Pro Football Talk's Mike Florio reports that former Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Antonio Brown has fled the United States while evading a warrant for an attempted murder charge. The incident stems from a shooting outside a celebrity boxing event in Miami on May 16, in which he claimed he was the victim of an assault. However, it's alleged that Brown "punched a man during a brawl, then grabbed a firearm from a security officer and fired two shots as he chased the same individual." Anything the former wideout says at this point must be taken with a grain of salt. However, if he's being truthful, the warrant for his arrest won't be resolved anytime soon.

Houston Texans wide receivers Christian Kirk (hamstring) and Braxton Berrios (hamstring) were both limited in practice for the second straight day this week on Thursday, according to Jonathan M. Alexander of the Houston Chronicle. Kirk and Berrios both missed the first two weeks of the season with their hamstring injuries, but they are both expected to make their season debuts this Sunday against the division-rival Jacksonville Jaguars. The 28-year-old Kirk is expected to operate as Houston's starting slot receiver when he's healthy, although he'll make for a pretty risky flex option for fantasy managers if he makes his team debut this weekend. Kirk's return will take a lot of attention away from stud WR1 Nico Collins, though, for a Texans offense that has not impressed early on. Rookies Jayden Higgins and Jaylin Noel will have a harder time contributing with Kirk in the fold.
