Brown suffered the concussion during a team practice on August 1st. Having sustained the injury more than two weeks ago, the fact that he has yet to pass the Cardinals’ concussion protocol does raise questions about Brown’s status for the beginning of the team’s 2016 season.
Fantasy impact: Brown figures to be a major player for a many fantasy owners in 2016. Coming off a 2015 season in which he caught seven touchdowns and averaged over 15 yards per catch, the receiver looks to be a solid WR2 for 2016.
The concussion is a bit worrisome, but until he starts to miss regular season games, owners of Brown should not be concerned about his ability to produce on the field this year.
