Brown (hamstring) was limited at Friday's practice and is now listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Chargers, sfgate.com reports. |
With Brown added to the injury report Friday, his status for Sunday's game is now cloudy, and even if he does play, he'd be a speculative option, on the heels of a Week 4 effort in which he totaled three catches for 22 yards against the Dolphins. |

Brown had three catches on four targets for 22 yards Sunday against the Dolphins. |
Brown saw a big increase in usage with Demarius Moore inactive and Rod Streater out with a foot injury, though the production still left plenty to be desired. Streater is expected to be sidelined for up to five weeks, so Brown could continue to see a decent number of snaps, though his fantasy value is fairly limited with so many question marks under center in Oakland. |

With Denarius Moore inactive and Rod Streater out, Brown has a chance to factor in the Raiders' offense Sunday against the Dolphins, ibabuzz.com reports. |
We'll need to see Brown produce before recommending him as a lineup option, but he could see some looks Sunday, while working behind James Jones and Andre Holmes. |
Mon Sep 15 2014 | 17:54 | The Raiders have signed Brown to one-year deal |
The Raiders have signed Brown to a one-year deal, foxsports.com reports. |
Assuming he's past a calf injury that slowed him this summer, Brown should have a chance to carve out a role in the Raiders' passing game. In any case, Brown provides the team with added depth at the position, with Rod Streater currently banged up. |
Sat Sep 6 2014 | 16:58 | The Chargers have waived Brown (calf) with injury settlement |
The Chargers have waived Brown (calf) with an injury settlement, Michael Gehlken of the San Diego Union-Tribune reports. |
Gehlken adds that Brown is expected to start working out for other teams at some point this month, so the wideout could resurface as an in-season pickup candidate if he finds himself in a good situation in terms of pass-catching opportunities. |
Sun Aug 31 2014 | 21:24 | Brown (calf) cleared waivers and placed on Chargers' IR list |
Brown (calf) cleared waivers and was placed on the Chargers' IR list, ESPN.com reports. |
The move is evidently a procedural one, with the report suggesting that Brown is close to health at this stage, with an injury settlement a potential outcome. In such a scenario, Brown will be able to catch on with another team. |
Sat Aug 30 2014 | 16:40 | Brown (calf) week away from reaching 100 percent health |
Brown (calf) is a week away from reaching 100 percent health, Adam Caplan of ESPN reports. |
After missing all but two days of the preseason due to a strained calf, Brown was waive/injured Saturday by the Chargers, with the hope that he'll clear waivers. If not, he's seemingly close to receiving a clean bill of health and could be active as early as Week 1, wherever he lands. |
Sat Aug 30 2014 | 13:56 | Brown released by Chargers on Saturday |
Brown was released by the Chargers on Saturday, the San Diego Union-Tribune reports. |
Brown has missed all action, practice and games alike, since straining his calf on the second day of training camp. However, after recording 41 receptions (on 69 targets) for 472 yards and one touchdown last season, he'll likely find a home before the regular season commences. |
Fri Aug 22 2014 | 13:05 | Brown still not practicing |
Brown, who was originally sidelined when he strained a calf musled on July 25, is still not practicing, the San Diego Union Tribune reports. |
At the start of training camp, Brown was working as the fourth receiver, behind Keenan Allen, Eddie Royal and Malcom Floyd. With Brown not playing, Dontrelle Inman and Seyi Ajirotutu have rotated into the fourth and fifth spots. The third preseason game is traditionally the most important, and Brown will not be playing again. While it would still be a shock if he got cut, this is definitely not good news for him. |
Tue Aug 12 2014 | 12:40 | Brown in danger of dropping to end of depth chart |
Brown, who has already missed one exhibition game and might miss another, is in danger of dropping to the end of the depth chart, the San Diego Union-Tribune reports. |
There has been some rumbling that Brown could actually get cut if he doesn't perform soon, but that would be a major surprise because he played well at times last season and is already familiar with the offense. Still, Dontrelle Inmam and Seyi Ajirotutu have been looking good in camp, so Brown needs to get on the field and remind the Bolts of what he is capable of doing sooner rather than later. |
Thu Jul 31 2014 | 16:19 | Vincent Brown: (Calf) Misses Practice Again |
Brown (calf) missed practice again on Wednesday, the Associated Press reports. |
Brown hasn't been able to practice since straining his left calf this past Friday. The report adds that while the wideout's injury isn't considered serious, he doesn't know exactly when he'll return to action. Coming off a 2013 season which he recorded 41 catches for 471 yards and a TD in 16 games, Brown now has to contend with a healthy Malcom Floyd for looks opposite top wideout Keenan Allen. |
Fri Jun 6 2014 | 00:32 | Vincent Brown to be Chargers No. 4 receiver |
Vincent Brown is likely to be the Chargers' No. 4 receiver this year. |
As beat writer Michael Gehlken notes, Brown "can play any wide receiver spot" in San Diego's offense. He's likely to serve as a utilityman behind "Z" receiver Keenan Allen, "X" Malcom Floyd, and slot man Eddie Royal. Brown flopped in a chance at a major role last season. His Dynasty league value is minimal. |

Vincent Brown was held catch-less in the Wild Card round. |
Brown has faceplanted in his first fully-healthy NFL season, playing poorly throughout 2013 and ultimately losing his starting job to Eddie Royal. It would be a surprise if Brown made any impact on San Diego's postseason run. |

Sun Dec 29 2013 | 20:43 | Vincent Brown held catch-less in Week 17 |
Vincent Brown was held catch-less on one target in San Diego's Week 17 overtime loss to Kansas City. |
Brown's 2013 season was his first ever as a fully healthy player, but highly disappointing. Philip Rivers showed little confidence in the former third-round draft pick due to blown routes and inconsistent physicality. Because Brown lacks blazing speed and explosiveness, he needs to be a receiver who wins contested passes. And he didn't do that enough in 2013, getting severely outplayed by Keenan Allen. Brown finishes with a 41-471-1 line in 16 games, starting 13. The Chargers may look to upgrade on him in 2014. |

Sun Dec 22 2013 | 20:23 | Vincent Brown picks up two catches, 38 yards |
Vincent Brown had two catches for 38 yards in Sunday's Week 16 win over the Raiders. |
He was targeted five times in the passing game. Brown drew a pass interference call that set up a four-yard touchdown to Keenan Allen in the third quarter and nearly had a 30-yard catch down the left sideline but couldn't stay in bounds. He hasn't been a factor as the Chargers' No. 2 wideout this season and will enter Week 17 with just 41 catches, 472 yards, and one touchdown. |

Fri Dec 13 2013 | 00:51 | Vincent Brown goes 3-54 in win over Broncos |
Vincent Brown caught three passes for 54 yards in San Diego's Week 15 win over the Broncos. |
Brown's 54 yards actually led the team on a night were San Diego dialed up only 19 passes, mustering 166 yards through the air. Embarrassingly for the summer sleeper, Brown's 54 yards were his second most of the season. He'll remain off the fantasy radar for Week 16. |

Vincent Brown managed three catches for 30 yards on four targets in the Chargers' Week 14 win over the Giants. |

Sun Dec 1 2013 | 20:23 | Vincent Brown held to one catch in loss |
Vincent Brown was held to one catch for 16 yards in San Diego's Week 13 loss to the Bengals. |
The one-catch afternoon came despite the fact that Eddie Royal (toe, chest) was inactive. Brown is now on pace for a hugely disappointing 44/467/1 stat-line. Simply not living up to the lofty expectations he set before missing the entire 2012 season with a broken ankle, Brown is not a must-hold in Dynasty leagues. |

Vincent Brown (shoulder) is listed as probable for Week 12. |
Brown returned to a full practice Friday after being limited earlier in the week. He's no higher than the No. 4 option in the passing game and is just a WR5 for Sunday's matchup against the Chiefs. |
