Brown did not play in Saturday's 26-7 win over the Packers in preseason Week 1.
It looked like Brown was going to start the contest after Jordan Akins (leg) was injured earlier in the week, but the decision was made to hold him out. After showing promise when promoted from the practice squad last season, Brown has been the best tight end in camp and was given a starter's treatment for the preseason opener. Akins was the presumed No. 1, but Brown was the top dog on the unofficial depth chart entering the game.
