Buffalo Bills wide receiver John Brown was placed on the COVID-19 reserve list Monday after being identified as a close contact to running back T.J Yeldon. Brown will be inactive for the Week 16 matchup with the New England Patriots.
Brown has played in eight games this season and was expected to return to the field after an ankle injury. He has caught 29 passes for 386 yards and two touchdowns. This season, he was third in target market share, at 17.78%, behind only Stefon Diggs and Cole Beasley.
Expect Gabriel Davis, Diggs and Beasley to all benefit from Brown’s absence.
