Newly acquired Tennessee Titans wide receiver A.J. Brown was one the team’s most eye-catching hopefuls earlier in the offseason, but it may be a little while before we see him back in action again.
Brown suffered an apparent hamstring injury in practice last week, and the team doesn’t want to push their luck with his health.
According to reporter Paul Kuharksy, the wideout will be held out of team drills during this week’s minicamp.
“While A.J. Brown is available to practice in the Titans’ minicamp starting Tuesday and will do some work, the team will hold him out of team periods to be cautious,” Kuharksy wrote.
Many Titans receivers of the past have shown major upside, only to become injured and eventually lose their role on the team.
The Titans seem optimistic about Brown and he’s been praised by many analysts. If he maintains his health after moving past this, there are high expectations for what the second-rounder can accomplish in Nashville.
Brown was an impact player on his three-year college career at Ole Miss, racking up 189 receptions for 2,984 yards and 19 touchdowns over 34 appearances.
Between Corey Davis, Adam Humphries and Brown, the Titans receiving corps has the opportunity to do some special things this year.
