Brown (Achilles/toe/hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Broncos.

EDGE Analysis

Brown will sit for a second straight week and doesn't seem especially likely to return for the regular-season finale. Despite battling through injuries all season, he's tied for the league lead in tackles (127), giving the Redskins an excellent return on their one-year investment. Martrell Spaight took advantage of Brown's absence with eight tackles in last week's 20-15 win over the Cardinals.

Brown (Achilles/toe/hamstring) didn't practice Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Brown is following the same practice regimen for a second straight week, which implies a second DNP in a row could be around the corner. Granted, he'll have one more session to make an impact on the Redskins' training staff, but if last week's trend continues through Friday, the defense will turn to Martell Spaight next to typical starter Zach Vigil at inside linebacker.

Brown (Achilles/toe/hamstring) was a non-participant at Wednesday's practice.

EDGE Analysis

Brown has attempted to play through the pain since mid-November, but it caught up with him Week 14, when he was carted from the field in the second half. Prior to a DNP this past Sunday, he was tagged with four separate body parts on the injury report, so the lack of "hip" this week is at least a small step in the right direction. On Wednesday, he received an encouraging word from head coach Jay Gruden, who told JP Finlay of NBC Sports Washington "there is a chance" Brown returns to action Sunday against the Broncos. If he does, Brown will be looking to fend off the Packers' Blake Martinez and the Browns' Joe Schobert for the league lead in tackles.

Brown (illness/toe/Achilles/hip) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Cardinals.

EDGE Analysis

Brown has played through an Achilles injury for much of the season, but the addition of three more issues will cause his first absence of the year. His toe injury seems to be the biggest problem, given that he was spotted wearing a walking boot at the team facility Thursday. The Redskins haven't ruled the league's leading tackler out beyond Sunday, but they also don't have much incentive to be overly aggressive without the possibility of earning a playoff berth. Martrell Spaight likely will start next to Zach Vigil at inside linebacker come Sunday. Neither is likely to match Brown's usual IDP production.

Brown (illness/toe/Achilles/hip) was absent from practice Thursday, JP Finlay of NBC Sports Washington reports.

EDGE Analysis

It appears the toe is the major concern at this stage for Brown, who was still moving around in a walking boot Thursday, according to Kimberley A. Martin of The Washington Post. Per Finlay, Redskins head coach Jay Gruden said that Brown could play Sunday against the Cardinals even if he's only able to practice once this week, though the linebacker will need to make "pretty significant" progress from where he's currently at on the health front.

Brown (Achilles, hip, illness, toe) did not participate at the Redskins practice Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Brown sustained the toe injury in Sunday's loss to the Chargers, and it's unsurprising to see him sitting out given his four listed injuries. The 28-year-old has undergone an MRI exam, and while the specifics are not known the issues don't appear to be season-ending, but he could still miss a week of action, John Keim of ESPN.com reports.

Brown (foot) will undergo an MRI exam to determine the severity of his injury, Master Tesfatsion of The Washington Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

Brown totaled 10 tackles (five solo) prior to sustaining the injury in the second half of Sunday's loss to the Chargers. The 28-year-old has been the anchor in the middle of the Redskins' defense this season and will hope to glean some good news over the next few days.

Brown is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Chargers with a foot injury.

EDGE Analysis

Brown exited in the second half of Sunday's game and came into the day dealing with Achilles and hamstring injuries. It seems unlikely for the 28-year-old to return given the Redskins are on their way to a blowout loss to the Chargers

Brown (hamstring/Achilles) is active for Sunday's game against the Chargers.

EDGE Analysis

The Achilles issue in particular has been bothering Brown for nearly a month, but the linebacker has yet to miss any games as a result. It's not expected that either injury will limit Brown's snap count Sunday, which should make him one of the more appealing IDP options at his position this week. The 28-year-old continues to lead the NFL in tackles (117) and has also contributed 2.5 sacks through 12 games.

Brown (hamstring/Achilles) is listed as questionable for Sunday's matchup with the Chargers.

EDGE Analysis

There isn't much question about Brown's availability, as he's fended off an Achilles issue and suited up for each of the past three games. The NFL's leader with 117 tackles, he's averaged seven stops per contest during the aforementioned stretch.
