The Rams waived Brown (hamstring) Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
With rookie fifth-rounder Kyren Williams finally active and back in the fold, the Rams saw fit to send Brown to waivers ahead of Week 10. Unless he's claimed by another team during the current waiver period, Brown is set to become an unrestricted free agent.

Brown (hamstring) is listed as out for Sunday's game against the Cardinals, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Brown's absence this weekend eliminates some of the clutter from the Rams backfield, which already includes Darrell Henderson, Cam Akers and rookie Kyren Williams (ankle), who is expected to return from injured reserve to make his first appearance since Week 1 on Sunday. Though Brown has been a core special-teams contributor for the Rams when available this season, his already scarce opportunities out of the backfield could become even more limited moving forward now that Williams is in line to be part of the mix.

Brown (hamstring) didn't practice Thursday, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
With no practice yet under his belt this week due to a hamstring issue, Brown isn't in a great spot as the Rams prepare for Sunday's divisional matchup with the Cardinals. His status may clear up on Friday's injury report, but if Brown is limited or out this weekend, Darrell Henderson and Cam Akers will be L.A.'s running back duo for Week 10. Meanwhile, Kyren Williams (ankle) could be activated from injured reserve, and Ronnie Rivers is a candidate to be elevated from the practice squad.

Brown missed Wednesday's practice with a hamstring injury, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.
EDGE Analysis
Brown played 22-to-28 percent of the offensive snaps in each of the Rams' past three games, totaling 14 carries for 34 yards and two catches for 23 yards. His limited role may not last, given that he's now dealing with a hamstring injury while rookie RB Kyren Williams (ankle) may be ready to come off injured reserve for Sunday's game against the Cardinals.

Brown rushed twice for nine yards and caught his lone target for 10 yards in Sunday's 16-13 loss to the Buccaneers.
EDGE Analysis
Brown's usage with the Rams has trended downward in recent weeks, and he saw the field for only 16 snaps on offense while sharing backup duties with the returning Cam Akers. Despite fellow running back Ronnie Rivers not seeing a snap on offense, Brown's prospects are likely dimming with Kyren Williams (ankle) also close to a return, adding yet another mouth to feed at what has been an ineffective Rams running back stable through the first half of the season.

Brown carried the ball five times for 10 yards in Sunday's 31-14 loss to the 49ers.
EDGE Analysis
Brown saw his role diminish a little in Week 8, as he played only 11 offensive snaps in the contest. Ronnie Rivers absorbed some of the extra backfield touches, rushing the ball a team-high eight times while playing 21 snaps in the loss. It's possible that Brown has been supplanted by Rivers as the top option behind Darrell Henderson at running back while Kyren Williams (ankle) could completely knock Brown out of the rotation when he returns.

Brown carried the ball seven times for 15 yards and caught his only target for 13 yards in Sunday's 24-10 win over the Panthers.
EDGE Analysis
Cam Akers (personal) may have played his last game for the Rams, so Brown reclaimed his role as the team's No. 2 running back behind Darrell Henderson and saw his first touches of the season. The veteran back doesn't have much upside however, and his modest workload could be threatened after the Rams' Week 7 bye if rookie Kyren Williams (ankle) is ready to come off injured reserve.

The Rams signed Brown off their practice squad to the active roster Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Brown was elevated to the Rams' active roster for the team's loss to the 49ers and made his 2022 season debut, totaling seven snaps (two offensive). As long as Kyren Williams (ankle) remains on IR, Brown is expected to serve as depth behind Cam Akers, Darrell Henderson and Jake Funk, but barring an injury to one of those backs, Brown doesn't figure to get many opportunities on offense.

Brown reverted to the Rams' practice squad Tuesday, per the NFL's transaction log.
EDGE Analysis
Brown made his first appearance of the 2022 season, but he totaled just seven snaps (two offensive) and didn't record any counting stats. He'll be a potential elevation candidate as long as Kyren Williams (ankle) remains on IR, but barring an injury to Cam Akers or Darrell Henderson, Brown isn't expected to garner a major offensive role for the Rams this season.

Brown was elevated to the Rams' active roster ahead of Monday's game with the 49ers.
EDGE Analysis
Brown joined the team's practice squad Sept. 22 and this will be his first game action since re-joining the Rams. With Cam Akers, Darrell Henderson and Jake Funk all healthy, it's unclear what role to expect Brown to play Monday against the 49ers.
