Brown, a first-time Pro Bowler last season and the team's leading receiver, suffered the chest injury in the third quarter of last week's game against Houston and did not return. He'll miss his second game of the season Sunday.

Evans will miss his fifth straight game, Long will miss his third in a row and McNichols and Davis will miss their second consecutive contest.

Tart was carted to the locker room during last week's game against the Texans.
