Brown (chest) wasn't spotted at practice Wednesday, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

The wideout was forced out of this past weekend's loss to the Texans due to a chest injury, and he checked out of the contest at one point earlier due to a hand issue. With Brown not participating in Wednesday's practice, his status will need to be monitored closely as Sunday's game against the Patriots approaches. When available, Brown profiles as the top option in Tennessee's banged-up receiving corps.
