But simply being back on the field, allowed to participate at least at a walk-through pace again, feels like the start of something special in this phase of Brown&#8217;s career.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I was talking to <a class=\"nfl-o-cta--link nfl-o-cta--underline\" style=\"word-break: break-word\" href=\"https:\/\/www.panthers.com\/team\/players-roster\/a-shawn-robinson\/\" title=\"A&#039;Shawn Robinson\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">A&#8217;Shawn Robinson<\/a> yesterday, and he&#8217;s like, you&#8217;ll be good,&#8221; Brown said. &#8220;I&#8217;m like, it&#8217;s like you go to the playground. You got the basketball when you&#8217;re a little kid, and they play with your ball, but then everybody else is playing. You have to sit out and watch. It sucks, but it&#8217;s one of those things that you know it&#8217;s just part of the process.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>By the time training camp rolls around in approximately five weeks, the Panthers are hopeful to have their Pro Bowl defensive tackle back at full strength. Brown says he is &#8220;very close&#8221; and expects to be ready by camp as well, albeit with load management.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Hopefully, in the next few weeks, I get cleared. So that&#8217;s the goal,&#8221; Brown revealed. &#8220;And then, at that point, it&#8217;s just getting back in football shape and, you know, being able to go out there and play with a team; that&#8217;s what&#8217;s on my mind, to be honest.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Brown is still limited in practice as he continues to rehab from the knee injury.
