Cardinals' John Brown: No practice Wednesday

Brown (illness) didn't participate in Wednesday's practice, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

Analysis:

Brown's sickle-cell trait has reared its head in both practices and games since he was diagnosed just two days before a Week 7 divisional clash with the Seahawks. Aside from donning street clothes in that contest, he's at least attempted to play in each of the last five games, yet he's gathered in a modest seven of 15 passes for 98 yards and one touchdown as his snap count waned. On Monday, Arians noted that Brown will hover around 20 snaps per game until the Cardinals get a better handle on how to manage symptoms, namely fatigue and cramps, related to the trait. With such a workload for the foreseeable future, Brown can safely be jettisoned in the majority of leagues, if he hasn't been already.
