Brown (concussion) has no injury designation ahead of Sunday's game against the Cardinals, Curtis Crabtree of Fox 13 Seattle reports.
ANALYSIS
After beginning the Seahawks' week of practice with a DNP, Brown was able to log back-to-back full sessions, which makes it seem as if the 27-year-old has moved past his concussion. Expect Brown to start at center for Seattle in a Week 18 matchup that could be crucial for the team's playoff chances.

Joining Seattle
Brown signed a contract with the Seahawks on Thursday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Brown spent last season with the Lions filling in at center and guard, starting 12 of the 14 games he appeared in. What role he may play for Seattle remains to be seen, but he could potentially fill a starter role at either guard spot or center.
Dec 15, 2022
Back to full activity
Brown (ankle) practiced fully Thursday, per the team's official site.
ANALYSIS
Brown's return as a full participant in Thursday's session puts him in line to reclaim his usual starting right guard spot Sunday versus the Jets, after he had missed each of Detroit's previous three games due to an ankle injury.
Dec 11, 2022
Unable to suit up Sunday
Brown (ankle) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Vikings.
ANALYSIS
As expected, Brown is now slated to miss his third consecutive contest as a result of the ankle injury he suffered back in Week 11 versus the Giants. With fellow linemen Kayode Awosika (ankle), Halapoulivaati Vaitai (back) and Tommy Kraemer (back) all ruled out this weekend, Logan Stenberg appears in line to start at right guard against Minnesota.
Dec 9, 2022
Unlikely to face Vikings
Brown (ankle) is doubtful for Sunday's game against the Vikings.
ANALYSIS
Brown practiced in limited fashion throughout the week while nursing his ankle injury. If he is unable to suit up, the Lions will be down to Logan Stenberg -- typically third on the depth chart -- as their starting right guard.
Dec 2, 2022
Set for second consecutive absence
Brown (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Jaguars, Tim Twentyman of the Lions' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Brown couldn't log any practice participation throughout the week, so it's not a surprise to see him ruled out. He's now set for his second consecutive absence. Kayode Awosika is likely to step in at right guard in Brown's absence.
Nov 24, 2022
Out for Thanksgiving
Brown (knee) will not be available for the Lions' Thanksgiving matchup with the Bills.
ANALYSIS

Nov 20, 2022
Leaves with injury
Brown has exited Sunday's game against the Giants with an ankle injury.
ANALYSIS
Brown is questionable to return to the contest, leaving the Lions banged up at the center position. Frank Ragnow, the starter, is active, but did come into the game nursing a foot injury.
Mar 14, 2022
Signs one-year contract with Lions
Brown (ankle) will sign a one-year contract with the Lions on Sunday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Brown started 12 games last season with Frank Ragnow (toe) banged up, and he'll be rewarded with a one-year deal rather than becoming a restricted free agent. The 25-year-old suffered an ankle injury during the Lions' regular-season finale but should be healthy for offseason activities. However, he'll likely shift to a backup role since Ragnow is expected to be a full participant in the team's offseason training program.
Jan 9, 2022
Questionable to return
Brown (ankle) is questionable to return Sunday against the Packers.
ANALYSIS
Brown suffered the injury in the first half. While Brown is sidelined, Ryan McCollum will likely get the work at center.
Dec 16, 2021
Back from COVID list
The Lions activated Brown (illness) from the reserve/COVID-19 list Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
Brown can thus return to team facilities, putting him on track to suit up for Sunday's game against the Cardinals. With Frank Ragnow (toe) out for the season, Brown has been filling in as Detroit's starting center.
Dec 8, 2021
Tests positive for COVID-19
Brown's placement on the reserve/COVID-19 list Monday was the result of a positive test, Doug Kyed of Pro Football Focus reports.
ANALYSIS
Unless he's unvaccinated, Brown will still have a chance to gain clearance ahead of Sunday's game in Denver if he tests negative twice at least 24 hours apart and is asymptomatic for a 48-hour period. The 25-year-old has been filling in as the Lions' starting center since Frank Ragnow landed on injured reserve in October with a season-ending toe injury.
Dec 6, 2021
Placed on reserve/COVID-19 list
Brown was placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list Monday.
ANALYSIS
Brown has been the Lions' starting center since Week 4, when Frank Ragnow suffered a season ending toe injury. If he were to miss Sunday against the Broncos, Ryan McCollum would likely step into the starting job.
Jul 30, 2021
Put on NFI list
Brown (undisclosed) was placed on the non-football injury list Wednesday, NFL reporter Aaron Wilson reports.
ANALYSIS
Brown will look to heal up and try to secure a spot as a depth option along the Lions' offensive line.
Nov 5, 2020

Joins Browns
Cleveland inked Brown to a contract Thursday, Dan Labbe of Cleveland.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Brown spent the past season with the Dolphins, appearing in three contests as a depth lineman. He'll likely be used in a similar capacity in 2020 with JC Tretter handling starting duties.
