and 12 due to the knee issue, Brown returned to action for the Texans' last two contests, but he failed to record any receptions on seven targets in games against the Broncos and Jets despite playing ample snaps in both contests. Brown remained a limited participant in practice throughout Week 15 prep before taking a questionable tag into the weekend, but the Texans never had much concern about his availability for game day. With top wideout Nico Collins (calf) inactive Sunday, the Texans will likely be counting on Brown for more production coming off his pair of catchless outings. Case Keenum, who is starting at quarterback this week with C.J. Stroud (concussion) sidelined, will be relying on Brown, Robert Woods, Xavier Hutchinson and John Metchie as his top options at receiver.

Expected to suit up Brown (knee), officially listed as questionable, is expected to play Sunday against the Titans, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Impact Brown has played through the knee issue the past two weeks, so it's not surprising that he's expected to do the same in Week 15. Nico Collins (calf) is on the opposite side of questionable per Schefter, meaning Brown could be the top priority for targets from Case Keenum. Neither Collins' nor Brown's status will become official until shortly before the Texans' 1 p.m. ET kickoff.

Still limited Thursday Brown (knee) remained limited in Thursday's practice.

Impact Brown missed Weeks 11 and 12 with the knee injury but has played the last two games and will be needed even more going forward with Tank Dell (ankle) done for the season and Nico Collins now battling a calf injury that is expected to sideline him for Week 15. Brown, however, may also be without C.J. Stroud (concussion) this week against the Titans.

Back at practice Brown (knee) was spotted at practice Wednesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Impact Brown, who Wilson indicates is dealing with a knee contusion, has missed two straight games, but his presence at practice Wednesday offers hope that the wideout could return to action Sunday against the Broncos. The Texans' upcoming injury report is slated to reveal Brown's official participation level.

Impact Brown wasn't able to practice in any fashion this week after he emerged from his big performance in the Texans' Week 10 win over the Bengals with the injury. Fortunately, the knee concern isn't a significant one, and Brown should have a realistic chance at returning to action Week 12 against the Jaguars on Nov. 26 if he can practice in some fashion leading up to the contest. Over his last two outings, Brown has produced a 13-325-1 receiving line on 14 targets, perhaps cementing himself as a regular in three-wide sets over Robert Woods in the process.

Won't play Sunday Brown (knee) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Cardinals.

Impact Brown, who didn't practice this past week, headed into the contest officially listed as questionable, but he'll sit this one out and target a potential return next weekend against the Jaguars. In the absence of Brown -- who had combined to rack up 13 catches for 325 yards and a TD over his last two games -- Nico Collins, Tank Dell and Robert Woods are available to lead the Texans' Week 11 wideout corps.

Won't play Week 11 Brown (knee) didn't practice Friday and won't play in Sunday's game against the Cardinals, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Impact Brown piled up 325 yards and a touchdown in his previous two games, but he will be unable to build on that momentum against Arizona. Houston's hoping to get fellow wide receiver Nico Collins (calf) back from a one-game absence, while Tank Dell and Robert Woods should both see significant playing time at wide receiver with Brown unavailable. Brown's next chance to play will come in Week 12 against the Jaguars.

Yardage leader against Carolina Brown caught three of five targets for 57 yards in Sunday's 15-13 loss to the Panthers.

Impact Brown led Houston's skill players in scrimmage yards on a day when the offense never got on track. He's been targeted 10 times over the last two games, although the Texans have not had a full complement of WRs healthy during that time. Tank Dell missed the previous game due to a concussion, while Robert Woods (foot) did not play Sunday. Dell emerged during Brown's four-week absence due to a groin injury, and it's not clear how workloads will be split behind Nico Collins when all the team's wideouts are available.
