Will play tonight:
Whatever the case may be, the Titans will have both of their top receivers, with fellow wideout Julio Jones also set to suit up.
As far as how many snaps Brown will play remains to be seen. Earlier in the week, he suggested that he could be on a limited snap count until Week 10 after dealing with a hamstring injury that forced him to miss the Week 4 contest against the New York Jets.

Two seasons in to A.J. Brown’s career and one thing is abundantly clear: He’s one of the best wide receivers in football. And that goes for Fantasy Football, too, where he should be one of the first 10 wide receivers off the board in all leagues, in either the second or third round.
Fantasy:
He’s averaged 7.6 targets, 5 receptions, 76.6 receiving yards, and 18 PPR fantasy points per game. Brown exceeded his targets, receptions, receiving yards, and touchdown totals from 2019 despite playing in two fewer games. The explosive receiver missed two contests in 2020 with a significant knee bruise.
SN Fantasy has Saquon Barkley ranked RB3 in PPR and RB4 in standard. … In standard leagues, Barkley’s FantasyPros ADP sits at No. 8 among RBs behind Christian McCaffrey, Dalvin Cook, Derrick Henry, Alvin Kamara, Nick Chubb, Ezekiel Elliott, and Aaron Jones.
Surgery:
His campaign is all the more impressive in light of news he divulged on Tuesday, as he announced on social media that he had surgery on both knees.
Brown missed Weeks 2 and 3 this season with a bone bruise in his knee and returned in Week 5 for the Titans (Week 4 was their bye week).
Is hurt:
Brown suffered a hamstring injury during the first quarter of Sunday’s game against the Colts, Paul Kuharsky of PaulKuharsky.com reports. Prior to his departure, Brown didn’t catch either of his two targets from Ryan Tannehill and had a three-yard carry.
Brown had issues with both knees during the 2020 campaign but was able to play through them, and at a high level. Despite missing two games, Brown still posted a 1,000-yard season and scored 11 times. Following his sophomore campaign, Brown had surgery on both knees.
