Tre Brown Injury News & Updates
Keep up with the latest injuries from the Jets vs Ravens game on Sunday with our National Football League injury report.Oct 28, 2025
Cut by Los Angeles
The Rams released Brown on Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
ANALYSIS
With the Rams' acquisition of Roger McCreary from the Titans on Monday, Brown appears to be the odd man out at cornerback. After signing with the team in September, Brown appeared in five games for Los Angeles, seeing all of his action on special teams.
Sep 16, 2025
Headed to Los Angeles
The Rams signed Brown to a one-year contract Tuesday, Stu Jackson of the team's official site reports.
ANALYSIS
The move gives the Rams additional depth at corner after Ahkello Witherspoon (collarbone) was placed on injured reserve Monday. Brown was part of the 49ers' training-camp roster but was cut with an injury settlement in early September after suffering a heel injury. The 2021 fourth-rounder logged 26 tackles (21 solo) and one pass defense across 13 regular-season games in 2024 as a member of the Seahawks.
Sep 15, 2025
Works out with Washington
The Commanders hosted Brown (heel) for a workout Monday, Howard Balzer of USA Today reports.
ANALYSIS
Brown suffered a heel injury during training camp with the 49ers, and the two sides reached an injury settlement after the 2021 fourth-rounder reverted to injured reserve. Brown played in 13 regular-season games (three starts) for the Seahawks in 2024 and finished with 26 tackles (21 solo) and one pass defense.
Sep 1, 2025
Reaches injury settlement with SF
The 49ers released Brown (heel) off injured reserve with an injury settlement Monday, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Brown hurt his heel in August and consequently landed on IR. He would have missed the 2025 season had he remained there, but since Brown was able to reach an injury settlement with the 49ers, he'll be able to play this year if he gets healthy and finds work.
Aug 21, 2025
Placed on IR
Brown (heel) was placed on injured reserve Thursday.
ANALYSIS
Brown suffered a heel injury at practice last week, which will now force him to miss the entirety of the 2025 campaign. The cornerback would be eligible to return to action this season if he reached an injury settlement with San Francisco, but otherwise, he'll shift his focus to 2026.
Aug 14, 2025
Nursing heel injury
Brown is dealing with a heel injury that puts him in jeopardy of missing Saturday's preseason game against the Raiders, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Brown was limited to individual work this past week while nursing his heel issue. He joins a growing list of 49ers' secondary players who have been held out or limited in practices due to injury, and his absence Saturday would open the door for Darrell Luter, Jakob Robinson, Chase Lucas and Dallis Flowers to see more snaps at corner. Brown signed a one-year contract with the 49ers in March after spending the first four years of his NFL career with the Seahawks.
May 30, 2025
Participating in OTAs
Brown (knee) participated in Thursday's organized team activities, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Brown sustained a knee injury in Seattle's Week 18 win over the Rams, but he now appears to be past the issue. The 27-year-old inked a deal with San Francisco in mid-March after spending the first four years of his career with the Seahawks. Last season, Brown appeared in 13 games and tallied 26 total tackles and one pass defended across 282 defensive snaps. Now with the 49ers, he's expected to play a depth role in the secondary in 2025.
Mar 13, 2025
Signs with San Francisco
Brown (knee) signed with the 49ers on Thursday, Jennifer Lee Chan of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
ANALYSIS
The 2021 fourth-round pick of the Seahawks played out his rookie deal with his original team, making 13 starts in 39 regular-season games, though he only played in five and then six regular-season contests in his first two years due to a knee sprain and a knee injury that required surgery. Brown recorded 26 tackles (21 solo) and a pass defensed on 282 defensive snaps last season, but he also suffered another knee injury in the regular-season finale. In San Francisco, Brown should have a chance to compete for a starting cornerback job.
Jan 5, 2025
Extent of knee injury unknown
Brown (knee) suffered a knee injury and was unable to return to Sunday's 30-25 win over the Rams, Curtis Crabtree of Fox 13 Seattle reports.
ANALYSIS
Brown sustained a knee injury in the first half, ultimately seeing his day come to an end as a result. The cornerback picked up two tackles (one solo) in the contest before departing. Head coach Mike Macdonald said following the contest that the team will "see how long" the cornerback will be sidelined, potentially suggesting that Brown suffered more than a minor injury. With Seattle eliminated from the playoffs, Brown will finish the season having produced 26 total tackles (21 solo) and a pass defensed over 13 games.
Jan 5, 2025
Hurts knee, won't return in Week 18
Brown injured his knee Sunday against the Rams and has been ruled out from returning, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.
ANALYSIS
Brown was hurt early in the first half and never checked back in. He was ruled out for the remainder of the contest midway through the third period. Brown logged a pair of tackles (one solo) prior to his exit and finishes the campaign with 26 stops and one defensed pass over 13 regular-season games. This was the final season of his rookie contract, so he'll be a free agent upon the conclusion of the campaign.
Dec 20, 2024
Past hamstring issue
Brown (hamstring) has no injury designation ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Vikings, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.
ANALYSIS
Brown has missed the Seahawks' last two games due to a hamstring injury, but it appears he's ready to return in Week 16 following Thursday's limited practice session. The Oklahoma product has recorded 21 total tackles and one pass defended over 10 games this season and is expected to start opposite Riq Woolen in Seattle's secondary Sunday.
Dec 13, 2024
Out again for Week 15
Brown (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Packers, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.
ANALYSIS
Brown will miss a second consecutive game. After starting three of the Seahawks' first six games, Brown hasn't played a defensive snap since Week 6 and has been limited to special teams work.
Dec 8, 2024
Inactive for Week 14
Brown (hamstring) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Cardinals.
ANALYSIS
Brown was a late addition to the Seahawks' injury report Friday as a limited practice participant due to a hamstring injury. The issue is severe enough for Brown to be sidelined Sunday, and puts him in jeopardy of being sidelined for Week 15 against the Packers on Sunday, Dec. 15. With Brown sidelined, Josh Jobe is slated to start at outside corner alongside Riq Woolen.
Dec 7, 2024
Unlikely to play vs. Arizona
Brown (hamstring) is listed as doubtful for Sunday's game against the Cardinals.
ANALYSIS
Brown popped up on Friday's injury report as a limited participant in practice, and it appears he is trending towards being sidelined for Sunday's NFC West showdown due to a hamstring. Should Brown indeed be ruled out, Josh Jobe would likely serve as the Seahawk's second starting corner opposite Riq Woolen.
Oct 27, 2024
Good to go vs. Buffalo
Brown (ankle) is active for Sunday's game against the Bills.
ANALYSIS
Brown missed the Seahawks' Week 7 contest against the Falcons due to an ankle injury he suffered against the 49ers in Week 6. The 2021 fourth-round pick opened the week with consecutive DNPs, but he earned the questionable tag after practicing in a limited capacity Friday and he'll suit up for Sunday's contest. Brown will reclaim his starting corner spot opposite Riq Woolen.
Oct 25, 2024
Trending in right direction
Brown (ankle) practiced Friday and is trending in a positive direction to play Sunday against the Bills, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Brown did not practice Wednesday or Thursday, but participation in Friday's practice is putting him in a optimistically questionable status for Week 8. The 5-foot-10 corner tweaked his ankle against the 49ers in Week 6, forcing him to miss last week's win over the Falcons. His true status should be determined before game time on Sunday, but as of now it looks to be leaning towards active.
Oct 23, 2024
Absent from practice
Brown (ankle) did not participate at Seattle's practice Wednesday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Brown was forced to miss the team's 34-14 win over the Falcons in Week 7 after suffering an ankle injury the week prior against the 49ers. The cornerback will likely have to participate in some capacity at practice before the end of the week in order to play Sunday versus the Bills and he has two more chances to do so.
Oct 18, 2024
Missing Week 7
Brown (ankle) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Falcons, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Brown didn't practice Wednesday or Thursday after sustaining an ankle injury in the Seahawks' Week 6 loss to the 49ers, so it's no surprise he won't suit up in Week 7. Expect Dee Williams and Nehemiah Pritchett to serve as Seattle's top outside corners with both Brown and Riq Woolen (ankle) out Sunday.
Oct 10, 2024
Downgraded to out
Brown (ankle) will not return to Thursday's game against the 49ers, Gregg Bell of The Tacoma News Tribune reports.
ANALYSIS
The cornerback made four solo tackles before exiting. Seattle's other starting outside cornerback, Riq Woolen (ankle), is already inactive. Nehemiah Pritchett is in for Brown, per Bell.
Oct 10, 2024
Questionable to return
Brown (hand) is questionable to return to Thursday's game against the 49ers, Gregg Bell of The Tacoma News Tribune reports.
ANALYSIS
With Brown questionable and Riq Woolen (ankle) already inactive, the Seahawks are down both of their outside cornerbacks. Brown made four tackles before leaving the game. Nehemiah Pritchett is his backup.
Sep 13, 2024
Past quadriceps injury
Brown (quadriceps) has no injury designation ahead of Sunday's matchup with the Patriots, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.
ANALYSIS
Brown began the Seahawks' week of practice with back-to-back limited sessions, but after practicing in full Friday, he appears to have moved past his quadriceps issue. Now that Brown has returned to full health, he's expected to serve as one of Seattle's top outside cornerbacks in Week 2.
Sep 12, 2024
Limited in Thursday's practice
Brown was limited in Thursday's practice session due to a quadriceps injury, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Brown has opened the week with back-to-back limited practice sessions, and his participation Friday should give clarity on his status for Week 2 against the Patriots. The 2021 fourth-round pick played 54 snaps (46 on defense, eight on special teams) and registered three solo tackles and one pass defended in the Seahawks' Week 1 win over the Broncos.
Feb 1, 2024
Makes seven starts in 2023
Brown recorded 34 tackles (29 solo), six pass breakups, two interceptions and a sack across 15 games during the 2023 season.
ANALYSIS
Brown stayed mostly healthy in 2023 and made seven starts, as Brown, Mike Jackson and Artie Burns filled in behind Devon Witherspoon and Riq Woolen. The Seahawks may try to bolster their cornerback room this offseason, but Brown probably showed enough to hang onto a roster spot as he heads into the final year of his contract.
Dec 24, 2023
Able to suit up Week 16
Brown (heel) is active for Sunday's contest against the Titans.
ANALYSIS
Brown began Week 16 prep with a pair of limited practices, but his outlook improved when he was able to log a full practice Friday. He'll thus be able to play Sunday and should have a near every-down role with Devon Witherspoon (hip) inactive for a second straight game. Brown played every defensive snap last week against Philadelphia and tied a season high with six tackles.
Dec 22, 2023
Could play Week 16
Brown (heel) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's game against the Titans, Gregg Bell of The Tacoma News Tribune reports.
ANALYSIS
Brown has been dealing with this heel injury over the last couple of weeks, and after logging a week of limited practice sessions, he's got a shot at suiting up Sunday. If the 26-year-old cornerback is unable to go in Week 16, expect Coby Bryant to see increased snaps in the Seahawks' secondary.
Dec 20, 2023
Limited in walkthrough Wednesday
Brown (heel) was estimated as a limited participant in Wednesday's walkthrough practice session, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.
ANALYSIS
Brown has been dealing with a heel injury for the past two weeks, and the issue caused him to sit out Week 14 versus San Francisco. However, he was able to return Monday in a win over Philadelphia and played every defensive snap for Seattle, finishing with six tackles (four solo). With that context, it seems likely that Brown will be able to play Sunday in Tennessee unless he's suffered a setback.
Dec 15, 2023
Practices in full Friday
Brown (heel) was a full participant in Friday's practice, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Brown missed the Seahawks' Week 14 loss to the 49ers with a heel injury. He was limited in Thursday's practice, but was able to upgrade to full Friday and is trending towards returning Monday against the Eagles.
Dec 10, 2023
Won't play Week 14
Brown (heel) was ruled inactive for Sunday's game versus San Francisco.
ANALYSIS
Brown missed back-to-back practices before participating in a limited fashion Friday, and he'll ultimately be forced to sit out for the first time since the Week 4 contest against the Giants. The third-year cornerback has seen signficant playing time behind starters Devon Witherspoon and Riq Woolen this season, contributing 25 tackles, one sack, and six passes defended, incluing two interceptions. Brown's next opportunity to play will come versus the Eagles on Monday, Dec. 18. Expect Coby Bryant and/or Chris Steele to see increased playing time behind Mike Jackson in Week 14.
Dec 8, 2023
Questionable versus San Fransisco
Brown (heel) was a limited participant in Friday's practice and is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the 49ers, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.
ANALYSIS
Brown missed the first two practices of the week before logging a limited session Friday. He played a season-high 62 defensive snaps in Week 13 against the Cowboys behind starters Riq Woolen and Devon Witherspoon. If Brown is unable to suit up Sunday, Mike Jackson figures to be the likely candidate to step into the slot corner position.
Nov 19, 2023
Active for Week 11
Brown (foot) is officially active to face the Rams on Sunday.
ANALYSIS
Brown entered the weekend with a questionable tag due to a lingering foot issue, though Seattle head coach Pete Carroll indicated Friday that he expected the cornerback to play. That will indeed come to fruition, as Brown isn't on the team's list of inactives ahead of the afternoon matchup versus Los Angeles. Brown was on the field for 79 percent of the team's defensive snaps last week versus Washington and should see a significant role Sunday as well.
Nov 17, 2023
Questionable for Sunday
Brown (foot) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Rams, Sarah Barshop of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Brown's toe injury first popped up last week, but he was able to play and log 79 percent of Seattle's defensive snaps this past Sunday against Washington. The cornerback logged two full practice sessions to begin this week but didn't practice at all Friday. While that might usually be an ominous sign, Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll said Friday that he's expecting Brown, who jammed his foot during Week 11 prep, to play Sunday against the Rams, per Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic. If Brown has to sit out, however, Mike Jackson could see more work.
Nov 9, 2023
Practices in full
Brown (toe) was a full participant in practice Thursday after participating on a limited basis Wednesday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
The backup cornerback's status will be worth monitoring Friday to see if he continues to trend toward playing Sunday against the Commanders. Brown has six passes defensed, two interceptions and two forced fumbles in 2023.
Nov 8, 2023
Managing toe injury
Brown was a limited participant in practice Wednesday due to a toe issue, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Brown logged 52 defensive snaps -- his most since Week 2 -- against Baltimore this past Sunday, but he appears to have come away with a toe injury. While his ability to practice in a limited fashion Wednesday bodes well for his chances of suiting up Sunday versus Washington, the seriousness of the issue should become clearer over the final two days of Week 10 prep. Brown has been a pleasant surprise on Seattle's defense this season, as he's forced two fumbles and picked off two passes -- one of which he returned for a touchdown -- over seven games.
Oct 16, 2023
Snags pick in loss
Brown recorded one tackle (one solo), two pass deflections and an interception in Seattle's 17-13 loss to Cincinnati on Sunday.
ANALYSIS
Brown missed the team's Week 4 win against the Giants with a concussion but was productive in his return to action. The 2021 fourth-round pick logged Seattle's only turnover Sunday and now has a team-high two interceptions on the season.
Oct 11, 2023
Not on injury report
Brown (concussion) was not listed on Seattle's injury report Wednesday, John Boyle of the team's official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Brown missed the team's Week 4 win against the Giants due to a concussion but is now healthy again and should make his return to the field versus the Bengals on Sunday. The 26-year-old will now look to help Seattle's secondary slow down Joe Burrow and the rest of Cincinnati's offense.
Sep 30, 2023
Ruled out Monday
Brown (concussion) has been ruled out for Monday's contest against the Giants, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Brown was placed in the NFL's concussion protocols in Week 3 against the Panthers. He was unable to participate in practice all Week and will miss Monday's game. With Artie Burns (hamstring) also ruled out and Coby Bryant (toe) listed as doubtful, the Seahawks' depth at cornerback behind Devon Witherspoon and Riq Woolen will be thin.
Sep 28, 2023
Remains unavailable for practice
Brown (concussion) did not participate at the Seahawks' practice Thursday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Brown was unavailable for the team's first practice of the week after suffering a concussion in Week 3 versus Carolina. The cornerback has an extra day to prepare prior to Seattle's Week 4 matchup with the Giants on Monday night and he'll look to log at least a limited practice Friday.
Sep 24, 2023
Enters protocols
Brown has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's game against the Panthers due to a concussion, Curtis Crabtree of Fox 13 Seattle reports.
ANALYSIS
Browns' exit will leave the Seahawks secondary depleted with Riq Woolen (chest) and Coby Bryant (toe) inactive. Mike Jackson has stepped up as his replacement, opposite Devon Witherspoon at corner. Brown will now need to pass the league's five-step concussion protocols to gain clearance to play in Week 4 against the Giants.
Sep 18, 2023
Stuffs stat sheet Sunday
Brown returned an interception for a touchdown, forced a fumble and finished with four tackles (all solo), including a sack, in Sunday's Week 2 overtime win over Detroit.
ANALYSIS
Brown forced a fumble that was recovered by Seattle in the second quarter, though the play didn't have much of an effect on the outcome since the clock had already run down on the half. However, Brown's impact in the fourth period was much more profound -- he sacked Jeff Goff in Lions territory on a first down midway through the quarter and intercepted the QB on the next play, returning the pick 40 yards for a touchdown to give the Seahawks a 31-21 lead. Brown has played over 75% of Seattle's defensive snaps in each of the first two weeks.
Sep 9, 2023
Slated to start Week 1
Brown is listed as a starter on the depth chart ahead of Sunday's game versus the Rams, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.
ANALYSIS
While Brown is currently listed ahead of fellow cornerback Mike Jackson, head coach Pete Carroll has said that both cornerbacks will play Sunday. Nevertheless, this is a major accomplishment for Brown to push Jackson -- who played nearly every defensive snap last year -- to No. 2 on the depth chart. Brown will still need to prove himself in the opener to retain a large role. Brown and Jackson are both liable to get pushed out of the rotation once rookie first-round pick Devon Witherspoon (hamstring) gets healthy and comfortable on the NFL field.
Aug 14, 2023
Makes preseason start
Brown started at cornerback in Friday's preseason win over the Vikings, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
We shouldn't read into this too much, as Riq Woolen (knee) and Devon Witherspoon (hamstring) both sat out. Brown made some impressive plays but also mistimed a jump in the second quarter to allow the Vikings' only touchdown. At this time, Brown looks like the odd man out of a starting job once Woolen and Witherspoon are healthy because Mike Jackson also appears ahead of Brown in the pecking order.
Dec 20, 2022
Clears injury report Tuesday
Brown (illness) was not listed on the Seahawks' injury report Tuesday.
ANALYSIS
Brown popped up with an illness last Tuesday and missed back-to-back practices before being ruled inactive against San Francisco on Thursday Night Football. It appears the 25-year-old was able to overcome this ailment to begin Week 16, though he'll likely continue to see limited playing time at cornerback Saturday against Kansas City.
Dec 15, 2022
Won't play Thursday
Brown (illness) is inactive for Thursday's game against the 49ers, John Boyle of the team's official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Brown was unable to log any practice activity in both Tuesday's and Wednesday's sessions due to an illness, and he ultimately won't suit up Thursday night versus San Fransisco. Given he's played a combined 17 defensive snaps across the last three contests, the second-year cornerback's absence shouldn't greatly alter Seattle's defensive game plan.
Dec 13, 2022
Comes down will illness
Brown (illness) did not participate during practice Tuesday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
While the severity of Brown's ailment is still unknown, it comes at a very inopportune time ahead of Thursday's game versus San Francisco. The 25-year-old will now have just one more practice to improve his status, or else he'll likely be in jeopardy of missing his first game since being activated from the PUP list in mid-November. Brown has logged four tackles while playing 17 of his 23 snaps on defense over the past three contests, so his potential absence doesn't figure to make much of an impact Week 15.
Nov 15, 2022
Activated Tuesday
The Seahawks activated Brown (knee) from the reserve/PUP list Tuesday, per the NFL's transaction log.
ANALYSIS
Brown appears to be fully recovered from his season-ending patella tendon injury suffered last November, and he'll now count against Seattle's active roster moving forward in 2022. The 2021 fourth-round pick logged 10 tackles to go along with one pass defended and played 240 defensive snaps over five games last year, and his earliest opportunity to play again will come against the Raiders on Sunday, Nov. 27.
Nov 15, 2022
Expected to be activated
Coach Pete Carroll said Tuesday that Brown (knee) will be activated from the reserve/PUP list before Wednesday's deadline, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.
ANALYSIS
Brown was designated to return from the PUP list Oct. 26, making Wednesday the final day the cornerback can be added to the active roster before he's sidelined for the remainder of the campaign. If he is activated, his first chance to suit up will come in Week 12 against the Raiders.
Nov 10, 2022
Not ready for return
Brown (knee) will not return to the active roster before Sunday's game with the Buccaneers, according to head coach Pete Carroll, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Brown was designated to return from the PUP list Oct. 26, but he's still not quite ready to compete. With the Seahawks being on a bye after Sunday, Brown will work to return in Week 12 against the Raiders.
Oct 26, 2022
Designated to return from PUP list
Seattle designated Brown (knee) to return from the reserve/PUP list Wednesday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Brown began the season on the PUP list due to a knee injury and missed the first seven games of the season. The second-year defensive back will return to practice Wednesday, which will start a 21-day window for him to be added to the active roster. However, if he isn't activated in that timeframe, Brown will revert back to the PUP list for the remainder of the campaign.
Oct 19, 2022
Close to returning
Seattle head coach Pete Carroll said Wednesday that Brown (knee) is "really close" to returning, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Per John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site, Carroll said Brown has been able to sprint and cut, but the coach still estimated the cornerback is a couple weeks away from returning to practice. Brown remains on the reserve/PUP list while recovering from last year's surgery to repair a torn patella tendon.
Sep 28, 2022
Still 2-3 weeks from returning
Coach Pete Carroll said Wednesday that Brown (knee) is still "two or three weeks away" from returning to play, Gregg Bell of The Tacoma News Tribune reports.
ANALYSIS
Brown underwent surgery to repair a torn patella tendon in November of 2021 and began this season on Seattle's reserve/PUP list as a result, but it sounds like he could finally be ready to come back sometime soon. The sophomore fourth-rounder will likely be in line for a significant role in the Seahawks' defensive backfield whenever he becomes available again.
Aug 28, 2022
Shifts to reserve/PUP list
The Seahawks placed Brown (knee) on the reserve/PUP list Sunday, John Boyle of the team's official site reports.
ANALYSIS
With the move, Seattle will open up a spot on the active roster, but Brown will be forced to miss at least the first four games of the regular season. The 2021 fourth-round pick missed the first five games of his rookie season due to a knee injury and only appeared in five games before going back on IR following season-ending surgery.
Aug 23, 2022
Won't be ready for season opener
Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll said Tuesday that Brown (knee) won't be ready for the regular season opener, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Brown remains on the active/PUP list for now, so he can be activated at any time. However, Seattle may elect to move him the reserve/PUP list to open up a roster spot, but if the team makes that move, Brown will be sidelined for a minimum of four games.
Aug 5, 2022
Resumes running Friday
Seahawks coach Pete Carroll said Friday that Brown (knee) has started running again and is "chomping at the bit" to make his return, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Brown underwent surgery in November to address a knee injury that cut short his 2021 rookie season. The cornerback saw significant defensive snaps over five games played last year, recording 10 tackles and one pass defended. When healthy, Brown figures to compete with Sidney Jones, Artie Burnes and Justin Coleman for a prominent role in Seattle's secondary heading into the regular season.
Jul 26, 2022
Goes on PUP list
Brown (knee) was placed on the active/PUP list Tuesday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' website reports.
ANALYSIS
Brown was considered questionable for training camp after undergoing surgery in November. In his rookie season, Brown saw significant snaps in the five games he appeared in, recording 10 tackles and a pass defensed. Once healthy, Brown figures to play a prominent role in the Seahawks' secondary.
Jun 9, 2022
Questionable for training camp
Coach Pete Carroll said Thursday that he is unsure if Brown (knee) will be available for the start of Seattle's upcoming training camp, Curtis Crabtree of Sports Radio 950 KJR Seattle reports.
ANALYSIS
Brown is still recovering from surgery undergone in November and may have to wait a little bit longer before he can return to the field. The 24-year-old cornerback was a solid contributor when healthy in 2021 and was beginning to emerge into a starting role before a patella tendon injury sidelined him for the final seven weeks of his rookie season. Once back to full health, Brown will look to raise his starting stock heading into his second season with Seattle.
Nov 28, 2021
Placed on injured reserve
Brown (knee) was placed on IR on Saturday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Brown will head back to IR after starting the season there with a knee injury. The fourth-round rookie was a consistent contributor in the secondary when he was healthy. He'll finish the season having played five games with 10 tackles (nine solo) and a pass defensed. Now he'll set his sights on being ready for his sophomore campaign in 2022.
Nov 23, 2021
Undergoes successful surgery
Brown (knee) has undergone season-ending surgery, Brady Henderson of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Brown suffered the injury in Sunday's loss to the Cardinals. The fourth-round rookie had come on as a significant contributor in the Seahawks' secondary over the previous four weeks. In his absence, Sidney Jones will look step back into a larger role.
Nov 22, 2021
Likely to receive season-ending surgery
Coach Pete Carroll says that Brown (knee) will likely undergo season-ending surgery to repair a patella tendon injury suffered in Sunday's loss to the Cardinals, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.
ANALYSIS
Brown has come on as a key contributor to Seattle's struggling secondary this season, playing over 50 percent of the team's defensive snaps over the previous four games prior to Sunday. The rookie accounted for 10 tackles and one pass deflection in five appearances this season before the first half injury against Arizona. The loss of Brown would likely push cornerback Sidney Jones back into a larger role in Seattle's secondary.
Nov 22, 2021
Likely headed for surgery
Brown (knee) will likely require surgery according to head coach Pete Carroll, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.
ANALYSIS
Brown suffered a patella tendon injury in a loss Sunday to the Cardinals. If he does need surgery, he'll be out for the rest of the season. However, Carroll notes that Brown is still seeking opinions. The fourth-round rookie spent the first several weeks of the season on IR with knee soreness, but it's unknown if this current injury is related.
Nov 21, 2021
Suffers patella tendon injury
Coach Pete Carroll revealed Sunday that Brown (knee) sustained a patella tendon injury during the team's loss to the Cardinals, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Brown exited Sunday's game in the first half and was unable to return to the field. He recorded a solo tackle prior to his departure, but it's not yet clear when he'll be able to return to the field.
Nov 21, 2021
Questionable to return
Brown (knee) is questionable to return Sunday against the Cardinals, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Brown exited in the first half Sunday. He missed time earlier this season with a knee injury, but returned several weeks ago and it's unknown if this is related. Brown will try to return in the second half, but in the mean time Bless Austin and John Reid are likely to see increased opportunity.
Oct 16, 2021
Officially activated

Looks on track for Week 6
Brown (knee) is expected to suit up for Sunday's matchup against the Steelers, Liz Mathews of USA Today reports.
ANALYSIS
Brown was designated to return from IR back on Oct. 5, but the Seahawks haven't yet brought him back to the active roster. However, the release of Tre Flowers seems to imply that such a transaction is imminent. That means the rookie fourth-round pick's career debut could well come this weekend in Pittsburgh.

Brown now has a 21-day window to resume practicing, while the Seahawks evaluate him for a return to the active roster. The rookie fourth-round pick's NFL debut could come as soon as Thursday's game against the Rams, if the team already believes he's healthy enough to play.
