The Facts: Brown missed his fifth straight practice Thursday because of a calf injury, and he wore a walking boot on his right foot during practice.

Diehards Line: HC Mike McCoy did not provide an update on the injury, other than saying that Brown would be back in uniform when he’s healthy. “He has the same diagnosis that he has when he first injured it,” McCoy said. “And he’ll be out there when he’s ready to go. ..." Of course, fantasy football owners would argue, he hasn't really been ready to go when he's been healthy, either. We'll watch for signs that's changing, but nobody should get their hopes up too high at this point.
