Cardinals' John Brown: Limited Thursday

Brown (illness) was limited in Thursday's practice, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

Analysis:

According to Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com, Brown has again exhibited signs of his sickle-cell trait, including hamstring cramps that knocked him from Sunday's loss in Atlanta and a tight hamstring while running prior to practice Wednesday. The Cardinals will thus exercise a cautious approach with Brown, hence the limited session Thursday following Wednesday's DNP. With the potential for spontaneous episodes, it's difficult to place trust in the third-year wideout, especially due to his underwhelming line (31 receptions for 399 yards and one touchdown) through 10 games.
