The Panthers waived Brown (thumb) on Tuesday, David Newton of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Brown spent the first 15 weeks of the season on injured reserve after he was hurt during the preseason. The 31-year-old cornerback has 96 career games of experience after spending seven seasons in Dallas before one with San Francisco in 2023.

The Panthers placed Brown (thumb) on injured reserve Monday, Darin Gantt of the team's official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Brown left Saturday's 15-12 preseason loss to the Jets with a thumb issue, and it now appears that the injury has landed him on IR. The 30-year-old cornerback was likely fighting for a depth role in the Panthers' secondary, but he'll now be forced to miss all of 2024 unless he and Carolina reach an injury settlement at some point this season.

Brown left Saturday's preseason contest against the Jets due to a thumb injury, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Brown is likely fighting for one of the final spots on the active roster come the start of the season, so any missed time could be critical for his chances. Expect D'Shawn Jamison to see a few more snaps in Brown's absence.

The Panthers signed Brown to the 90-man training camp roster Saturday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

EDGE Analysis

Brown appeared in two regular-season games for the 49ers in 2023, playing just one snap on defense and three snaps on special teams before being released in late October. The 2016 sixth-round pick out of Purdue had his most productive season in 2021 with the Cowboys, when he registered 71 tackles (59 solo), 17 passes defended, three interceptions, one forced fumble and one touchdown across 16 regular-season games. Brown will work to earn a depth spot at corner behind starters Jaycee Horn and Dane Jackson.

The 49ers released Brown on Tuesday.

Brown was signed off Pittsburgh's practice squad in response to cornerbacks Samuel Womack (knee) and Ambry Thomas (knee) suffering injuries over the past two weeks. The 29-year-old has appeared in 94 games throughout his seven years in the league, tallying 324 tackles, 59 pass deflections and nine interceptions.

Brown (Achilles) had a tryout with the Jets on Monday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

Brown ruptured his Achilles tendon in Week 13 of last season. Prior to the injury, he had recorded 42 tackles (33 solo) across 12 games. The veteran cornerback's tryout with New York seemingly indicates he is recovered from the injury and looking for a new opportunity.

Dallas placed Brown (Achilles) on its injured reserve list Saturday, Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Brown sustained a ruptured Achilles tendon in the Cowboys' win versus Indianapolis in Week 13, and he'll now spend the remainder of the season on the injured reserve list. In his absence, rookie fifth-rounder DaRon Bland should operate as Dallas' second boundary corner across from Trevon Diggs.
