Brown finished Friday's Week 13 loss to Chicago with six tackles (three solo).

EDGE Analysis

Brown was on the field for all but two of Philadelphia's 87 defensive snaps as he moved into a starting role as a result of Andrew Mukuba (ankle) landing on IR on Wednesday. Mukuba could very well be out for the remainder of the season, so Brown figures to retain the starting role moving forward. Prior to Friday, he had been working mostly on special teams this season.

Brown is expected to take over as a starting safety for the Eagles following the injury to Andrew Mukuba (ankle) in last Sunday's loss to the Cowboys, Martin Frank of The Delaware News Journal reports.

EDGE Analysis

Mukuba is likely to miss at least the remainder of the regular season after suffering a fractured ankle against Dallas. Brown has started just seven of his 36 career regular-season contests during his three-year career, but he's next up alongside Reed Blankenship on the back end of the Philadelphia defense. Brown has logged just 86 defensive snaps through 11 appearances this season.

Brown finished the 2024 season with seven total tackles (six solo), while also adding two passes defensed, including one interception, and a forced fumble over 11 regular-season games.

EDGE Analysis

Brown saw his role on defense diminish in his second season with the Eagles, operating primarily as a special-teams option in 2024. The safety missed the first five games of the year with a knee injury, limiting his upside early in the year. Brown figures to be set to play a similar role with Philadelphia in 2025.

Brown (concussion) is active for Sunday's game against the Commanders.

EDGE Analysis

Brown was diagnosed with a concussion during the Eagles' Week 15 win over the Steelers. He started the week out with a DNP on Wednesday, but he managed to increase his practice participation that culminated in a full practice Friday. Brown has done enough to clear the league's five-step concussion protocols and will suit up in Sunday's NFC East showdown.

Brown (concussion) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's contest against the Steelers, Ralph Vacchiano of Fox Sports reports.

EDGE Analysis

Brown suffered a blow to the head on the game's opening play, ultimately being evaluated for a concussion. It's unclear if he did in fact suffer a concussion, but his day has come to an end regardless. Brown's impact is primarily on special teams, so his absence won't cause any major issues for Philadelphia's defense.

Brown exited Sunday's game versus the Steelers and is being evaluated for a concussion.

EDGE Analysis

Brown is now questionable to return after leaving the game early in the first quarter. If he ends up being unable to return, Tristin McCollum should see an uptick in playing time.

Brown (knee) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's battle against Pittsburgh.

EDGE Analysis

Brown didn't play this past Sunday against Carolina, but he appears set to return against the Steelers. The second-year safety began this week as a DNP, but he progressed to a limited practice Thursday before participating in full Friday. Brown has played primarily on special teams this season while logging just 26 defensive snaps over seven games.

Brown (knee) did not practice Friday and has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Panthers, Tim McManus of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Brown was unable to practice all week due to a knee injury, and his next opportunity to play will be Week 15 against the Steelers on Sunday, Dec. 15. Brown has mostly played on special teams this season, but with Reed Blankenship (concussion) also ruled out for Sunday's game, Tristin McCollum is in line to start at free safety alongside strong safety C.J. Gardner-Johnson.

The Eagles activated Brown (knee) from the reserve/PUP list Saturday, Andrew DiCecco of InsideTheBirds.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Brown opened the season on the reserve/PUP list while recovering from offseason surgery to repair an ACL injury in late January. His 21-day practice window opened Oct. 7, and after practicing as a full participant in all three sessions this week, he's set to make his regular-season debut Sunday against the Giants. Brown played in 14 regular-season games last year and finished with 45 tackles (32 solo), three pass breakups, one forced fumble and a pick-six.

Brown (knee) was listed as a full practice participant on Wednesday's injury report.

EDGE Analysis

Brown underwent surgery in January to repair a torn ACL, which caused him to start the 2024 regular season on injured reserve. The 2023 third-round pick appears to have benefited from the Eagles' Week 5 bye, as he was able to return to practice Wednesday without any limitations. Barring any setbacks, Brown should make his regular-season debut against Cleveland on Sunday.
