What the Texans are saying about the Browns Cleveland hosts Houston for its first home game of 2021
Pharaoh Brown - Sits for another practice Brown (shoulder/ankle) didn't participate in Thursday's practice, Aaron Wilson of Sportstalk 790 Houston reports.
Impact Brown's back-to-back absences from practice to open Week 2 prep doesn't bode well for his early chances of gaining clearance for Sunday's game against the Browns. The Texans will formally rule on Brown's status after Friday's practice, and if he can't go, Jordan Akins and Brevin Jordan would likely handle the pass-catching responsibilities at the tight end position. Houston could add a more blocking-oriented tight end to the roster if Brown is out, as neither Akins nor Jordan is particularly adept in that area.
