ANALYSIS
Brown started in both games this season but missed practice this week while dealing with shoulder and hip injuries. He'll sit out for at least the next four games and is eligible to return Week 8 against the Giants on Sunday, Oct. 29. Billy Turner is set to take over at starting left tackle in Brown's absence.

Brown is continuing a holdout he started during the offseason program and leaves Houston preparing for the possibility of opening the season without its starting left tackle. He’s looking for a contract re-do while the team’s position is that Brown is under contract for another two seasons. This holdout could play out into the season – Brown will pay the fines and miss the game checks – and he could return for the second half of the season without losing his future free-agency status after the 2018 season. In the meantime, Chris Clark is expected to start at left tackle while Brown remains out.
