The Jaguars claimed Brown off waivers from the Raiders on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Brown will add depth to the Jaguars injury-riddled linebacker corps going forward, and he'll have a shot at a starting role right off the bat. The sixth-year linebacker could come in handy Sunday against the Raiders, as Brown should have a good grasp on their system after spending the last four weeks with them.

The Raiders waived Brown on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Brown spent less than a month with the Raiders, suiting up in one game and playing 17 defensive snaps. The 27-year-old linebacker didn't seem to be a good fit, but it wouldn't be surprising if another team took a flier on the sixth-year pro.

The Raiders signed Brown to the 53-man roster Monday, Scott Bair of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

EDGE Analysis

Brown cleared waivers after the Bengals cut him last Tuesday, and he'll push for the starting middle linebacker role in Oakland. The Raiders haven't found a full-time replacement at the position since Vontaze Burfict was suspended for the rest of the year. Brown -- a third-round pick in the 2014 draft -- should fit the scheme after playing in a 4-3 system with Cincinnati. The 27-year-old posted 54 tackles through nine games with the Bengals.

The Bengals waived Brown on Tuesday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Bengals inked Brown to a three-year, $16.5 million deal with $4.48 million guaranteed in March, making him the team's most expensive linebacker. The 27-year-old has 54 tackles (27 solo) and a forced fumble through the first nine winless games, and coach Zac Taylor decided it was time for a change.

Brown made 14 tackles (four solo) in Sunday's loss to the 49ers.

EDGE Analysis

The 49ers ran the ball 42 times in this contest, which gave Brown plenty of action but was also a result of the Bengals' inability to stop the run (6.2 YPC). Brown had IDP value in this contest, but this is the ceiling with few teams expected to run as much as the 49ers did Sunday.

Brown had to lose over 20 pounds this summer as part of his recovery from multiple injuries last season, Jay Morrison of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Brown ate poorly after getting knocked out for the season, loading up on carbs without running them off. This summer he underwent an intensive four-week training session and now uses a special chef to make sure he's eating healthy. The Bengals are counting on him to call the defensive signals from his linebacker spot this season.

Brown (ankle/knee) was cleared to resume all football activities, Paul Dehner Jr. of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

EDGE Analysis

Brown missed the last seven games of the regular season due to the injury, so this news is a welcomed sign, especially after signing a new contract Tuesday. Before the injury, the Louisville product racked up 42 tackles (27 solo) and two interceptions in seven games. Dehner Jr. also noted that Brown wants to shed 15 pounds this offseason, which could make him quicker going forward.

Brown came to terms Tuesday with the Bengals on a three-year, $21 million contract, Fletcher Page of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

EDGE Analysis

Brown played just seven games during an injury plagued 2018 season that saw him end up on IR. He totaled 42 tackles (27 solo) and four passes defensed, including two interceptions on the year. At the very least, he'll help shore up the Bengals' defense once again in 2019, though Brown could be pushed to the outside if the team invests an early-round selection in a middle linebacker.

The Bengals placed Brown (leg) on injured reserve Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Brown injured his leg against the Saints in Week 10, and he was originally expected to miss multiple weeks, though the exact extent of the injury wasn't disclosed. Now, the linebacker will miss the rest of the season after being placed on injured reserve.

Brown (leg) was ruled out for Sunday's game against the Ravens, Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The leg injury Brown sustained last Sunday against the Saints is expected to sidelined him for multiple weeks, so this isn't surprising. The specifics of the injury remain unclear, but the 26-year-old will miss at least one game, while a multi-game absence remains a distinct possibility. Nick Vigil (knee) has also been ruled out while Vontaze Burfict (hip) has some hope to return since his is listed as questionable.
