Offensive tackle Charles Brown aware that he needs to stay healthy

By Nakia Hogan, NOLA.com | The Times-Picayune

When the New Orleans Saints' first-team offense broke the huddle for the team portion of Tuesday's minicamp practice, fourth-year offensive tackle Charles Brown lined up at left tackle.

That little tidbit could constitute as big news for the often-injured Brown, who is in the midst of a three-man competition with free-agent signee Jason Smith and rookie third-round pick Terron Armstead for the starting position.

Brown, a former second-round pick, missed a portion of the first week of the Saints' organized team activities after injuring his back while pulling a sled during a workout session.

Brown is healthy now. But that setback followed a familiar pattern of him showing flashes of his abilities, only to have those glimpses be followed by stints on the injury report.

There is no medicine discovered yet, that can heal like "the next man on the depth chart getting it done".

Jason Smith looks rather beastly compared to Brown.

Jason Smith looks rather beastly compared to Brown.

And thus the top 10 pick in the draft.

That's a whole lot of bust right there in that pic. 1st round bust of 2009 meets the 2nd bust of 2010 in an epic bust faceoff. May the best bust win

Wow he needs to get in shape maybe he keeps pulling muscle and breaking ankle because he is not a gym rat and when he does work out he over works his self and causes the injuries that happened to my friend zack and he now plays at USC

Argh. Anybody else who can compete for a spot at LT besides these three? Bryce Harris?
