Mike Brown (shoulder) did not practice Wednesday. Brown is dealing with an AC sprain and considered questionable for Sunday's game against the Texans. He'll likely need to return to practice by Friday to have a chance at playing this week. If Brown can't go, Kerry Taylor will replace him in two-wide sets, with Ace Sanders working in the slot.

Mike Brown has been diagnosed with an AC sprain and is questionable for Week 12.

Jaguars WR Mike Brown was forced from Sunday's game against the Cardinals with a shoulder injury, and is questionable to return. Brown went down early in the third quarter. It's bad news for a team already missing Stephen Burton in the absence of Justin Blackmon. Brown had two catches for 23 yards before departing.

Mike Brown (ankle, probable) remained limited in Friday's practice. Cecil Shorts is a superior player, but Brown has the superior Week 11 matchup as he'll do battle with Jerraud Powers while Shorts takes on Patrick Peterson. Brown remains more of a Hail Mary WR3 option against the Cardinals.

Mike Brown (ankle) remained limited in Thursday's practice. Brown is fully expected to suit up for Sunday's game against the Cardinals. Now the Jaguars' No. 2 receiver, Brown is a WR4 with a bit of upside.

Mike Brown (ankle) was limited in Wednesday's practice. Brown is in no danger of missing Week 11 against the Cardinals. He caught just two passes for 40 yards last week but played a full-time role and should see his targets increase once the Jags start falling behind on a regular basis again.

Mike Brown caught two passes for 40 yards in the Jaguars' Week 10 win over the Titans. Jacksonville's receiving stats were way down as a unit on Sunday because they grabbed an early lead and never gave it up, featuring Maurice Jones-Drew (25 touches) instead. Most weeks, the Jaguars are playing from behind. Brown will continue to be a WR3 dice roll when the Jags take on the Cardinals in Week 11.

Beat writer Michael DiRocco says there is "some growing confidence" within the Jags in Mike Brown. Brown, a college quarterback at Liberty, spent most of last season on the practice squad. A back injury caused him to miss most of the first four weeks this year, but he's been impressing since then. Working as the No. 3 receiver over the last three games, he's played on 78.6 percent of the snaps and recorded a 12/212/1 line. Now that Justin Blackmon is suspended for the year, Brown is expected to play every snap as the No. 2 wideout. He'll be a WR4 with upside as thanks to all the garbage-time work the Jags receivers get.

Mike Brown played on 41-of-75 snaps (54.6 percent) in Sunday's loss to the Niners. Brown is entrenched as the No. 3 wideout on a team using a ton of three-wide looks. Over the last three weeks, he's played on 166-of-211 snaps (78.6 percent) and caught 12 passes for 212 yards with a touchdown. Brown will be on the deep-league radar when the Jags come out of their bye.

Jaguars WR Mike Brown caught five balls for 120 yards in Sunday's Week 7 loss to the Chargers. The Jaguars went heavy on three-wide receiver packages in pass-happy comeback mode, and second-year undrafted free agent Brown exploded for easily the best game of his career. Brown played his college ball at Liberty and spend most of his first season on the Jaguars' practice squad. He's worth a look in deep fantasy leagues, but this will likely go down as Brown's best game of 2013, barring an injury to Cecil Shorts or Justin Blackmon.
