Tyler Lockett, DK Metcalf and David Moore will all have to step up now that the receiver depth chart has lost another member.

It's officially John Ursua season, as Seattle will have only four healthy receivers going into today's wild card game.
Brown was fourth among that group and had 16 receptions for 220 yards this season. His best game came in Cleveland when he had his only two receiving touchdowns of the year.
His absence may mean John Ursua gets some playing time. The 2019 seventh-round pick made his first catch of the season in Week 17, which was the play that got the Seahawks to the one-yard-line before the breakdown that occurred at the end of the game.
The rookie may have to make another huge play and step up on short notice.
