Brown (shoulder) is slated to sign a one-year contract with the Texans worth $5 million, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports. Over the course of 10 regular-season games with Houston in 2023, Brown recorded 33 catches on 55 targets for 567 yards and two TDs. The 28-year-old wideout was placed on IR twice last season, but assuming he has moved past his injury issues, Brown will have a chance to reclaim a complementary role in a C.J. Stroud-led offense that also includes Nico Collins, Tank Dell (fibula) and tight end Dalton Schultz.

Staying with Houston
Brown (shoulder) is slated to sign a one-year contract with the Texans worth $5 million, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports. Over the course of 10 regular-season games with Houston in 2023, Brown recorded 33 catches on 55 targets for 567 yards and two TDs. The 28-year-old wideout was placed on IR twice last season, but assuming he has moved past his injury issues, Brown will have a chance to reclaim a complementary role in a C.J. Stroud-led offense that also includes Nico Collins, Tank Dell (fibula) and tight end Dalton Schultz.
Re-signing with Houston
Brown plans to sign a new contract with the Texans, Dianna Russini of The Athletic reports. Brown had his most efficient season as a pro in 2023, recording 33 catches for 567 yards on 55 targets over 10 games. Now he's set to run it back with C.J. Stroud in Houston in 2024 and will look to maintain last year's level of success over the course of a full season.
Back at practice
Brown, who Wilson relays is dealing with a knee contusion, has missed two straight games. The wideout's presence at practice Wednesday offers hope that he could return to action Sunday against the Broncos. The Texans' will release their first Week 13 injury report later Wednesday, when the extent of Brown's practice participation will be known.
Ruled out this week
Brown, who wasn't able to practice this week, will thus target a potential return to action Dec. 3 against the Broncos. In his continued absence this weekend, Nico Collins, Tank Dell and Robert Woods are slated to headline the Texans' wideout corps.
Starts week with missed practice
Brown failed to practice in any capacity last week and ultimately sat out this past Sunday's 21-16 win over the Cardinals. He still isn't ready to resume practicing as the Texans begin their preparations for a Week 12 home game against the Jaguars. In his last two games prior to the injury, Brown compiled 325 yards and one touchdown. He has two more opportunities to return to practice and will likely need to take the field in at least some capacity to suit up for Sunday's clash between AFC South rivals.
Not expected to face long-term absence
With Brown not practicing again Friday, per DJ Bien-Aime of ESPN.com, it appears likely that he'll be ruled out for Week 11 action once the Texans' final injury report is released. If that's the case, Nico Collins (calf) -- if available -- Tank Dell and Robert Woods would be in line to lead the team's WR corps this weekend.
Missing another practice
Brown -- who is coming off back-to-back productive outings -- also was absent from Wednesday's session, so what he's able to do Friday could be pivotal with regard to his chances of being available Sunday against the Cardinals. On the plus side for the Texans, Nico Collins (calf) practiced in a limited fashion Wednesday, while Robert Woods (foot) was back on the field Thursday, per Wilson.
One-ups Week 9 effort Sunday
A week after establishing a new career high with 153 receiving yards against the Buccaneers, Brown managed to outdo himself on an afternoon where more targets than usual were available due to the absence of Nico Collins (calf). Brown's reception and receiving yardage tallies were both team- and season-high figures, and he was second in targets only to Tank Dell. Brown's play over the last two weeks is likely to eventually push Robert Woods, who returned to action Sunday from a foot injury, into more of a No. 4 receiver role behind Collins, Dell and Brown.
Breaks out for career-best effort
Brown led the Texans in receiving yardage in the memorable victory, serving as the most prolific beneficiary of C.J. Stroud's record-setting 470-yard performance. The speedy veteran wideout garnered nearly half of his career-high yardage total on a 75-yard catch-and-run touchdown down the left sideline early in the third quarter, but his reception total was also a season high. Brown has multiple receptions in all four games he's suited up for this season, and now that he's clearly healthy, he could continue to carve out additional snaps as the current No. 3 receiver in the ongoing absence of Robert Woods (foot).
