The Buccaneers elevated Brown from their practice squad Saturday, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Brown joined Tampa Bay's practice squad Jan. 13 but didn't join the active roster for last week's wild-card win over Philadelphia. The 31-year-old could carve out a slight role in the passing game if Cyril Grayson (hamstring) is ruled out, but he's unlikely to see a significant target share in Sunday's divisional-round matchup against the Rams.

Buccaneers head coach Bruce Arians suggested Wednesday that Brown could be called up from the practice squad for Sunday's divisional-round game against the Rams, Greg Auman of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Brown, who previously worked with Arians during their time together in Arizona, signed with the Bucs' practice squad last week but didn't get the call for their wild-card win over the Eagles. It's possible he enters the mix this week, especially if Breshad Perriman has any setbacks with his hip injury and Cyril Grayson is out another week with a hamstring injury. Still, Brown would likely just be in in line for a part-time role after he didn't impress enough to earn an extended stay with any of the Raiders, Broncos or Jaguars earlier this season.

The Buccaneers didn't elevate Brown from their practice squad ahead of Sunday's wild-card matchup against the Eagles, Greg Auman of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Brown joined the Buccaneers' practice squad Thursday but won't join the active roster as an additional depth option for Sunday's playoff opener. It's not yet clear whether he'll be elevated if the Buccaneers advance to the divisional round.

Brown has been signed to the Buccaneers' practice squad.

EDGE Analysis

Brown last caught a regular-season NFL pass in 2020, when he was with the Bills, but he'll give the Buccaneers some added depth at wide receiver in advance of the team's postseason run. With Chris Godwin (knee) on IR, Antonio Brown no longer in the mix and Cyril Grayson dealing with a hamstring issue, it's plausible that John Brown could be promoted to the active roster before long. The 31-year-old wideout thus is reunited with coach Bruce Arians, who worked with Brown for four seasons (2014 through 2017) while the two were with the Cardinals.

The Jaguars released Brown from their practice squad Monday, John Shipley of SI.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The John Brown experiment has ended after two games as the Jaguars continue to try and find a deep threat at wide receiver. The veteran wideout only played seven snaps for Jacksonville over the last two weeks -- three in Week 11 and four in Week 12 -- and didn't register a single catch despite being targeted twice.

The Jaguars have elevated Brown to the active roster for Sunday's game against the Falcons, Michael DiRocco of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Brown was brought up to the active roster ahead of the team's Week 11 loss to the 49ers, but he played just four offensive snaps. He will likely have a similar role during Sunday's matchup with the Falcons.

Brown has reverted to the Jaguars' practice squad per the NFL's transaction report.

EDGE Analysis

Brown was brought up to the active roster ahead of the team's Week 11 loss to the 49ers. He ended up seeing the field for four offensive snaps, but did not see any targets.

Brown was elevated from the Jaguars' practice squad ahead of Sunday's game against the 49ers.

EDGE Analysis

Brown has spent just under two weeks on the Jaguars' practice squad and will provide extra depth at wide receiver Sunday. He made two appearances with the Broncos earlier in the year but failed to haul in his lone target.

Brown was signed to Jacksonville's practice squad Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Brown was let go by the Broncos in late October and will now link up with the Jaguars. The 31-year-old was a gameday elevation from the practice squad in two games for Denver and failed to catch his lone target.

Brown was released by the Broncos on Tuesday after being reverted to the practice squad, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

The wide receiver was active the last two games for the Broncos, failing to reel in a catch with one target over those contests. Brown reverted to the practice following Week 7, and with Jerry Jeudy (ankle) expected to return Week 8, the team decided to cut him loose. The 31-year-old will now search for a new squad going into middle of the regular season.
