Jamon Brown

Brown had one horrible game last week against the Ravens, and that was all the Eagles needed to see. Taking his roster spot it TE Jason Croom, who was promoted from the practice squad in a corresponding move.

The 2019 Falcons bust had been cooling his heels on the Bears' practice squad. The Eagles are casting a wide net in their search for depth for their epically injured offensive line. 

The move comes after Brown cleared the concussion protocol. Rookie Matt Hennessy was apparently going to beat Brown out for starting duties. Signed to a "three-year deal" last March, Brown made nine ineffective 2019 starts. He is still due $4.75 million following his release, so the move is not purely financial. Headed into his age-27 campaign, Brown has 47 games of starting experience. He should be a regular on the workout circuit. 

The 26-year-old offensive guard did not carry an injury designation heading into Atlanta's Week 16 matchup against Jacksonville, but Wes Schweitzer and Chris Lindstrom each fielded 100 percent of the team's offensive snaps during a 24-12 win over the Jaguars. Now officially ruled out for the season finale, Brown will wrap up the 2019 campaign without fielding a single snap over the Falcons' final four games of the year.
