Brown (ankle) logged a limited practice session Thursday. Brown hurt his ankle in Sunday's loss to Miami, and he was able to play only four defensive snaps in that contest. His ability to log a limited practice Thursday suggests the second-year safety could be available Monday against Detroit, though his practice participation level Friday and Saturday certainly bears monitoring. If Brown can't suit up against the Lions, Talanoa Hufanga and Malik Mustapha would likely serve as San Francisco's starting safeties, with Tashaun Gipson working in a rotational role.

Opens week with limited practice

Brown (ankle) logged a limited practice session Thursday. Brown hurt his ankle in Sunday's loss to Miami, and he was able to play only four defensive snaps in that contest. His ability to log a limited practice Thursday suggests the second-year safety could be available Monday against Detroit, though his practice participation level Friday and Saturday certainly bears monitoring. If Brown can't suit up against the Lions, Talanoa Hufanga and Malik Mustapha would likely serve as San Francisco's starting safeties, with Tashaun Gipson working in a rotational role.
Dealing with ankle injury

Brown (ankle) is day-to-day with an ankle injury ahead of Monday's matchup with the Lions, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports. Brown picked up an ankle injury in Sunday's loss to the Dolphins, recording one solo tackle while playing four defensive snaps and 15 snaps on special teams. With San Francisco eliminated from postseason contention, the team will likely be cautious with their impressive second-year safety before Week 17. Brown's status will be worth monitoring when the 49ers host their first official practice of the week Thursday.
Past groin injury

Brown (groin) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice. Brown injured his groin during the 49ers' 12-6 loss to the Rams this past Thursday and finished with six tackles (four solo). It doesn't appear to be a lingering issue as he was able to practice without limitations Wednesday. Barring any setbacks, Brown should be good to go against the Dolphins on Sunday.
Solid day despite getting hurt

Brown (groin) recorded six tackles (four solo) during Thursday's 12-6 loss versus the Rams. Brown picked up a groin issue in Week 15, but along the way, he also racked up six-plus tackles for the fourth time this season. If he's at full strength, he should start at safety next to Talanoa Hufanga in Week 16 at Miami.
Viewed as day-to-day

Brown (groin) is considered day-to-day after being injured in Thursday night's loss to the Rams, Lindsey Pallares of the 49ers' official site reports. Brown gets an extended break ahead of the 49ers' Week 16 game against the Dolphins, so his practice participation level will be monitored next week. Tashaun Gipson replaced Brown in the lineup against Los Angeles and would be in line for an increased role if Brown is unable to play next week.
Questionable to return Thursday

Brown (groin) is questionable to return to Thursday's game against the Rams, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports. The safety made five tackles (three solo) before exiting. Brown has 68 tackles (43 solo) and five pass breakups, including an interception, on the year. Tashaun Gipson is in for him, per Inman.
Leads 9ers in tackles Sunday

Brown recorded eight tackles (five solo) during Sunday's 35-10 loss at Buffalo. In what was a dismal day for San Francisco as a whole, Brown at least tied his season-high tackle total. He figures to remain in an every-down role next to rookie fourth-rounder Malik Mustapha at least until Talanoa Hufanga (wrist) is available to play again.
Records eight stops on TNF

Brown posted eight tackles (six solo), including one for loss, in a 36-24 Week 6 win over Seattle on Thursday. Brown tied for second on the team in tackles behind linebacker Fred Warner (11). The free safety's eight stops also tied his season-high mark. Brown has logged every one of the 49ers' defensive snaps in five of the team's six contests so far this year.
Set to play

Brown (ankle) will play Thursday against the Seahawks. Brown left Sunday's loss to the Cardinals early with the injury, then logged back-to-back limited practice sessions to start the week. However, after being listed as a full participant Wednesday, the 24-year-old has the all-clear to suit up for Thursday's divisional matchup.
