Per Twitter:

 

WR Philly Brown has a subluxed shoulder and his playing status may come down to his pain tolerance. He'll be evaluated throughout the week.

 

 

 

Shoulder Subluxation:

 

Glenohumeral subluxation is defined as a partial or incomplete dislocation that usually stems from changes in the mechanical integrity of the joint. In a subluxation, the humeral head slips out of the glenoid cavity as a result of weakness in the rotator cuff or a blow to the shoulder area. A subluxation can occur in one of three types: anterior (forward), posterior (backward), and inferior (downward). The difference with a shoulder dislocation is the fact that the humeral head pops back into its socket. A subluxation can occur in one of three types: anterior (forward), posterior (backward), and inferior (downward). Anterior dislocation often occurs when the arm is outstretched and is forced backwards. [21]
