Missing second consecutive game Brown (thigh) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against Miami.

Impact Brown will miss a second consecutive game due to the thigh injury, and he was unable to practice in any capacity throughout the week. Jordan Akins and rookie Brevin Jordan, who found the end zone in his NFL debut last week, will continue to split the workload at tight end with Brown sidelined.

Misses practice Wednesday Brown (thigh) did not participate in practice Wednesday.

Impact Brown missed the Texans' Week 8 game against the Rams after getting injured in practice. Brown will try to hit the practice field Thursday, but if he can't his Week 9 status against the Dolphins will definitely be in Jeopardy. Should Brown miss Week 9, Jordan Akins and more so Brevin Jordan will step into larger roles.

Uncertain for Week 9 Brown (thigh) may not play Week 9 against the Dolphins, Brooks Kubena of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Impact Brown sat out Week 8's loss to the Rams after sustaining an injury during the practice week leading up to the game. The injury allowed the Texans to get a look at rookie tight end Brevin Jordan, who made his NFL debut and scored a touchdown.

Texans looking ahead after latest loss extends skid to 7

Houston's skid is up to seven games after Sunday's 38-22 loss to the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday

NOVEMBER 1, 2021 • Associated Press

Out Week 8 Brown (thigh) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Rams.

Impact Brown appears to have picked up the thigh injury during the week of practice; he wasn't included on the Texans' initial Week 8 report before he was listed as a limited participant at Thursday's session and a non-participant Friday. Though he's only been a tertiary option in the Texans' passing attack, Brown's absence will open up more reps at tight end for Jordan Akins, who profiles as more of a receiving threat than the blocking-oriented Brown.

Questionable after missed practice Brown (thigh) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Rams after failing to practice Friday, Brooks Kubena of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Impact Brown's trending in the wrong direction, as he failed to practice Friday after being limited Thursday. If the burly tight end can't go come game day, Jordan Akins would likely have a near-monopoly on snaps at tight end, though neither option has been effective as a pass-catcher in their current timeshare.

OCTOBER 29, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Added to injury report Brown (thigh) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.

Impact Brown apparently suffered the injury during practice, as he was a full participant without an injury designation Wednesday. He has hauled in multiple passes each of the last three weeks but has not surpassed 22 receiving yards in any game during that stretch.

OCTOBER 29, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Catches all three targets Brown caught three of three targets for 11 yards in Sunday's 31-5 loss to the Cardinals.

Impact Since catching four passes on five targets for 67 yards in a Week 1 win over Jacksonville, Brown has eight catches for 47 yards and zero targets in the red zone over the last six games. During that stretch, the Texans have just seven red-zone appearances, the area where tight ends typically accrue their most fantasy value. His main competition at tight end, Jordan Akins, caught both of his targets for 13 yards.

OCTOBER 25, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Logs pair of catches Brown caught two of three targets for eight yards in Sunday's 31-3 loss to the Colts.

Impact It was another workmanlike game for Brown, who led Houston's tight ends in snaps while serving as the best blocker among the position group. He remains the snap count leader at tight end, but Jordan Akins is the target leader and bigger threat when Houston's forced to throw.

OCTOBER 18, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Good to go for Week 6 Brown (shoulder) doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Colts.

Impact Brown was able to work his way off the injury report by progressing throughout the week. He missed practice Wednesday before practicing in a limited capacity Thursday and finally upgraded to full participation Friday. Brown and Jordan Akins should continue to split reps at tight end.

Sluggish starts have Colts, Texans looking to change course

The Indianapolis Colts have been through this scenario

OCTOBER 14, 2021 • Associated Press

Resumes practicing Brown (shoulder) returned to practice Thursday.

Impact Brown sat out Wednesday's practice, so his return to the field Thursday -- albeit in a limited fashion -- bodes well for his chances of suiting up Sunday against the Colts. The tight end caught two of his four targets for 22 yards in the Texans' Week 5 loss to the Patriots, and he overall has compiled a modest 7-95-0 stat line through five contests.

OCTOBER 14, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Nursing shoulder issue Brown didn't practice Wednesday due to a shoulder injury.

Impact Brown apparently picked up the injury during Sunday's loss to the Patriots, when he caught two of four targets for 22 yards while playing 64 percent of the offensive snaps. The 27-year-old will likely need to practice in some capacity Thursday or Friday to have a chance to suit up this weekend.

OCTOBER 13, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Lead TEs in yards Brown caught two of three targets for 22 yards in Sunday's 25-22 loss to New England.

Impact Brown had his best game since Week 1, when he caught four of five targets for 67 yards. Since then, the fourth-year tight end has three catches on six targets for 28 yards. Brown is the position group's snap-count leader through five games, but the offense has largely sputtered since rookie Davis Mills took over at quarterback.

OCTOBER 11, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Not targeted Week 3 Brown played 31 offensive snaps and wasn't targeted during Thursday's 24-9 loss to the Panthers.

Impact Brown caught four of five targets for 67 yards in the season opener, but he failed to catch his lone target across the past two games. Jordan Akins played only three more offensive snaps Thursday but caught four of five targets for 32 yards. The pair is splitting playing time and neither has been consistently involved in the aerial attack through the first three games of the season.

SEPTEMBER 24, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Receives one target Week 2 Brown failed to catch his only target in Sunday's 31-21 loss to the Browns.

Impact Brown dealt with multiple injuries (ankle/shoulder) leading up to Week 2, which is likely the reason he was not as involved in the offense as he was in Week 1. The tight end group also lost Antony Auclair (eye) on Sunday, leaving the Texans with depth questions heading into Thursday's game against Carolina. Pending the status of Brown and Auclair, Jordan Akins could be the primary receiving option at the position and rookie Brevin Jordan could be active for the first time.

SEPTEMBER 20, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Set to play against Browns Brown (ankle/shoulder) is active Week 2 against Cleveland.

Impact Brown ended up with a questionable tag after logging a limited practice Friday, but it won't prevent the second-year Texan from taking the field against the Browns. In what was a positive game script for Houston in Week 1 against the Jaguars, the 6-foot-6 tight end was second among all pass catchers in snap share, ultimately hauling in four passes on five targets for 67 yards.

SEPTEMBER 19, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Officially questionable for Week 2 Brown (ankle/shoulder) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Browns.

Impact Brown delivered a major Week 1 impact with physical blocking in the running game in addition to 67 receiving yards, and he's trending towards suiting up in Week 2 with this upgrade to a limited practice after sitting out Wednesday and Thursday. If Brown plays, he'll likely continue to split tight end reps with Jordan Akins.

SEPTEMBER 17, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Returns to practice Brown (shoulder/ankle) was present for practice Friday, Aaron Wilson of Sportstalk 790 Houston reports.

Impact Wilson suggests that there didn't seem to be any serious concern that the tight end might miss Sunday's game against Cleveland, and Brown's presence at practice Friday supports that notion. The Texans' final injury report of the week will reveal whether Brown heads into the weekend with any sort of injury designation.

SEPTEMBER 17, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Sits for another practice Brown (shoulder/ankle) didn't participate in Thursday's practice, Aaron Wilson of Sportstalk 790 Houston reports.

Impact Brown's back-to-back absences from practice to open Week 2 prep doesn't bode well for his early chances of gaining clearance for Sunday's game against the Browns. The Texans will formally rule on Brown's status after Friday's practice, and if he can't go, Jordan Akins and Brevin Jordan would likely handle the pass-catching responsibilities at the tight end position. Houston could add a more blocking-oriented tight end to the roster if Brown is out, as neither Akins nor Jordan is particularly adept in that area.

SEPTEMBER 16, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Dealing with two injuries Brown missed Wednesday's practice with shoulder and ankle injuries.

Impact An earlier report identified an unspecified upper-body injury as the likely reason for Brown's absence on the heels of his surprising 4-67-1 receiving line on five targets and a 76 percent snap share in the Texans' 37-21 win over Jacksonville in Week 1. He appears to have suffered the injury at the tail end of the game, considering Brown played 11 of 17 snaps in the fourth quarter. An absence for Week 2 at Cleveland would leave more work available for Jordan Akins and Brevin Jordan, though the Texans may also look to add a blocking tight end to the roster. Brown was widely expected to focus on blocking this year, with Akins the likely replacement for third downs and hurry-up scenarios.

SEPTEMBER 15, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Misses practice with injury Brown is absent from Wednesday's practice after suffering an unspecified injury during Sunday's 37-21 win over the Jaguars, Aaron Wilson of Sportstalk 790 Houston reports.

Impact Brown is believed to be dealing an upper-body injury that he must have sustained near the end of the game. He was one of many surprise stars in Houston's Week 1 triumph, catching four of five targets for 67 yards on a 76 percent snap share. He isn't likely to play that many snaps in games where the Texans throw the ball more often, but Brown at least appears to have forced a timeshare with the receiving-focused Jordan Akins. An absence for Week 2 at Cleveland would leave more snaps for Akins and rookie Brevin Jordan, but the Texans might also sign another blocking tight end to replace Brown.

SEPTEMBER 15, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

More than blocker Brown caught four of five targets for 67 yards in Sunday's 37-21 win over the Jaguars.

Impact Brown had a nice run to finish out the 2020 season for Houston, but he was not exepcted to a significant role in the passing game this season. He played 59 snaps (76 percent), tied Danny Amendola for second among targeted receivers, and was second in receiving yards. The Week 1 performance is a surprising development for a player considered to be a blocking tight end. Last season's primary receiving tight end, Jordan Akins, was targeted twice (zero catches) and played fewer snaps (47).
