Catches all three targets
Brown caught three of three targets for 11 yards in Sunday's 31-5 loss to the Cardinals.
Analysis: Since catching four passes on five targets for 67 yards in a Week 1 win over Jacksonville, Brown has eight catches for 47 yards and zero targets in the red zone over the last six games. During that stretch, the Texans have just seven red-zone appearances, the area where tight ends typically accrue most of their fantasy value. His main competition at tight end, Jordan Akins, caught both of his targets for 13 yards Sunday.

Logs pair of catches
Brown caught two of three targets for eight yards in Sunday's 31-3 loss to the Colts.
Analysis: It was another workmanlike effort for Brown, who led Houston's tight ends in snaps while serving as the best blocker among the position group. He remains the snap count leader at tight end, but Jordan Akins is the target leader and a bigger threat when Houston's forced to throw.

Good to go for Week 6
Brown (shoulder) doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Colts.
Analysis: Brown was able to work his way off the injury report by progressing throughout the week. He missed practice Wednesday before practicing in a limited capacity Thursday and finally upgraded to full participation Friday. Brown and Jordan Akins should continue to split reps at tight end.

Resumes practicing
Brown (shoulder) returned to practice Thursday.
Analysis: Brown sat out Wednesday's practice, so his return to the field Thursday -- albeit in a limited fashion -- bodes well for his chances of suiting up Sunday against the Colts. The tight end caught two of his four targets for 22 yards in the Texans' Week 5 loss to the Patriots, and he overall has compiled a modest 7-95-0 stat line through five contests.

Nursing shoulder issue
Brown didn't practice Wednesday due to a shoulder injury.
Analysis: Brown apparently picked up the injury during the Texans' loss to the Patriots on Sunday, when he caught two of four targets for 22 yards while playing 64 percent of the offensive snaps. The 27-year-old will likely need to practice in some capacity Thursday or Friday to have a chance to suit up this weekend against the Colts.

Lead TEs in yards
Brown caught two of three targets for 22 yards in Sunday's 25-22 loss to New England.
Analysis: Brown had his best game since Week 1, when he caught four of five targets for 67 yards. Since then, the fourth-year tight end has three catches on six targets for 28 yards. Brown is the position group's snap-count leader through five games, but the offense has largely sputtered since rookie Davis Mills took over at quarterback.

Not targeted Week 3
Brown played 31 offensive snaps and wasn't targeted during Thursday's 24-9 loss to the Panthers.
Analysis: Brown caught four of five targets for 67 yards in the season opener, but he failed to catch his lone target across the past two games. Jordan Akins played only three more offensive snaps Thursday but caught four of five targets for 32 yards. The pair is splitting playing time and neither has been consistently involved in the aerial attack through the first three games of the season.

Receives one target Week 2
Brown failed to catch his only target in Sunday's 31-21 loss to the Browns.
Analysis: Brown dealt with multiple injuries (ankle/shoulder) leading up to Week 2, which is likely the reason he was not as involved in the offense as he was in Week 1. The tight end group also lost Antony Auclair (eye) on Sunday, leaving the Texans with depth questions heading into Thursday's game against Carolina. Pending the status of Brown and Auclair, Jordan Akins could be the primary receiving option at the position and rookie Brevin Jordan could be active for the first time.

Set to play against Browns
Brown (ankle/shoulder) is active Week 2 against Cleveland.
Analysis: Brown ended up with a questionable tag after logging a limited practice Friday, but it won't prevent the second-year Texan from taking the field against the Browns. In what was a positive game script for Houston in Week 1 against the Jaguars, the 6-foot-6 tight end was second among all pass catchers in snap share, ultimately hauling in four passes on five targets for 67 yards.

Officially questionable for Week 2
Brown (ankle/shoulder) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Browns.
Analysis: Brown delivered a major Week 1 impact with physical blocking in the running game in addition to 67 receiving yards, and he's trending towards suiting up in Week 2 with this upgrade to a limited practice after sitting out Wednesday and Thursday. If Brown plays, he'll likely continue to split tight end reps with Jordan Akins.

Returns to practice
Brown (shoulder/ankle) was present for practice Friday, Aaron Wilson of Sportstalk 790 Houston reports.
Analysis: Wilson suggests that there didn't seem to be any serious concerns that the tight end might miss Sunday's game against Cleveland, and Brown's presence at practice Friday supports that notion. The Texans' final injury report of the week will reveal whether Brown heads into the weekend with any sort of injury designation.

Sits for another practice
Brown (shoulder/ankle) didn't participate in Thursday's practice, Aaron Wilson of Sportstalk 790 Houston reports.
Analysis: Brown's back-to-back absences from practice to open Week 2 prep doesn't bode well for his early chances of gaining clearance for Sunday's game against the Browns. The Texans will formally rule on Brown's status after Friday's practice, and if he can't go, Jordan Akins and Brevin Jordan would likely handle the pass-catching responsibilities at the tight end position. Houston could add a more blocking-oriented tight end to the roster if Brown is out, as neither Akins nor Jordan is particularly…read more

Dealing with two injuries
Brown missed Wednesday's practice with shoulder and ankle injuries.
Analysis: An earlier report identified an unspecified upper-body injury as the likely reason for Brown's absence on the heels of his surprising 4-67-1 receiving line on five targets and a 76 percent snap share in the Texans' 37-21 win over Jacksonville in Week 1. He appears to have suffered the injury at the tail end of the game, considering Brown played 11 of 17 snaps in the fourth quarter. An absence for Week 2 at Cleveland would leave more work available for Jordan Akins and Brevin Jordan, though the…read more

Misses practice with injury
Brown is absent from Wednesday's practice after suffering an unspecified injury during Sunday's 37-21 win over the Jaguars, Aaron Wilson of Sportstalk 790 Houston reports.
Analysis: Brown is believed to be dealing an upper-body injury that he must have sustained near the end of the game. He was one of many surprise stars in Houston's Week 1 triumph, catching four of five targets for 67 yards on a 76 percent snap share. He isn't likely to play that many snaps in games where the Texans throw the ball more often, but Brown at least appears to have forced a timeshare with the receiving-focused Jordan Akins.

More than blocker
Brown caught four of five targets for 67 yards in Sunday's 37-21 win over the Jaguars.
Analysis: Brown had a nice run to finish out the 2020 season for Houston, but he was not expected to have a significant role in the passing game this season. He played 59 snaps (76 percent), tied Danny Amendola for second among targeted receivers and was second in receiving yards. The Week 1 performance is a surprising development for a player considered to be a blocking tight end. Jordan Akins, last season's primary receiving tight end, was targeted twice (zero catches) and played fewer snaps (47).

Week 1 starter
Brown was named the starter at tight end for Sunday's season opener against the Jaguars, Brooks Kubena of the Houston Chronicle reports.
Analysis: The Texans are expected to use all three of their tight ends, but Brown is considered the best blocker of the bunch. As the plan is to establish a ground game and rely heavily on it, Brown gets the starting nod over Jordan Akins and rookie Brevin Jordan. At 6-foot-6, the 258-pound Brown could be a helpful target in the red zone, an area the Texans would like to improve upon in 2021.

Three targets in loss
Brown did not catch any of his three targets in Saturday's 23-16 loss to the Buccaneers in preseason Week 3.
Analysis: Brown ends the preseason without a catch, but that will not matter when it comes time to finalize the 53-man roster. He's the best blocker in the tight end room, and Brown could be a weekly starter for a team looking to establish a run identity.

Starts Saturday
Brown started at tight end for Saturday's 20-14 win over Dallas in preseason Week 2.
Analysis: Brown and Jordan Akins each made their preseason debuts Saturday and neither was targeted. Akins entered training camp atop the tight end depth chart, but Brown is considered the better blocker of the two and could be the starter for an offense that's expected to run more than it did in 2020.

Does not play Saturday
Brown did not play in Saturday's 26-7 win over the Packers in preseason Week 1.
Analysis: It looked like Brown was going to start the contest after Jordan Akins (leg) was injured earlier in the week, but the decision was made to hold him out. After showing promise when promoted from the practice squad last season, Brown has been the best tight end in camp and was given a starter's treatment for the preseason opener. Akins was the presumed No. 1, but Brown was the top dog on the unofficial depth chart entering the game.

Brown is listed as the top tight end on the Texans' unofficial depth chart, Brooks Kubena of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Dealing with COVID aftereffects
Brown is still feeling the effects of coronavirus and subsequent side effects from the vaccine after contracting the virus last month, Brooks Kubena of the Houston Chronicle reports.
Analysis: Brown, who entered camp on the reserve/COVID-19 list, was activated last Tuesday and is working his way back to full health. The 6-foot-6, 258-pounder is the biggest tight end on the roster, and he could be a force near the goal line and as a blocker. Although he's still not in optimal shape, Brown did make a nice play in Saturday night's practice session, catching a red-zone pass from Tyrod Taylor for a touchdown.

Begins camp on NFI list
The Texans placed Brown on the non-football injury list Wednesday with an unspecified issue, NFL reporter Aaron Wilson reports.
Analysis: Brown re-signed with Houston on a one-year, $2.2 million deal in the spring, but he's not healthy entering training camp. The 27-year-old appeared in 13 games in 2020 and caught 14 passes for 163 yards and two touchdowns.

Re-signs with Houston
Brown signed a one-year, $2.2 million deal with the Texans on Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle reports.
Analysis: The 26-year-old had two career catches entering the 2020 campaign, but he carved out a solid role in Houston and caught 14 passes for 163 yards and two touchdowns in 13 games. Brown is a solid depth tight end but is unlikely to be much of a fantasy option with Jordan Akins and Darren Fells under contract for 2021.

Brown caught five of five targets for 48 yards and one touchdown in Sunday's 41-38 loss to the Titans.
Analysis: Brown recorded season highs in targets, catches and yards, topping Houston's crowded tight end position. While Jordan Akins was considered the primary receiver among the tight ends and Darren Fells his backup, Brown took on a higher profile over the second half of the season. He finished with career highs in targets (16), receptions (14), yards (163) and touchdowns (two).

Brown caught his lone target for 29 yards and led Houston's tight ends with 27 snaps in Sunday's 37-31 loss to the Bengals.
Analysis: Known primarily for his blocking skills, Brown has impressed coaches with his versatility, Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle reports. He's capable of lining up as a traditional tight end, splitting out wide or moving into the backfield at fullback. "He finds ways to make it work and to excel at it. I'm very pleased with Pharaoh.

Analysis: Brown popped up on the injury report with an ankle issue Wednesday, but he's quickly back to taking full repetitions as Houston prepares to host Cincinnati in Week 16.

Analysis: With Brown confirmed out for the rest of Week 13, Darren Fells and Kahale Warring stand as the No. 2 and 3 options behind starting tight end Jordan Akins. The 26-year-old came down with his first career TD catch three weeks ago against the Browns, but from here, he'll have to clear concussion protocol before being able to play again.

Leads TEs in snaps
Browns played 30 snaps and was not targeted in Thursday's 41-25 win over Detroit.
Analysis: Brown led the position group in snaps, but it was a slim margin as Darren Fells (28 snaps) and Jordan Akins (26) also had significant run. And Houston added a fourth tight end to the mix when Kahale Warring was activated from injured reserve. One week after the position group tied a season-high with 11 targets, the four tight ends combined for three targets and zero catches.

Analysis: Brown surprisingly led Houston's tight ends in targets -- the first time that's happened in 2020 -- and scored his first touchdown of the season. His 16-yard touchdown catch brought the Texans within one score late in the fourth quarter, but the Browns were able to run out the clock.

No catches in loss
Brown was not targeted in Sunday's 35-20 loss to Green Bay.

Remains second TE for now
Brown caught two of two targets for 28 yards in Sunday's 42-36 overtime loss to the Titans.
Analysis: Brown stepped in for the injured Jordan Akins (concussion, ankle) for the second straight week and played 30 snaps (42 percent), similar to last week's usage. One of his catches came in the red zone, his first such target of the season. Akins was a limited participant in practice last week before being declared inactive for Sunday, so he may be nearing a return, which would relegate Brown to third on the depth chart.

As a result, Brown looks firmly situated behind at least three other options in the team's tight end room, leaving him to tentatively compete for a sole depth role left up for grabs.

With Ricky Seals-Jones (knee) listed as questionable and considered a game-time decision, Brown could be in line for increased work Week 10.

Back at practice
Brown (concussion) was spotted at the portion of Thursday's practice open to the media, Nate Ulrich of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.
Analysis: Brown didn't practice Wednesday and missed Week 9's loss to the Broncos, so a return to practice in any capacity represents tangible progress. The depth tight end will need to fully clear the five-step concussion protocol, including meeting with an independent neurologist, before suiting up for game action.

Still can't practice
Brown (concussion) didn't participate in Wednesday's practice, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.
Analysis: Brown remains in concussion protocol ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Bills. The Browns are currently short on tight ends with Ricky Seals-Jones (knee) considered day-to-day, so Demetrius Harris and Stephen Carlson could be the top two options at the position.
