Pharaoh Brown - Page 8 - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

Week 1 starter Brown was named the starter at tight end for Sunday's season opener against the Jaguars, Brooks Kubena of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Impact The Texans are expected to use all three of their tight ends, but Brown is considered the best blocker of the bunch. As the plan is to establish a ground game and rely heavily on it, Brown gets the starting nod over Jordan Akins and rookie Brevin Jordan. At 6-foot-6, the 258-pound Brown could be a helpful target in the red zone, an area the Texans would like to improve upon in 2021.

Three targets in loss Brown did not catch any of his three targets in Saturday's 23-16 loss to the Buccaneers in preseason Week 3.

Impact Brown ends the preseason without a catch, but that will not matter when it comes time to finalize the 53-man roster. He's the best blocker in the tight end room, and Brown could be a weekly starter for a team looking to establish a run identity.

Starts Saturday Brown started at tight end for Saturday's 20-14 win over Dallas in preseason Week 2.

Impact Brown and Jordan Akins each made their preseason debuts Saturday and neither was targeted. Akins entered training camp atop the tight end depth chart, but Brown is considered the better blocker of the two and could be the starter for an offense that's expected to run more than it did in 2020.

Tops TE depth chart Brown is listed as the top tight end on the unofficial depth chart, Brooks Kubena of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Impact Brown has impressed in practice recently and, as last year's primary tight end Jordan Akins (leg) has missed the last two days, it appeared Brown might be the starter come Saturday against the Packers.

Impact Brown, who entered camp on the reserve/COVID-19 list, was activated last Tuesday and is working his way back to full health. The 6-foot-6, 258-pounder is the biggest tight end on the roster, and he could be a force near the goal line and as a blocker. Although he's still not in optimal shape, Brown did make a nice play in Saturday night's practice session, catching a red-zone pass from Tyrod Taylor for a touchdown.

Returns from NFI list The Texans activated Brown (undisclosed) from the non-football injury list Tuesday, NFL reporter Aaron Wilson reports.

Impact Brown spent just under a week on the NFI list. Now healthy, Brown can make his first appearance at training camp and begin competing for reserve reps at the tight end position.

Begins camp on NFI list The Texans placed Brown on the non-football injury list Wednesday with an unspecified issue, NFL reporter Aaron Wilson reports.

Impact Brown re-signed with Houston on a one-year, $2.2 million deal in the spring, but he's not healthy entering training camp. The 27-year-old appeared in 13 games in 2020 and caught 14 passes for 163 yards and two touchdowns.

Scores in finale Brown caught five of five targets for 48 yards and one touchdown in Sunday's 41-38 loss to the Titans.

Impact Brown recorded season highs in targets, catches and yards, topping Houston's crowded tight end position. While Jordan Akins was considered the primary receiver among the tight ends and Darren Fells his backup, Brown took on a higher profile over the second half of the season. He finished with career highs in targets (16), receptions (14), yards (163) and touchdowns (2). The Texans like Brown's versatility, lining him up at fullback and split wide at times, but the 26-year-old becomes a restricted free agent this offseason while Akins and Fells are under contract.

TE snap leader in loss Brown caught his lone target for 29 yards and led Houston's tight ends with 27 snaps in Sunday's 37-31 loss to the Bengals.

Impact Known primarily for his blocking skills, Brown has impressed coaches with his versatility, Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle reports. He's capable of lining up as a traditional tight end, splitting out wide or moving into the backfield at fullback. "He finds ways to make it work and to excel at it. I'm very pleased with Pharaoh. He does a really good job in both the run game and pass game. He's just a good football player," said offensive coordinator Tim Kelly. Brown has nine receptions on 11 targets for 115 yards in 12 games.

Takes full Thursday reps Brown (ankle) was a full participant during the Texans' practice session Thursday.

Impact Brown popped up on the injury report with an ankle issue Wednesday, but he's quickly back to taking full repetitions as Houston prepares to host Cincinnati in Week 16. A concussion kept the Oregon product inactive Dec. 13 for a matchup against the Bears, but it doesn't appear the recent ankle injury will cost Brown any time.

Ankle injury surfaces Brown (ankle) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.

Impact This is a new injury for Brown, and it makes his status uncertain for Week 16. He has two more sessions to upgrade to full speed to ensure he'll be in the lineup in Sunday's game against the Bengals. If Brown's unable to go, Kahale Warring should see more reps behind Jordan Akins and Darren Fells.

Back to work Wednesday Brown (concussion) was a full participant during Wednesday's practice.

Impact Brown sat out last week's loss to the Bears due to the concussion, but he appears on track for a return. Brown has accumulated seven catches for 75 yards and a touchdown through 10 games, chipping as a reserve tight end and on special teams. Now healthy, expect Brown to assume his usual No. 2 role at tight end behind starter Jordan Akins for Sunday's game against the Colts.

Impact Brown suffered the concussion in last week's loss to the Colts, and appears to still be in concussion protocol. The Oregon product likely will need to practice in some fashion this week to have a chance to play in Sunday's game against the Bears. If Brown is forced to sit, Darren Fells and Kahale Warring would be the tight end options behind starter Jordan Akins.

Impact The 26-year-old didn't receive a target before going down with the potential concussion. Brown won't be able to return to Sunday's contest if the concussion is confirmed. Jordan Akins and Darren Fells should operate as Houston's top-two tight ends.

Leads TEs in snaps Browns played 30 snaps and was not targeted in Thursday's 41-25 win over Detroit.

Impact Brown led the position group in snaps, but it was a slim margin as Darren Fells (28 snaps) and Jordan Akins (26) also had significant run. And Houston added a fourth tight end to the mix when Kahale Warring was activated from injured reserve. One week after the position group tied a season-high with 11 targets, the four tight ends combined for three targets and zero catches.
