Brown (toe) didn't take part in practice Wednesday, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Turf toe is a notoriously difficult ailment to overcome, and it appears Brown is experiencing just that at the moment. With no practice reps for the second straight week, he's in danger of missing his second game in a row and fourth overall this season Sunday against the Rams. If Brown is inactive again, the receiving corps would be whittled down to Larry Fitzgerald, Jaron Brown, J.J. Nelson, Chad Williams and potentially Brittan Golden (groin), the latter of whom also didn't practice Wednesday.

Brown (toe) will not play in Sunday's game against the Jaguars, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Cardinals coach Bruce Arians hinted at this outcome earlier in the week when he said Brown might miss some time. Arians also said he wants to give other wideouts some opportunities, specifically mentioning rookie third-round pick Chad Williams. With the Cardinals essentially out of the playoff race and Brown already slumping, it's hard to imagine the team would be in any rush to get him back in the lineup. There's also a chance Brown will have a limited role whenever he returns.

Brown (toe) didn't take part in practice Wednesday, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Brown has bucked trends the last two weeks, sitting out first with a back injury Sunday and this week due to turf toe. Previously, his sickle-cell trait induced a number of lower-body ailments the last two seasons. By all indications, head coach Bruce Arians is disappointed with his receiving corps as a whole outside of Larry Fitzgerald, so rookie Chad Williams is expected to experience an increased snap count moving forward, starting Sunday against the Jaguars. Consequently, Brown may be a regular inactive until his health woes are behind him, at which point he'll strive to improve upon a dreadful catch rate of 40.4 percent.

Brown has turf toe and could miss some time, Scott Bair of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

EDGE Analysis

It wouldn't be a huge loss for the Arizona offense, considering Brown has caught only seven of 20 targets for 103 yards over the past four games. Per Kyle Odegard of the team's official site, Cardinals coach Bruce Arians is already talking about getting third-round rookie Chad Williams some opportunities in Sunday's game against the Jaguars. With the team falling out of contention as Brown prepares to hit free agency amidst a second straight disappointing season, it makes sense for Arians to give some other players a look over the final six games. Even if he avoids an injury-related absence, Brown doesn't figure to see an uptick from the handful of targets per game he's been getting of late.

Brown (back) is active for Sunday's game at Houston.

EDGE Analysis

In preparation for this outing, Brown took part in a pair of limited practices Wednesday and Friday, which was enough to get the all-clear from the Cardinals' training staff. He'll look to turn his season around against a Texans defense that has been torched by wideouts to the tune of seven touchdowns and 18.3 YPC over the last three contests.

Brown (back) is expected to play Sunday against Texans, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter.

EDGE Analysis

Brown was limited in practice Wednesday and Friday this week, and while it sounds like he'll be able to give it a go Sunday, it's worth noting he hasn't caught more than four passes in any game this season while failing to get even three receptions in each of the past three.

Brown (back) returned to a limited practice Friday and is listed as questionable for Sunday's game in Houston, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Brown sandwiched a pair of limited practices around Thursday's absence. He's probably on track for Sunday's game, but he hasn't caught more than two passes in a contest since Week 6. An absence would free up more snaps for J.J. Nelson in an offense that will be led by Blaine Gabbert this week.

Brown (back) was a non-participant at Thursday's practice, Kyle Odegard of the Cardinals' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Brown's downgrade from a limited session Wednesday isn't exactly an encouraging sign for the oft-injured wide receiver. If he's unable to overcome the back issue in time for Sunday's game at Houston, the Cardinals will rely more on Jaron Brown and J.J. Nelson behind top option Larry Fitzgerald.

Brown was limited in practice Wednesday by a back injury, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Making his first appearance on the injury report since Week 6, Brown nonetheless avoided getting tabbed with a lower-body ailment, which has been the bane of his existence the last two seasons. He'll be afforded two more chances to return to a full practice by week's end, at which point the Cardinals will determine his odds to suit up Sunday in Houston.

Brown brought in two of six targets for 27 yards in Thursday's 22-16 loss to the Seahawks.

EDGE Analysis

Brown was inefficient with his opportunities for the second consecutive contest, and he's now totaled just three receptions on 10 targets over that stretch. The speedster is always a threat to break off a long reception, but with the inaccurate Drew Stanton behind center, he's likely to remain a hit-or-miss fantasy option each week. He'll look to up his catch totals versus the Texans on the road in Week 11.
