Brown passed the Ravens' conditioning test Wednesday but still needs to receive full clearance from the left foot surgery he required in January before he begins practicing with the team.
With that in mind, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic notes that the Ravens hope that Brown -- the first wide receiver selected in April's draft -- will be cleared soon. Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com suggests that he wouldn't be surprised to see the speedy pass catcher on the field as soon as next week. Whenever he gets the green light to practice, Brown will be eased back in, but the rookie tentatively looks on track to face no restrictions by the time Week 1 arrives. Though he's slightly built at 5-foot-9 and 170 pounds, Brown's high-end speed could make him the Ravens' top downfield threat before long.
