According to Schefter’s tweet Brown did not make the trip out to Los Angeles and will miss the game on Sunday.

Fantasy Impact:

Expect Tyler Johnson and Scott Miller to receive an uptick in snaps. Each have the ability to make plays. Miller operates well underneath or over the middle, while Johnson has displayed big play ability in limited run with Brady. In a game that projects a lot of pass attempts, Chris Godwin looks to be in for a huge night with Mike Evans most likely seeing coverage by Jalen Ramsey.
