Questionable
Injury Ankle
Est. Return 4/1/2026
Signed a one-year, $7 million contract with the Texans in March of 2026.
Progressing in recovery
Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports that Brown is recovering well from an ankle injury that prevented him from playing in the Texans' AFC divisional-round loss to the Patriots in mid-January.
ANALYSIS
Brown missed time toward the tail end of the 2025 season due to ankle and knee injuries. He's progressed enough in his recovery to start lifting weights at the Texans' facility and could be available for the start of offseason programming. Brown started at right tackle in all 13 regular-season games he appeared in last year, but he'll likely operate in a reserve role in 2026 after Houston signed Braden Smith to a two-year, $25 million contract Tuesday.

Brown is one of five new linemen added during the offseason to compete for a role on a revamped offensive line. He rehabbed a knee injury during the offseason and missed OTAs, but once healthy, Brown should move ahead of Blake Fisher at right tackle.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Could land in Cincinnati
Brown will meet with the Bengals on Tuesday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
Cincinnati has a hole at tackle after losing Jonah Williams in free agency, and Brown could be a solution. The 30-year-old spent the last three seasons with the Patriots, starting games at both left and right tackle, so he would bring both experience and flexibility to the Bengals offensive line.
