I don't think Brown is a lock the way some people do, and if that's the case there would be room for Austin, Smith and Wilson.
first up though is the condition and issue of Noah's knee.
It was initially ruled as a knee scope before camp but he's ended up missing the entire camp and preseason, and hasn't participated in practice as of yet, and it's getting that much closer to
regular season. So it could have the look of a PUP list situation to start the season for Brown.
And if we go back to his CBS appearance during the Niners game, Stephen jones has already publicly stated that Noah Brown will be a part of this team,
and it's also not a lock that we will carry six WRs on the 53 roster, what if the club decides to go shorter at WR unit, to have a better chance to go longer at DL unit ?
Could there be a good chance that we go just five WRs instead of six ?
I do think Austin has this team made.
and imo, if it comes down to Wilson vs Smith- I really believe Cedrick W. gets that final WR roster spot because of his ability to play the slot and contributed as a punt returner.
