Coach Sean McDermott said Monday that Brown tweaked his ankle during Sunday's 32-30 loss to the Cardinals, Maddy Glab of the Bills' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
McDermott said he'll have more information about Brown's injury "in the coming days and weeks." Buffalo will get a bye Week 11, giving Brown the benefit of some additional days of rest before his next opportunity to retake the field. The 30-year-old was hobbled by a knee injury through much of the first half of the season, but he recently got back on track, accumulating 14 catches for 171 yards over the last two games.

Brown (ankle) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Cardinals.
EDGE Analysis
Brown's injury occurred in the fourth quarter, so he'll need to recover quickly to return to this one. The wide receiver has battled a knee injury this season but was just getting back on track, with six catches for 72 yards on eight targets prior to injuring his ankle.

Brown (knee/rest) practiced fully Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Brown's full participation Thursday seems to confirm that Wednesday's absence was maintenance-related. Coming off his most productive effort of the campaign, which saw him log eight catches on 11 targets for 99 yards (all season highs) in last weekend's win over the Seahawks, Brown will look to carry that positive momentum into Sunday's game against the Cardinals.

Brown's absence from Wednesday's practice was listed as due to knee/rest.
EDGE Analysis
It's an acknowledgement that Brown continues to manage a knee issue, but we'd expect him back at practice Thursday, likely in a full capacity. He's coming off an eight-catch, 99-yard effort in the Bills' Week 9 win over the Seahawks

Brown wasn't spotted at practice Wednesday, Joe Buscaglia of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Brown's absence from the first Week 10 practice comes after he logged 53 of 68 offensive snaps Sunday in the Bills' win over Seattle, during which he caught eight of his 11 targets for 99 yards. With no reported setbacks coming of that contest, the wideout may simply be getting a rest day, as he's been managing a knee issue.

Brown caught eight of 11 targets for 99 yards during Sunday's 44-34 win over the Seahawks.
EDGE Analysis
Brown finished second behind only Stefon Diggs in targets, catches and receiving yards as he set new season highs across the board. He broke off a long gain of 33 yards and added a couple of other impressive chunk plays while consistently beating the depleted Seattle secondary. This was especially promising for Brown, considering he caught just one of two targets a week ago and hadn't reached 50 receiving yards since Week 2. He'll look to build on this promising effort next Sunday against the Cardinals.

Brown (knee) practiced fully for the second straight day Friday and doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Seahawks.
EDGE Analysis
Brown looks good to go for what could be an offensive slugfest Sunday. He'll be suiting up in back-to-back games for the first time since Weeks 3 and 4 after the knee injury had been an off-and-on concern for the wideout over the past month.

Brown (knee) practiced fully Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Brown sat out Wednesday's session as he continues to manage a pre-existing knee issue that has sidelined him for a pair games to date. Though he's logged starter's snaps over the last two contests that he's suited up for, Brown has turned in back-to-back disappointing fantasy efforts, en route to hauling in just one of his six targets for 21 yards in that span. He's therefore a risky fantasy roll Sunday against the Seahawks, but it's not hard to imagine him picking up the pace as the season rolls along, once he moves past his knee issue.

Brown (knee) is back on the practice field Thursday, Joe Buscaglia of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Brown has been hampered by the knee issue for several weeks -- just because he's back on the practice field doesn't mean he's anywhere close to being 100 percent. We'll have a better feeling once he starts showing production on the field, as Brown is still muddling through a period of either missed games/practices or poor production on the field when he is out there. All that said, at some point he might be a sneaky value play off the scrap heap in fantasy leagues.

Brown was a non-participant in practice Wednesday due to a knee injury.
EDGE Analysis
Brown is likely managing the pre-existing knee issue that has sidelined him for two games this season, though it's possible he could be dealing with a setback that affects his status for Sunday's game against the Seahawks. If he's able to return to the field Thursday in any capacity, the wideout's Week 9 outlook in terms of his availability would brighten.
