Brown (ankle) is inactive for Sunday's divisional-round matchup versus the Patriots.
EDGE Analysis
Brown dealt with a pair of ankle and knee injuries over the last few weeks, and he was sidelined for the final two games of the regular season. The 32-year-old suited up and started Monday's wild-card win over the Steelers, but he popped back up with an ankle issue, which will keep him out versus New England. In his stead, Tytus Howard will likely move over to start at right tackle while Jarrett Patterson fills in at left guard.

Brown (ankle) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's divisional-round matchup against the Patriots.
EDGE Analysis
The 32-year-old from Florida upgraded from a DNP on Thursday to a limited practice Friday, suggesting he's trending in the right direction ahead of Sunday's playoff contest. However, if Brown is forced to miss the divisional round, expect Tytus Howard to step in as Houston's top right tackle.

Brown (ankle/knee) does not have an injury designation ahead of Monday's wild-card matchup against the Steelers, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.
EDGE Analysis
Brown missed the Texans' final two games of the regular season with ankle and knee injuries, though he logged two limited practices to begin the week before upgrading to full participation Saturday. He'll be ready to start at right tackle to begin Houston's postseason run.

Brown (ankle/knee) was a limited participant in Friday's practice.
EDGE Analysis
Brown has now logged consecutive limited sessions, leaving him one more opportunity to upgrade his practice participation in the hopes of dodging an injury designation ahead of Monday night's wild-card clash with the Steelers. The right tackle was inactive for the Week 18 win over the Colts, and if he cannot at least maintain limited participation in Saturday's session, he will likely not play in Monday's elimination game.

Brown (ankle/knee) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Colts.
EDGE Analysis
Brown will end up missing the final two games of the regular season due to ankle and knee injuries, and Tytus Howard will get the start at right tackle for a second consecutive game. Brown has been unable to practice since sustaining the injuries in Week 16 against the Raiders, which puts him in jeopardy of missing the wild-card round of the AFC playoffs.

Brown (ankle) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Colts.

Brown (ankle/knee) didn't practice Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Brown didn't practice at all last week and missed Saturday's win over the Chargers. He's still not ready to return to practice, so his status for Sunday's regular-season finale against Indianapolis is certainly in question. Blake Fisher and Tytus Howard will likely be Houston's starting tackles Sunday if Brown can't return to action.

Brown (knee) has been ruled out for Saturday's contest against the Chargers.
EDGE Analysis
Brown is dealing with a pair of ankle and knee injuries, and he'll now be forced to miss Week 17. In his absence, Blake Fisher and Tytus Howard are both top candidates to draw the start at right tackle in his place versus Los Angeles.

Brown (knee) was absent from practice Tuesday, Jonathan M. Alexander of the Houston Chronicle reports.
EDGE Analysis
Brown sustained a knee injury late in the fourth quarter of Sunday's game against the Raiders. The offensive tackle's lack of participation in practice is a poor sign for his potential ability to suit up for Saturday's game against the Chargers. Brown will have two more opportunities to get back on the practice field in an attempt to dodge injury designation ahead of Saturday's game.

Brown (knee) was listed as questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Raiders.
EDGE Analysis
Brown sustained a knee injury late in the fourth quarter and did not return to the contest. The tackle did not have much to return for, so his status for Week 17 will remain in question. Tytus Howard filled in at right tackle during Brown's absence and would be set to start Week 17 against the Chargers if Brown is unable to suit up.
