September 15, 2008 Levi Brown strained his left knee during battle with Miami Sunday, but said he was fine following the game, according to the East Valley Tribune.
Our View:This is good news, but he is still merely adequate as a starting right tackle.
September 14, 2008 Rookie tackle Levi Brown left Sunday's game in the third quarter with an apparent leg injury.
Our View:We'll update you on Brown's status when more is known.
March 3, 2008 Head coach Ken Whisenhunt is impressed by the by the resilience of 2007 first-round draft pick Levi Brown, who had his share of ups and downs as the team’s starting right tackle this past season, according to Pro Football Weekly. “The biggest thing I noticed with Levi is he continued to improve,” Whisenhunt told PFW at the NFL Scouting Combine. “He had a tough game against Seattle late in the season when he gave up a couple of sacks to a pretty good player (Patrick Kerney), and a lot of times when that happens with a young player, they will be shell-shocked and not play with confidence the next week. It actually went the other way with Levi. He stood up and played maybe his best two games after that. I know he’s committed. He’s already been in our complex.” This is good news for Arizona, as the coaching staff wants to feature a power running game in 2008. Look for the Cardinals to draft a back on the first day to team with Edgerrin James next season.
October 19, 2007 Cardinals right tackle Levi Brown participated in a full practice on Wednesday for the first time in nearly a month thanks to an ankle sprain. He has missed the last three games and his availability for Sunday will be determined by how he responds to an increased workload this week. However, coach Ken Whisenhunt told the Arizona Republic, “he should be OK for the game.”
Our View:If the coach says he’s playing, we’re going to go ahead and assume he’s playing. Getting Brown back will only help Edgerrin James continue what has been a solid season so far.
October 3, 2007 Rookie left tackle Levi Brown is questionable for Sunday's tilt against the Rams with an ankle injury. Brown took place in some practice Wednesday, but spent most of the day in rehab. If Brown is unable to go Elton Brown will start in his place.
