Overview
- Coach Mike Vrabel said the team will wait until Saturday to make a final call on A.J. Brown and must activate him by 4 p.m. ET to make him available for Sunday, Vrabel said Friday.
- Brown was designated to return from injured reserve this week, worked in limited practice sessions during his 21-day window, and is officially listed as questionable for Week 6.
- TreVeyon Henderson’s MRI confirmed a high-ankle sprain, yet he has been running and cutting in practice this week and is also listed as questionable while the team monitors his response to work.
- NFL reporting has cautioned that high-ankle sprains commonly sideline players for multiple weeks, with some reporters noting Brown’s injury was expected to be about six weeks and expressing skepticism about a rapid return.
- If either player is unavailable, Rhamondre Stevenson is expected to carry the rushing load with Corey Kiner providing depth, and the decision will affect Drake Maye’s receiving options and short-term roster moves.
