As a general rule of thumb, if I have a solid alternative for a player returning from injury, I prefer to give them a game to shake off the rust. That's a sliding scale, though. Brown hasn't played since Week 1. His absence is the longest of the bunch, which could mean the most rust to shake off.

Shepardson recommends benching Brown to let him shake off rust.

Josh Shepardson's general rule of thumb is to give injured players returning from time off a game to shake off rust if a solid alternative is available. For A.J. Brown specifically, the source recommends caution given his longest absence (since Week 1), incomplete practice participation, and the lingering effects of high-ankle sprains on performance, making him a riskier start than other injured options.
