Coach Sean McDermott said Brown (foot) is "trending in the right direction" for Sunday's game against the Rams, Sal Capaccio of WGR Sports Radio 550 Buffalo reports.
EDGE Analysis
Brown was added to Thursday's injury report as a limited participant due to foot soreness, but it apparently isn't a serious concern. It remains to be seen if the 30-year-old can practice fully Friday and avoid an injury designation, but even if questionable he appears to have a strong chance of playing Sunday.

Brown (foot) was listed as a limited practice participant Thursday, Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Brown was a Thursday addition to the Bills' Week 3 injury report, but it's possible that his limitations were maintenance-related. Last week, the wideout sat out practice Wednesday with a listed foot issue before practicing fully both Thursday and Friday. We'll look to see if Brown is full-go this Friday, or if not, whether he's experienced any setbacks with his foot.

Brown hauled in four of six targets for 82 yards and a touchdown in the Bills' 31-28 win over the Dolphins on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
More than half of Brown's receiving yardage came on one play, but it was a critical one. The veteran speedster made a 46-yard scoring grab with 3:09 remaining after the Dolphins had closed to within 24-20, with his score proving especially valuable after the Dolphins' Mike Gesicki notched an eight-yard touchdown with 49 seconds left. Brown is playing a clear second fiddle to new arrival Stefon Diggs in the early going this season, but that's still amounted to 10 receptions for 152 yards and two touchdowns through two games, more than acceptable from a fantasy perspective. Brown will look to keep the momentum going at the expense of the Rams in a Week 3 interconference home matchup next Sunday.

Brown (foot) practiced fully for the second straight day Friday and does not have an injury designation ahead of Sunday's game in Miami.
EDGE Analysis
Managers got a scare when Brown missed Wednesday's practice entirely with what we can now call a minor foot injury, and he'll be ready to go Sunday, coming off a 6-70-1 performance in Week 1.

Brown (foot) practiced fully Thursday, Chris Brown of the Bills' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
With that, Brown is in line to remain in the lineup Sunday against the Dolphins, at which time he'll head the Bills' Week 2 wideout corps along with Stefon Diggs. The duo combined for 14 catches on 19 targets for 156 yards in the Week 1 win over the Jets. Brown's share of that total included six catches for 70 yards and a TD.

Brown (foot) returned to practice Thursday, Sal Capaccio of WGR Sports Radio 550 Buffalo reports.
EDGE Analysis
It remains to be seen if Brown is listed as a limited or full participant, but his presence at practice Thursday has him trending in the right direction for Sunday's game against the Dolphins.

Brown isn't practicing Wednesday due to a foot injury, Matthew Fairburn of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Brown's absence comes after he played 81 of 87 snaps Sunday in the Bills' 27-17 win over the Jets, with the wideout finishing with six receptions for 70 yards and a touchdown across 10 targets. His activity (or lack thereof) in Thursday's practice should provide a better idea regarding whether his absence Wednesday was maintenance-related, or something that could affect his status for the Bills' Week 2 game against the Dolphins.

Brown caught six of 10 targets for 70 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 27-17 win over the Jets.
EDGE Analysis
Brown galloped through the middle of the field for an easy 15-yard touchdown in the second quarter and should have had another touchdown in the fourth -- Brown got wide open in the back of the end zone on a 2nd-and-goal play from the four-yard line but was overthrown by Josh Allen. Allen targeted Brown 10 times and newcomer Stefon Diggs nine times, and those relying on Brown in fantasy would take that split every time. Brown will look to build off this strong performance in Week 2 against Miami.

Brown is back at practice Tuesday after missing Monday's session due to an illness, Sal Capaccio of WGR Sports Radio 550 Buffalo reports.
EDGE Analysis
Coach Sean McDermott said all along this was a non-COVID situation, and Brown's quick recovery supports the coach's words. He'll begin the season as part of what looks to be a strong starting WR trio with Cole Beasley and newcomer Stefon Diggs.

Brown missed Monday's practice session due to illness, Jourdon LaBarber of the Bills' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
The illness is not considered to be COVID-19 related, so assuming that's true Brown should be able to jump back into things soon.
