Brown won't practice Wednesday, Joe Buscaglia of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Bills' official injury report will be released later Wednesday and will reveal whether Brown is managing the knee issue that has bothered him in past weeks or if he's slowed by a new injury. Despite playing starter's snaps over his last two outings, Brown has logged back-to-back quiet efforts, catching just one of his six targets for 21 yards in that span.

Brown failed to reel in his only target during Sunday's win over the Patriots.

EDGE Analysis

While it was a big team win for the Bills, they simply can't seem to get Brown going this season between injuries and poor outings. It's become clear that even when he plays, he not 100 percent, while the offense -- in which he was such a key component last season -- now centers around Stefon Diggs. Perhaps Brown is a good buy-low candidate as opponents would seem likely to shade toward Diggs moving forward, but for now Brown's 14-194-2 line between five games and two DNPs makes him a risky proposition. Perhaps he'll see better results as he gets further removed from his knee issues.

Brown (knee) practiced fully for the third straight day Friday and does not have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Patriots.

EDGE Analysis

Brown's status was never really in question, but we also know he's been battling the knee issue for a while now, so it's promising the wideout practiced fully for three straight days this week. He's set to resume his role as a starter with Stefon Diggs, a role that could prove sneaky fruitful this week if the Patriots use ace cornerback Stephon Gilmore (questionable, knee) as a shadow to Diggs.

Brown (knee) practiced fully for the second straight day Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

We'll see if Brown gets no designation or a questionable designation following Friday's session, but at this point it looks like all systems go for Brown as the Bills prepare to take on the Patriots on Sunday. The veteran has missed two of the past three games with knee issues and was shut out on four targets in the one he did play.

Brown (knee) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice.

EDGE Analysis

Brown missed Sunday's win over the Jets due to a knee injury, the same issue that had sidelined him Week 5 against the Titans. His full participation in Wednesday's session would seem to suggest that the game off provided Brown with sufficient time to move past the knee issue. Brown is thus on track to reclaim his regular starting role this weekend against the Patriots, relegating rookie Gabriel Davis to backup duties.

Brown (knee) is expected to practice Wednesday after sitting out the Bills' Week 7 win over the Jets, The Buffalo News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Brown sat out the Bills' Week 5 loss to the Titans with the same injury, though he gutted it out Week 6, when it was obvious he was playing hurt after he caught zero balls on no targets in a loss to Kansas City. Even limited participation in practice to begin Week 8 would bode well for his chances of returning to action Sunday against the Patriots.

The Bills have ruled Brown (knee) out for Sunday's game against the Jets.

EDGE Analysis

Despite playing all but two of the Bills' offensive snaps in Monday's loss to the Chiefs, Brown was a non-factor in the passing game while he returned to the lineup after a one-game absence due to the knee injury. The wideout may have aggravated the injury in the contest, as he failed to practice in any capacity Wednesday through Friday before the Bills ruled him out for the Week 7 contest. Expect Gabriel Davis to take Brown's spot in the lineup, joining Stefon Diggs and Cole Beasley in three-wide sets.

Brown (knee) isn't present at the early portion of Friday's practice, Sal Capaccio of WGR Sports Radio 550 Buffalo reports.

EDGE Analysis

Brown looks on track to miss his third straight practice session of the week, which would cast serious doubt about his availability for Sunday's matchup with the Jets. The veteran wideout missed Week 5 due to the same injury, but he managed to suit up in the Bills' Week 6 loss to the Chiefs. The release of Buffalo's official injury report later Friday should provide a clearer update on Brown's chances of playing.

Brown (knee) missed practice again Thursday, Jay Skurski of The Buffalo News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Back-to-back absences set the stage for Friday's practice to be a key determinant in Brown's Week 7 status. If he's out or limited Sunday against the Jets, Gabriel Davis would be in line to see added snaps alongside Stefon Diggs and Cole Beasley.

Brown (knee) didn't practice Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

The wideout, who sat out Week 5 action due to the same injury, returned Monday to play 51 of the Bills' 53 offensive snaps in a 26-17 loss to the Chiefs. With no reported setbacks in the contest, his absence from practice Wednesday seems likely to be maintenance-related, a scenario that would be confirmed as long Brown returns to practice in some capacity Thursday.
