Brown (knee/ankle) remained sidelined at practice Friday, Doug Kyed of the Boston Herald reports.
With three consecutive 'DNP's looming, Brown doesn't seem likely to be available Sunday against the Packers. If he's ruled out later Friday, the stage would be set for DeMario Douglas, Efton Chism, Kyle Williams and potentially Mack Hollins (calf) -- who has been designated to return from IR -- to handle New England's Week 9 WR duties.
