What It Means:

Brown is dealing with a broken pinky finger - one that required a minor surgical procedure - and while he's largely been expected to play Sunday against the Buffalo Bills thus far in the week. But a full absence from practice is still disconcerting, so keep a close eye as the week progresses. Rookie Cam Akers is dealing with an injury of his own and also missed practice, so Darrell Henderson could hold the reins to the backfield once again.

Our models currently project Brown for 38.0 rushing yards, 6.9 receiving yards, 0.3 touchdowns and 6.7 FanDuel points.
