PHOENIX – It appears the injury bug may have bit the Arizona Cardinals and wide receiver John Brown once again.
Cardinals head coach Bruce Arians told SiriusXM NFL Radio on Tuesday that he does not expect the fourth-year wide out to play against the Jaguars Sunday due to a turf toe injury suffered against the Texans.
.@BruceArians tells @SiriusXMNFL he doesn't expect WR John Brown (turf toe) to play Sunday v @Jaguars. @AZCardinals are promoting WR Carlton Agudosi from practice squad. Carlton often battles @P2 in practice.

The first mention of Brown’s injury came on Monday when Arians spoke with reporters at the Cardinals practice facility.
Arians also told SiriusXM Tuesday that the Cardinals promoted wide receiver Carlton Agudosi from the practice squad, which was previously reported by the NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport.
If Brown is unable to play against Jacksonville it will be the fourth game missed this season by the 27-year-old wide out, who missed the first three games of the season with a quadriceps injury.
In eight games played, Brown has logged 19 receptions for 271 yards and two touchdowns.
