Brown reportedly ran one route during practice on Thursday and then told reporters he plans to playing in Saturday’s game against Fayetteville, according to Griffin Haas of WTEN. The report comes on the heels of Brown’s agent claiming that the wide receiver is receiving “genuine interest” from NFL teams.
