Activated from IR Tennessee activated Brown (chest) from injured reserve ahead of Thursday's game against the 49ers, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
Impact Brown will put an end to a three-game absence as he suits up for the first time Thursday since Week 11. Meanwhile, Julio Jones (hamstring) is free of a Week 16 injury designation, meaning that the Titans -- who head into the contest with a depleted offensive line -- will at least have their top two wideouts available. The presence of Brown and Jones bolsters the offense as a whole, as well as the fantasy prospects of quarterback Ryan Tannehill.

On track to play Thursday The Titans plan to activate Brown (chest) from IR in advance of Thursday night's game against the 49ers, Nick Shook of NFL.com reports.
Impact Brown, who last suited up Week 11, didn't experience any setbacks at practice this week and thus is in line to be officially activated later Thursday, setting the stage for him to play versus San Francisco. With teammate Julio Jones free of a Week 16 injury designation, the Titans are poised to have their top two wideouts available, which should provide the team's offense with a big lift down the stretch.

Impact Sidelined since suffering a chest injury Week 11, Brown was designated to return from IR on Monday, with the move opening up a 21-day window for the Titans to evaluate him in practice. Based on how Brown has checked out during his first two walk-through sessions, the Titans aren't expected to need the full window to assess his health, and the 24-year-old wideout looks like he may even be ready to play on a short week. If the team plans on having Brown suit up against San Francisco, he won't have to be activated until a few hours prior to Thursday's 8:20 p.m. ET kickoff, so official word on his Week 16 status may not arrive for another day. Brown's return in any capacity Thursday would be a big boon to a decimated Titans pass-catching corps that could be without Julio Jones, who aggravated a hamstring injury in last week's loss to the Steelers.

Impact Brown at least remains in consideration to suit up Thursday after seeing his 21-day evaluation window opened Monday. His estimated level of participation Tuesday should provide a clearer picture of his status, though his activation from injured reserve would be a better indication that he's ready to retake the field.

DECEMBER 20, 2021 • TENNESSEAN.COM
Ready to practice Tennessee designated Brown (chest) for return from injured reserve Monday, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
Impact The transaction opens up a 21-day window for Brown to be evaluated in practice and makes the wideout eligible to rejoin the 53-man roster as soon as the Titans' Week 16 game against the 49ers on Thursday. If Brown shows enough progress in his recovery from the chest injury during practice this week to put an end to his three-game absence against San Francisco, he should immediately step back in as Tennessee's No. 1 pass catcher. Brown's potential return Thursday would be an especially welcome development after fellow receiver Julio Jones suffered another setback with his hamstring injury in Tennessee's Week 15 loss to Pittsburgh, leaving the latter's availability in question.
