Brown (foot) took part in his first practice of training camp Wednesday, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports. "We don't want any setbacks. We don't have to over-rush him now," coach John Harbaugh said of Brown, who is recovering from January surgery to address a Lisfranc injury. "But I am looking forward to seeing him out there with other guys in real situations and see how he does."
After passing his physical a day earlier, Brown wasted no time making his on-field debut. The rookie reportedly stuck to individual and positional drills, so the next hurdle will be getting on the field for 11-on-11 work. His focus will now shift from proving his health to getting acclimated with the intricacies of an NFL offense. The first-round pick will be a key piece to a Baltimore receiving corps desperate for a downfield threat on the outside.
