Brown started at tight end and caught his lone target for nine yards in Sunday's 32-28 loss to the Seahawks.
Brown took over the starting job from Demetrius Harris, who had been the primary fill-in for the injured David Njoku (wrist) but was losing playing time to Brown and Ricky Seals-Jones. The catch was just Brown's second on three targets. Since Njoku's injury, Seals-Jones, who scored his second touchdown of the season and was the snap leader Sunday, has been the target leader at the position.
