The Saints released Brown (calf) with an injury settlement Thursday, removing him from injured reserve, the New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.

EDGE Analysis

Brown joined the Saints in May, adding a veteran presence to a receiving corps lacking in experience. However, he failed his pre-training camp physical due to a strained calf, which will bring his brief tenure in New Orleans to a close. The severity of the injury will likely determine when he receives a chance with another organization.

Brown was placed on injured reserve on Tuesday due to his ailing calf, Josh Katzenstein of the Times-Picayune reports.

EDGE Analysis

Brown moving to the injured reserve reserve list opens up a spot in the Saints' wide receiver competition, as he was expected to compete for a roster spot due to his level of experience. However, the veteran wideout wasn't expected to achieve much fantasy relevance in the case that he did make the roster.

Brown (undisclosed) will begin training camp on the Saints' active/PUP list, ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Saints took a flier on Brown in an effort to deepen their wide out corps in May, presumably to add a veteran presence in the aftermath of Marques Colston's release. Being how Brandin Cooks, Brandon Coleman, Willie Snead and Michael Thomas combine for three years of NFL experience, Brown, a five-year NFL veteran, has more experience than the top-four wide receivers currently atop the Saints' depth chart. Should Brown make the final 53-man roster out of camp, he will remain unlikely to achieve fantasy relevance in 2016.

Brown is expected to sign with the Saints, ESPN's Adam Caplin reports.

EDGE Analysis

Brown was released by the Chargers back in December after playing just one game last season. Over the course of his 38 career games played, Brown has caught 73 passes for 941 yards and three touchdowns. With numbers like those, Brown brings decent experience, but will have to compete for a place in the Saints' passing game over the course of this summer.

Brown was released by the Chargers on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Originally selected by the Chargers in the third round of the 2011 NFL Draft, Brown owns a 73-941-3 receiving line (on 133 targets) over the course of five NFL seasons. He shouldn't have any trouble finding a team that will let him compete for a roster spot next year, but he's unlikely to have a significant impact regardless of where he lands.

Brown is inactive Sunday against the Dolphins.

EDGE Analysis

With Dontrelle Inman back in action this week, Brown is the odd man out in the Chargers' Week 15 wideout corps.

Brown caught one pass on two targets for 22 yards in Sunday's loss at Kansas City.

EDGE Analysis

Brown was signed earlier in the week to help out a Chargers receiving corps that has been decimated by injuries, but he was only able to make one grab. Still, his one catch was actually a pretty big one as it represented a key fourth down conversion as the Chargers tried to come back on their last possession of the game. With another week of practice under his belt, perhaps Brown will be able to contribute more next week against the Dolphins.

Brown is signing with the Chargers on Tuesday, NFL.com's Ian Rapoport reports.

EDGE Analysis

San Diego's third-round selection in the 2011 NFL Draft, Brown never panned out as expected and has since bounced around the league. He has just 72 catches in 37 career games, and even with the Chargers decimated by injuries, Brown will likely just serve as the fourth of fifth wide receiver. He could, however, have a role in the Week 14 gameplan, especially if both Stevie Johnson (groin) and Dontrelle Inman (neck) are unable to play.

Brown is scheduled to work out for the Rams this week, ESPN's Adam Caplan reports.

EDGE Analysis

Brown, a third round-pick in the 2011 NFL Draft, has just 72 catches in 37 career games. Even on a team without much talent at his position, he'd likely just be fourth or fifth on the depth chart.

Brown was released by the Colts, ESPN reports.

EDGE Analysis

A third-round draft pick back in 2011, Brown has never caught more than 41 passes in a season.
