Brown continued to miss practice this week, and will miss his second consecutive game. Expect Corey Davis, Adam Humphries, and Jonnu Smith to dominate passing targets against a depleted Vikings secondary.

Tennesee Titans wide receiver A.J. Brown missed Thursday's practice.

A.J. Brown is firmly trending towards missing his second consecutive contest. The Titans would be wise to play it safe with their prized sophomore, and will likely err on the side of caution as far as when he is cleared to return to the practice field. With Brown out Corey Davis, Jonnu Smith, and Adam Humphries all get slight value boosts. Jonnu was a star in Week 2 but has a tougher matchup on tap against one of the top coverage linebackers in the league in Eric Kendricks.

A.J. Brown is sitting out of practice Wednesday as he continues to recover from a bone bruise in his knee.

Brown did not practice last week before being ruled out early for Week 2, so his absence Wednesday suggests he will likely miss Week 3 as well. Brown should be considered week-to-week until we get a more firm update on his status. The Titans top pass catchers without Brown in the fold appear to be Corey Davis and tight end Jonnu Smith with Adam Humphries getting some looks underneath.

A.J. Brown would not delve into the specifics of his injury, a bone bruise in his knee that forced him from practicing Thursday and Friday.

“Just know that I'm working through it,” he said.

It’s unclear when the injury occurred, but the 6-foot, 226-pound receiver did catch a helmet to the knee with about 10 minutes left in the Titans’ season opener in Denver on Sept. 14. On a screen pass from Ryan Tannehill, Brown picked up seven yards before Denver safety Kareem Jackson went low for a tackle. Brown was slow to get up before motioning to the sideline that he was coming off the field.

As the story said, bone bruises can linger, but the fact that the Titans didn’t place Brown on injured reserve – which would mean he would have to miss the next three weeks – would seem to indicate they believe a return is not too far off.

Titans WR A.J. Brown is not practicing Friday, according to Jim Wyatt of TitansOnline.com.

Head coach Mike Vrabel said Brown will be out Sunday against Jacksonville.

Losing Brown a massive loss for a limited Titans passing offense. The short week did not help his prospects of playing, but the bone bruise on his knee is serious enough to keep him out.

According to Adam Schefter on Twitter, Tennessee Titans wide receiver A.J. Brown is in danger of missing this weekend's contest against the Jacksonville Jaguars.

We noted earlier that A.J. Brown missing consecutive practices was a concern, and here we are. Schefter noted that Brown is dealing with a bone bruise, and that according to his source, that the injury may be of multi-week variety. A devastating start to the season to much-hyped rookie to be sure. We knocked Brown down our rankings with the news from earlier today and will remove him completely if he cannot give it a go tomorrow. Fantasy managers should start making contingency plans.
