Brown tallied eight tackles (five solo) during Sunday's 20-13 loss to the Jaguars. Brown saw an increased role on defense Sunday due to the absence of Amani Hooker (shoulder), and the former finished the game as the Titans' co-leading tackler with Luke Gifford. Brown has been a solid contributor on both defense and special teams and has totaled 45 tackles (23 solo) and one pass defense through 16 regular-season games.
Brown recorded seven tackles (five solo) in Sunday's 27-17 loss to the Chargers. Brown made his first start of the season with Quandre Diggs (foot) on injured reserve, and he impressed by ranking second on the team in tackles. However, Brown's starting gig isn't guaranteed, especially with the Titans bringing in Mike Edwards via waivers. If Brown can lock down the role, he'll be considered a solid fantasy option.
Brown is Tennessee's presumed starter at safety after Quandre Diggs' season-ending Lisfranc injury, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports. Diggs was forced out of Sunday's game versus the Patriots after just 13 defensive snaps, and Brown filled in admirably for the rest of the afternoon, recording six tackles and a pass defensed. He's now in line to start in Week 10 against the Chargers.
The transaction opens a 21-day window during which Tennessee can activate Brown before it will be forced to shut him down for the remainder of the season. The Titans' injury reports this week will provide more information regarding his potential availability for Thursday's game at Pittsburgh.
