Brown (calf) was officially listed as limited at Thursday's practice, Joe Buscaglia of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
That's no surprise considering Brown came up hobbling after one of his Thursday reps, but it's worth confirming that his injury is still listed as a calf issue. In any case, Brown's status, as well as that of the Bills' scheduled game against the Titans -- whose Week 4 contest was postponed -- remains worth monitoring as the weekend approaches.

Brown appeared to aggravate his calf injury during Thursday's practice, Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Brown missed Wednesday's practice and it appears as though he tweaked his calf in his return to the field Thursday. As a result, look for the wideout to be listed as a limited participant on the Bills' official injury report, with Brown's Friday participation level thus becoming something to monitor closely.

Brown missed Wednesday's practice session due to a calf issue, Maddy Glab of the Bills' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Brown was forced out of the Week 3 contest with a calf injury, but he upramped his practice last week and played the whole game against the Raiders, narrowly missing a score. While the complete absence isn't great news, it's possible coach Sean McDermott is just resting his veteran receiver as the coach is apt to do with certain experienced players each Wednesday. We'll check back in on Brown on Thursday.

Brown caught four of five targets for 42 yards during Sunday's win in Las Vegas.
EDGE Analysis
Brown was able to work a full shift after exiting last week's game with a calf injury. While the production was modest by his standards, he was jobbed out of a touchdown by being ruled down just shy of the goal line on a fantastic catch in the fourth quarter that probably would have stood as a TD had the refs initially called him in. Brown and the Bills get the Titans in Week 5, and while the veteran should be clear of his injury issue, the game itself is up in the air given the Titans' COVID-19 troubles.

Brown (calf) practiced in full Friday and doesn't have a designation for Sunday's game at Las Vegas.
EDGE Analysis
Brown exited the Bills' Week 3 victory against the Rams with a calf injury that kept him sidelined at Wednesday's practice before putting in a limited session Thursday. Now clear of the health concern, he can focus on a Raiders defense that has allowed just 7.7 yards per target and one TD to wide receivers this season.

Brown (calf) was listed as a limited practice participant Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
With that, Brown is trending in the right direction as Sunday's game against the Raiders approaches. Friday's final injury report should reveal whether he heads into the weekend listed as questionable or free from a Week 4 injury designation. The wideout didn't haul in either of the two targets he saw before exiting this past Sunday's 35-32 win over the Rams while logging 29 snaps on offense.

Brown (calf) returned to practice Thursday, Matthew Fairburn of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
We'll have to see if the Bills list Brown -- who missed practice Wednesday -- as a limited or full participant, but either way, his return to to the field Thursday is a step in the right direction for the wideout in advance of Sunday's game against the Raiders.

Brown (calf) didn't practice Wednesday, Chris Brown of the Bills' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Brown was forced out of Sunday's win over the Rams with a calf injury, and his absence to start the current practice week makes the wideout's status for this weekend's game against the Raiders worth monitoring. If Brown is limited or out in Week 4, Gabriel Davis could see added looks in the Buffalo passing game.

Brown was forced out of Sunday's game versus the Rams with a calf injury.
EDGE Analysis
Brown started the second half on the sidelines, and the soft-tissue nature of his injury is concerning for his return. Cole Beasley and Gabriel Davis will both likely see increased usage with Brown hurt.

Brown (foot) doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Rams.
EDGE Analysis
Brown was added to the injury report Thursday after being limited in practice due to foot soreness, but the issue wasn't considered serious, and his prompt removal from the injury report confirms that notion. The 30-year-old wide receiver will look to extend his season-opening touchdown streak to three games against a visiting Rams secondary that has allowed only one passing touchdown through two games.
