Brown had four carries for 18 yards Sunday against the Redskins.

Analysis: LeSean McCoy returned to the starting lineup, which sent Brown back to the bench. While there was speculation that Brown would get a number of touches himself while McCoy took frequent breaks, it just didn't happen Sunday against a very good Redskins' defense. McCoy finished with 13 carries for 45 yards plus another 77 receiving yards, which left Brown only his four carries. To make matters worse, third-stringer Dion Lewis scampered for a 17-yard touchdown, the only Eagles' running back to score Sunday.

McCoy is ACTIVE

McCoy is ACTIVE for the Eagles today. FOLLOW WITH GAME CENTER

Analysis: McCoy will likely split carries with Bryce Brown, so temper expectations for both players if starting one of them.

Brown will be the Eagles' backup running back Sunday with LeSean McCoy returning from a concussion.

Analysis: Brown is still expected to get a few touches, as the Eagles could ease McCoy back in, after missing the last four games. However, the limited touches for Brown greatly reduce his fantasy upside.

McCoy returns

Eagles stars LeSean McCoy and Michael Vick are probable as they return from concussions. McCoy will start at running back, but his snaps will be split with Bryce Brown. FULL INJURY ROUNDUP

Analysis: With both backs splitting carries, there might be little upside for fantasy owners considering starting either player this week. The Redskins are ranked 6th versus the run, allowing an average of 95 yards per game and 10 scores this season.

McCoy, Brown to split carries

McCoy will start and split carries with Bryce Brown in a backfield that ranks 12th in the league in rushing. Brown has been a mixed big, intertwining electrifying runs with drive-killing fumbles. Coach Andy Reid told reporters he decided to start McCoy after the veteran asked for another chance to play before the season winds down. FULL REPORT

Analysis: Both backs will be risky plays for fantasy owners this week. They will be splitting carries against a Redskins defense allowing an average of 95 yards rushing per game and 10 touchdowns this season.

Brown will rotate in at running back with LeSean McCoy on Sunday against the Redskins, the Philadelphia Inquirer's Jeff McLane reports.

Analysis: McCoy has already been named the Eagles' Week 16 starter at running back and while we suspect that the team will manage McCoy's carries in his return to action, it's pretty clear that Brown's fantasy upside takes a major hit with this news. He's only an option in the deepest of formats, given his likely sharp reduction in snaps this weekend.

Brown carried 16 times for 34 yards and caught one pass for 11 yards in Thursday's loss to the Bengals.

Analysis: That's two straight duds for Brown, who burst out of the gate in his first two starting opportunities (in Weeks 12 and 13). It's pretty clear at this point that Brown is a work in progress and his fantasy utility in Week 16 (when the Eagles play the Redskins on December 23) is largely dependent on the status of LeSean McCoy, who is inching toward a return to action.

Eagles without three players on TNF

Quarterback Michael Vick and running back LeSean McCoy have been ruled out with the concussion symptoms that have kept them off the grid for weeks, the team announced Wednesday. The team will also go without tight end Brent Celek because of the concussion he suffered in Sunday's win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. FULL REPORT

Analysis: Nick Foles and Bryce Brown will continue their lead roles against the Bengals on Thursday Night Football. Though the Bengals allow plenty of yardage through the air, they are tied for the third-fewest (14) passing scores allowed. Against the run, however, the unit is tied with the seventh-most (11) touchdowns allowed.

Bryce Brown: Starting Thursday

Brown will be Philadelphia's starting running back Thursday against Cincinnati.

Analysis: With LeSean McCoy (concussion) ruled out for Week 15, Brown will again receive the majority of the workload out of the Eagles' backfield. Following two explosive outings -- a combined 347 yards rushing and four touchdowns -- Brown carried the rock 12 times for just six yards this past Sunday, so it's difficult to get a read on his potential output Thursday against a Bengals run defense that has allowed just 76.8 yards per game and one rushing touchdown to opposing running backs the past four contests.

Michael Vick, LeSean McCoy return to Eagles practice

Michael Vick and LeSean McCoy were back at practice Tuesday after passing their concussion tests the previous day, but their availability for Thursday night's game against the Cincinnati Bengals remains uncertain.

Analysis: Nick Foles has been named the starter for the remainder of the season, which pretty much rules out Vick. It also seems unlikely that McCoy will see any action during a short week, so you can start Bryce Brown with a high degree of certainty.

Brown had 12 carries for six rushing yards and two catches on four targets for six receiving yards Sunday against the Buccaneers.

Analysis: An absolutely dreadful performance from Brown against the league's No. 1 defense against the run. For fantasy owners who jumped on Brown after LeSean McCoy suffered a concussion, Sunday's output must have been particularly jarring, after Brown rumbled for 347 yards and four touchdowns in the preceding two games. Up next is a Bengals' defense that held DeMarco Murray to only 53 yards on the ground Sunday. In addition, McCoy could return, which would further limit Brown's fantasy upside.

McCoy ruled out

Philadelphia Eagles running back LeSean McCoy continues to battle symptoms from the concussion he suffered in Week 11 and will not suit up Sunday against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The same goes for concussed quarterback Michael Vick. FULL INJURY ROUNDUP

Analysis: With LeSean McCoy ruled out, Brown's involvement in the passing game and the fact he is the only viable weapon on this offense should still reap positive results for owners against the Bucs top ranked rush defense. Just don’t expect another 20 -plus point day from him.

Brown will start against Tampa Bay on Sunday with LeSean McCoy (concussion) out.

Analysis: Given that he has 347 yards and four touchdowns over the last two games, most of Brown's owners will want him active Sunday, even against a Buccaneers defense that's one of the league's best against the run.

Buccaneers tough on RBs

In his "Week 14 Predictions" report, Elliot Harrison notes, "The much-harassed Bucs secondary has allowed 52 pass plays of 20-plus yards -- the most in the NFC. But don't expect Bryce Brown to run wild, as Tampa's run defense is the best in the NFL (82.3 yards per game)." READ: WEEK 14 PREDICTIONS

Analysis: With LeSean McCoy not likely to play, the rookie’s involvement in the passing game and the fact he is the only viable weapon on this offense should still reap positive results for owners. Just don’t expect another 20 -plus point day from him.

Brown will likely play a role in the offense even if LeSean McCoy returns from his concussion, the Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Analysis: Brown has been a beast in McCoy's absence, rushing for 347 yards and four touchdowns in two games. He has had trouble with fumbles, but he has been a bright spot during a bad Eagles season. McCoy is in the third stage of the five-stage concussion protocol, so his status for Sunday's game is still up in the air.

Brown ran for 169 yards and two touchdown on 24 carries Sunday against the Cowboys.

Analysis: Another huge game for Brown, who looked explosive once again. Despite the solid game, Brown lost another costly fumble late in the fourth quarter that proved to be the difference. Brown will continue to be a great option if LeSean McCoy misses more time with his concussion.

McCoy, Vick ruled out

Eagles running back LeSean McCoy and quarterback Michael Vick remain out with their concussions. FULL INJURY ROUNDUP

Analysis: It will be the Nick Foles and Bryce Brown show once again versus the Cowboys. Foles has struggled as a starter, but Brown could make an impact against a Dallas defense which is allowing 108 yards rushing per game and nine touchdowns.

Brown is in line to start against Dallas on Sunday with LeSean McCoy (concussion) out.

Analysis: His two fumbles against Carolina hurt the Eagles, but they're a team with nothing to play for other than personnel evaluation, and they already know that Dion Lewis is a career backup at most. Brown, on the other hand, is a former five-star recruit who showed a great deal of upside as he burned the Panthers for 178 yards and two touchdowns Monday. It's difficult to see Brown being any worse than a flex play in most formats this week, and he's probably a justifiable RB2.

Vick, McCoy still absent

Eagles quarterback Michael Vick and running back LeSean McCoy both remain absent from practice with their concussions. Vick was expected to undergo further testing on Wednesday. McCoy doesn't seem close to returning. FULL INJURY ROUNDUP

Analysis: With Bryce Brown being among one of the top Week 13 waiver wire pickups, he could continue his breakout performance against a Cowboys defense which has allowed 9 rushing scores this season.

Brown is in line for another start as LeSean McCoy (concussion) is unlikely to play Sunday against the Cowboys, the Philadelphia Inquirer's Jeff McLane reports.

Analysis: Brown shredded the Panthers defense on Monday, running for 178 yards and two touchdowns on only 19 carries. He'll likely work on ball security in practice this week, as he lost two costly fumbles in his first career start. He has a great matchup against the Cowboys, and needs to be rostered if he's still in the waiver pool.

Brown had 19 rushes for 178 yards with two touchdowns and caught four passes for 11 yards Monday against the Panthers.

Analysis: Showing why he was so highly touted coming into college, Brown light the Panthers up highlighted by a 65-yard touchdown run down the sideline in the second quarter. Owners smart enough to handcuff LeSean McCoy (concussion) or scoop Brown off the wire were handsomely rewarded and then some as the rookie was the lone bright spot for the Eagles on Monday. Though his role will obviously hinge on the health of McCoy, the Eagles would be hard pressed not to expand his touches off the breakout performance. A Cowboys' defense that has been gashed by Trent Richardson and Alfred Morris the past two weeks is on deck for whomever starts in the backfield for Philly.

Brown, Foles to get the start

Don't expect to see Michael Vick or LeSean McCoy on the field for the Philadelphia Eagles on Monday night. Vick and McCoy, who are both recovering from concussions -- sat out practice Saturday and won't play against the Carolina Panthers, according to The Philadelphia Inquirer. FULL REPORT

Analysis: Offensive coordinator Marty Mornhinwegsaid Friday that Bryce Brown would be the starting running back against the Panthers. Though the Panthers are ranked 19th against the run, between Nick Foles' rough start and Brown getting his first start of the season, fantasy owners should consider other options.

Brown will start at running back for the Eagles on Monday against Carolina as LeSean McCoy was declared out Saturday with a concussion.

Analysis: McCoy, who suffered a concussion in last week's game, did not practice Saturday. Brown had 35 yards on five carries after replacing McCoy last week. Dion Lewis likely will work into the running game mix too.

McCoy still suffering effects from concussion

Quarterback Michael Vick and running back LeSean McCoy both missed practice on Wednesday as they try to recover from concussions. Both players are in "stage 1" of the post-concussion process, although coach Andy Reid said that Vick was getting closer to Stage 2. McCoy still has a headache. Reid indicated that Bryce Brown will likely start at running back if McCoy is out against the Carolina Panthers on "Monday Night Football". FULL REPORT

Analysis: In his "Week 12 Sleepers" analysis, Adam Rank notes, "the Panthers have allowed the 10th-most fantasy points to running backs this year."

Coach Andy Reid confirmed Wednesday that Brown would start against the Panthers on Monday if LeSean McCoy (concussion) is unable to suit up, Geoff Mosher of CSN Philadelphia reports.

Analysis: As of Wednesday, McCoy still has a headache, which makes it increasingly likely that Brown will get the start Monday, with Dion Lewis likely to be sprinkled into the Eagles' Week 12 backfield mix as well.

As expected, Brown will start this week if LeSean McCoy (concussion) is unable to play, the Philadelphia Inquirer & Daily News reports.

Analysis: Brown tallied 35 yards on five carries Sunday, but it's unlikely that he'll continue at that pace as the feature back. McCoy's status is still up in the air, but with the Eagles' season fading into the abyss, there's no real reason to rush him back.

McCoy suffers concussion

Philadelphia's miserable season continues to get worse. LeSean McCoy suffered a concussion with under two minutes to go in Philadelphia's loss to the Redskins. FULL INJURY ROUNDUP

Analysis: Bryce Brown will be the likely candidate to step in if McCoy is forced to miss any time. Based on Nick Foles less than stellar debut given the opportunistic matchup, don't expect big numbers from the rookie running back.

Brown had five carries for 35 yards Sunday against the Redskins.

Analysis: Brown could see an increase in playing time coming up, as LeSean McCoy was knocked out of Sunday's game with a concussion. That being said, it's tough to expect Brown to outproduce McCoy, who had been struggling for much of the season. If McCoy is forced to miss any games, Brown would be the starter.

Brown (shoulder) is active for Sunday's game against the Lions, Sirius-XM's Adam Caplan reports.

Analysis: He'll be able to handle his usual role as the primary backup to LeSean McCoy.

Brown (shoulder) is probable for Sunday's game against Detroit, PhiladelphiaEagles.com reports.

Analysis: Brown has emerged as the top backup behind LeSean McCoy, putting him on the radar in deeper leagues.

Brown, who had four carries for 28 yards and one catch for eight yards in Week 3, is officially listed as the Eagles' No. 2 running back behind LeSean McCoy.

Analysis: Dion Lewis has been inactive of late, so this is no real surprise, but either way, Brown is only worth considering as McCoy insurance, as he's in no danger of supplanting the Eagles' starting back, who has recorded 59 carries (to Brown's nine) through three games.

Brown is active for the Eagles on Sunday, while Dion Lewis is a healthy scratch.

Analysis: It appears as though Brown has supplanted Lewis as the No. 2 running back in Philadelphia, so those looking to hedge against a LeSean McCoy injury should adjust accordingly.

Brown may see a few carries in Week 1 with teammate Dion Lewis inactive Sunday.

Analysis: LeSean McCoy figures to take on the bulk of the workload, but Brown and Chris Polk will serve as the backups in Week 1. It's possible that Browns will unseat Lewis for the No. 2 job if he continues to impress, but McCoy's heavy workload yields little for his backups when he's healthy.

Brown had nine carries for 20 yards and a touchdown, as well as three catches for 30 yards, during Thursday's preseason win against the Jets.

Analysis: Brown has been quite impressive during the preseason and seems to have done enough to earn a roster spot. With Dion Lewis and Chris Polk as his competition, it's certainly possible he could be the top backup. Just remember that Ronnie Brown had that role previously behind LeSean McCoy with very little playing time.

Brown had nine carries for 51 yards and caught two passes for 16 yards in Monday's preseason win over the Patriots.

Analysis: The Eagles took a flyer on Brown in the seventh round of April's NFL draft and it looks they may have landed themselves a diamond in the rough, as the 6-0 223-pounder showed solid speed and vision Monday, albeit against a New England defense that sat several key starters.

Brown ran three times for 33 yards and caught two passes for 16 yards during Thursday's 24-23 preseason victory over Pittsburgh.

Analysis: The Eagles went pass-crazy in this one, and only racked up 14 carries as a team, but Brown put together a nice effort nonetheless. Dion Lewis is still the favorite to win the No. 2 running back job, but Brown will have plenty of chances to make a statement with three preseason games remaining.

CSN Philadelphia expects Brown to compete with Dion Lewis for the backup spot behind LeSean McCoy.

Analysis: Brown is much more athletically talented than Lewis, but there's reason to believe he's not as smart or disciplined as Lewis. Of course, the latter point could be negated by Lewis' recent arrest.

Brown agreed to a four-year contract on Friday.

Analysis: A seventh round pick, Brown will challenge in training camp for a backup spot behind LeSean McCoy.
