Brown is set to sign a one-year deal with the Bengals, Andrew Callahan of the Boston Herald reports.

EDGE Analysis

By adding the 30-year-old -- who started at left tackle for the Patriots last season -- the Bengals have filled the void created by the free-agent departure of Jonah Williams. Brown, who is listed at 6-foot-8, 370 pounds, gives his new team a versatile lineman who can work as a bookend tackle opposite 6-foot-8, 345-pounder Orlando Brown.

Brown's contract voided Monday after failing to reach an extension with the Patriots, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Patriots will carry a $2 million dead cap into 2024 from Brown's previous contract as a result. The 30-year-old has spent his previous three seasons in New England. He played in 11 games in 2023 and started eight.

Brown (illness) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Jets, Zack Cox of NESN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The 30-year-old offensive lineman was unable to practice all week due to an illness, so it's no surprise that he'll be inactive Sunday. Vederian Lowe is expected to get the nod at left tackle in Brown's stead.

Brown (hand) is active for Sunday's game against the Broncos.

EDGE Analysis

Brown was held out of the Patriots' Week 15 loss to the Chiefs but will play Sunday after logging limited practice sessions all week. He'll slate back into his starting spot at left tackle.

Brown (hand) will not play in Sunday's matchup with the Chiefs.

EDGE Analysis

Brown's absence means Conor McDermott is the most likely candidate to replace him at left tackle to protect Bailey Zappe's blind side. However, the Pats could also opt to slide Mike Onwenu to that side of the line. Brown's next chance to suit up will come in one week versus the Broncos.

Brown (ankle) is active Sunday against the Giants.

EDGE Analysis

Brown will be back on the field after a two-game absence and after logging limited practice sessions throughout the week. His return should be good news for the Patriots offensive line, as the Florida product returns as the team's starting left tackle.

Brown (ankle) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's game against the Giants.

EDGE Analysis

Brown was able to log limited practice sessions throughout the week after missing the Patriots' last two games with an ankle issue. If Brown were to miss his third consecutive game Sunday, Vederian Lowe would likely start at left tackle.

Brown (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's matchup with the Colts, Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Brown will be forced to miss a second game in a row while nursing an ankle injury. In his place, Vederian Lowe will likely draw the start at left tackle.

Brown (ankle) is inactive ahead of Sunday's game against the Commanders.

EDGE Analysis

Brown was able to log a limited practice session Friday after recording DNPs on both Wednesday and Thursday, but the veteran tackle won't be able to play through his ankle issue this Sunday. Vederian Lowe or Conor McDermott is expected to start at left tackle in Brown's stead.

Brown (concussion) has cleared the league's protocols and will play in Sunday's game versus the Jets, Mark Daniels of The Providence Journal reports.

EDGE Analysis

Brown will return from a one-game absence due to the concussion he sustained in Week 1. Barring any setbacks, he should take on his usual role protecting Mac Jones' blind side at left tackle.
