The Raiders placed Brown (hand) on injured reserve Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Brown missed Las Vegas' matchup versus the Rams last Thursday due to a hand issue, and he's since been placed on injured reserve and is now slated to miss at least the next four contests as a result of the transaction. In the 27-year-old's absence, Darien Butler, Luke Masterson and Denzel Perryman are in line to handle most of the Raiders' linebacker duties for the rest of the regular season.

Brown (hand) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Rams, Vincent Bonsignore of the Las Vegas Review-Journal reports.

EDGE Analysis

Brown was unable to log any practice activity prior to Thursday's matchup versus the Rams due to a hand issue, and he's since been ruled out for the contest. Darien Butler and Curtis Bolton are candidates to receive additional linebacker snaps for the time being behind starters Luke Masterson and Denzel Perryman.

Brown logged eight tackles (four solo) during Sunday's 25-20 loss to the Colts.

EDGE Analysis

After missing the team's previous four games with a hamstring injury followed by back-to-back coach's decisions, Brown tied cornerback Sam Webb as the Raiders' second-leading tackler Week 10. The 27-year-old also played every defensive snap for the first time this season, as fellow linebackers Denzel Perryman (hip) and Divine Deablo (forearm) were both out against Indianapolis. With Deablo set to miss at least the next three weeks while on IR, Brown should continue to play a starting role against Denver this coming Sunday.

Brown (coach's decision) is active for Sunday's matchup against the Jaguars.

EDGE Analysis

Brown had been dealing with a lingering hamstring issue, but he shed the injury designation ahead of Week 8 and has since been a healthy scratch in back-to-back games. Denzel Perryman drew the start in Brown's absence last week and picked up eight tackles. It's unclear if Perryman has won the starting spot for good, but he figures to draw another sizable role in Week 9.

Brown (coach's decision) is inactive Sunday against the Saints.

EDGE Analysis

Brown has been dealing with a lingering hamstring issue, but he was able to shed that injury designation earlier in the week. He'll work to earn a chance to return to the field in Week 9 against the Jaguars.

Brown doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's matchup against the Saints, Rachel Gossen of the Raiders' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Brown has finally cleared his lingering hamstring issue and will be available for the first time since Week 4. Before his injury, the veteran linebacker recorded 22 tackles and one pass defense across the first three games of the campaign.

Brown (hamstring) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.

EDGE Analysis

Brown is hopefully trending in the right directions as he's been dealing with a hamstring injury for several weeks. Prior to his injury the linebacker logged 22 tackles and one pass breakup through four games.

Brown (hamstring) is out for Sunday's clash against the Texans.

EDGE Analysis

Brown has been dealing with a hamstring injury for several weeks but was able to log a trio of limited practices this week. However, he's still not ready to retake the field. Brown's next opportunity to play will come next Sunday in New Orleans.

Brown (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Sunday's matchup versus Houston.

EDGE Analysis

Brown has been dealing with a hamstring injury suffered Week 4 against Denver, and he missed Week 5's contest versus Kansas City prior to the Raiders' Week 6 bye. It's promising that he was able to log a trio of limited practices this week, but his status for Week 7 likely won't be known until closer to Sunday's 4 p.m. ET kickoff.

Brown (hamstring) is listed as out for Week 5 at Kansas City, Josh Dubow of The Associated Press reports.

EDGE Analysis

Brown picked up a hamstring injury during Las Vegas' win versus Denver in Week 4, and he'll now have to sit out at least one game as he recovers. Denzel Perryman and Luke Masterson should see increased reps in Brown's absence.
