Brown, ankle, doubtful; has been sidelined since early camp and may need one more practice window to return.

Brown returned to practice ahead of Week 2 after an ankle injury sidelined him through camp and limited him in Week 1. He previously worked with the first-team defense opposite Tyson Campbell, and his health will shape Jacksonville's pass defense against Cincinnati. If he plays, he stabilizes the Jaguars' secondary; if limited, Jarrian Jones could see more snaps.

Brown is out with an ankle injury after not practicing all week, delaying his anticipated Jaguars debut following an early training-camp setback.

Montaric Brown did not practice, hinting at additional corner depth questions for Jacksonville. His absence would test depth and nickel packages, possibly elevating other Jaguars corners and elevating Carolina’s route variety if Brown is sidelined.

Montaric Brown is listed among the inactives, elevating the need for reserve corners to carry extra special-teams and coverage duties. His absence compresses Jacksonville’s depth at corner, potentially enlarging the Saints’ opportunity windows for rookie or backup receivers to showcase fantasy upside in limited reps.
