Noah Brown Not Seen At Practice Wednesday

Houston Texans wide receiver Noah Brown (back) was not seen on the practice field on Wednesday. It's the second straight day of practice that Brown has missed to open wild-card week. Brown also missed the Week 18 regular season finale against the Indianapolis Colts last Saturday, so he's going to need to get back on the practice field on Friday to have a shot at facing the Cleveland Browns in Saturday's playoff game. Even if Brown returns to practice on Friday and plays against Cleveland, he'll be a low-upside, low-cost DS option against a Browns defense that is getting healthier for the postseason. In Week 15 against Houston, Brown caught a season-high eight passes for 82 yards and his second touchdown of the year on 11 targets. Houston's receiving corps is beat up heading into the playoffs, with both Brown and Robert Woods (hip) up in the air to play.
