    Chargers Vincent Brown Breaks Ankle (6-8 weeks out)

    Chargers WR Vincent Brown breaks ankle vs. Cowboys
    By: By Marc Sessler



    San Diego Chargers wide receiver Vincent Brown left Saturday night's preseason game against the Dallas Cowboys with a left ankle injury and will not return, the team announced.

    Brown was carted off in the third quarter after catching an 18-yard touchdown strike from backup quarterback Charlie Whitehurst, cutting the Cowboys' lead to 10-7. Brown left the game with two catches for 31 yards.

    Brown is viewed in San Diego as an heir apparent to Vincent Jackson. The 2011 third-round draft pick finished last season with 19 catches for 329 yards and two scores, and he's expected to play a larger role this season.

    Brown generated significant buzz during training camp amid whispers that he was outplaying starter Robert Meachem.

    "He's had a great offseason, he's in the middle of having an outstanding training camp, and he obviously is a playmaker," Chargers coach Norv Turner told the team's official website earlier in the week.

    UPDATE: Kevin Acee of U-T San Diego reported Brown suffered a broken ankle and will undergo surgery Sunday. He's expected to miss at least eight weeks, a significant blow to the offense. "He's our best receiver," one veteran told Acee.
    This sucks for him after seeing the video it wasn't anything dirty just the way they both fell.
