Titans’ A.J. Brown: Dominating early in camp
A.J. Brown had “numerous catches” during Thursday’s practice, looking healthy even as he wore a band over his right knee, Turron Davenport of ESPN.com reports.Brown missed the offseason program while rehabbing from January surgeries on both knees. No matter, he was cleared for the start of training camp and seems to be off to a running start, with Jim Wyatt of Tennessee Titans.com supporting the notion that Brown has been highly active early on. New teammate Julio Jones hasn’t been quite as busy, but that should come soon enough as he increases his comfort level in a new system.

Titans’ A.J. Brown: Ready for training camp
A.J. Brown (knee) will be a “full go” for the start of training camp next week, Paul Kuharsky of PaulKuharsky.com reports.The 24-year-old underwent surgery on both knees in January and didn’t participate in OTAs or June minicamp, but he’ll be good to go for the start of training camp. Brown caught 70 of 106 targets for 1,075 yards and 11 touchdowns in 14 games in 2020 while playing through the knee injuries for most of the season, and he could receive a bit less defensive attention this year thanks to the offseason addition of Julio Jones.

Titans’ A.J. Brown: Closing in on return
A.J. Brown (knee) didn’t participate in OTAs or June minicamp, but he said it won’t be long before he’s back on the practice field, Jim Wyatt of the Tennessee Titans’ official site reports.Brown had surgery on both knees in January and has thus far mostly been limited to rehab work and cardio. It sounds like he could be ready for training camp, where he’ll team up with Ryan Tannehill, Derrick Henry and recent addition Julio Jones in a star-studded Tennessee offense. With WR Corey Davis and TE Jonnu Smith both departing this offseason, the Titans presumably expect Brown and Jones to handle a huge share of the targets and receiving production.

Titans’ A.J. Brown: Ready for softer matchups
A.J. Brown (knee) will receive less attention from opposing defenses after the Tennessee Titans acquired Julio Jones, Turron Davenport of ESPN.com reports.The Titans had seen a number of pass catchers leave via free agency this offseason, the most notable of which was Corey Davis. Without any proven replacements, Brown was set to see massive volume, but he would also have been the singular focus of opposing defenses. With Jones now in the mix, Brown may see his projected volume decrease, but he also should have more room to operate by avoiding double teams and potentially being matched up against the opposition’s second cornerback rather than the first.

Titans’ A.J. Brown: Solid line in loss
A.J. Brown recorded six receptions on 10 targets for 83 yards and a touchdown in the Tennessee Titans’ wild-card loss to the Ravens.Brown was one of the few bright spots for the Titans’ offense, as he converted their only touchdown of the contest on a 10-yard reception. He also chipped in explosive plays that came from both deep passes and yards after the catch, recording gains of 29, 18 and 14 yards. Brown solidified himself as one of the better young receivers in the league in 2020 and should be prepared to take another step forward during the 2021 campaign, particularly if fellow wideout Corey Davis signs elsewhere.

Titans’ A.J. Brown: Set to suit up Sunday
A.J. Brown (knee/hand) doesn’t have a designation for Sunday’s wild-card game versus the Ravens, Jim Wyatt of the Tennessee Titans’ official site reports.Brown’s only on-field work this week occurred at Wednesday’s walk-through, leading to a limited listing on the injury report. The Titans held him out of drills entirely Thursday and Friday, after which the wide receiver told Terry McCormick of TitanInsider.com that he didn’t “get as many reps” as he would have liked, but he instead turned to “film study” in order “to make the most of my opportunities.” Despite the lack of reps, Brown is set to take on his typical role in the offense, which equated to 70 catches (on 106 targets) for 1,075 yards and 11 touchdowns in 14 appearances this season.

Titans’ A.J. Brown: Not spotted at practice
A.J. Brown (knee/hand) wasn’t present at the portion of Friday’s practice open to the media, Turron Davenport of ESPN.com reports.If Brown goes down as a non-participant Friday, it’ll mark back-to-back absences after being listed as limited on Wednesday’s estimated practice report. Knee and hand issues are to blame, with the former likely resulting from his brief first-quarter departure in the regular-season finale. The Tennessee Titans will reveal Brown’s potential availability for Sunday’s wild-card matchup with the Ravens later Friday.

Titans’ A.J. Brown: Sits out practice Thursday
A.J. Brown (knee/hand) didn’t practice Thursday, Jim Wyatt of the Tennessee Titans’ official site reports.Brown was limited Wednesday, but his practice reps have been managed for quite some time now, so his downgrade in participation Thursday isn’t necessarily a red flag. With that in mind, it wouldn’t surprise us to see the wideout approach Sunday’s playoff game against the Ravens minus an injury designation upon the posting of Friday’s final injury report.
