Player News
The Cardinals waived Brown on Wednesday, Scott Bordow of The Athletic reports.
Brown will now seek his third team of the year, as he played six games with the Eagles before being cut and signing with the Cardinals, where he was a healthy scratch in every contest. The 2012 second-round pick nearly recorded his third consecutive 100-tackle campaign when he posted 96 stops for the Redskins last year, so he could play a role wherever he lands.
The Cardinals signed Brown to a contract on Friday, Darren Urban of the team's official site reports.
Brown was released by the Eagles on Oct. 14, and he now joins Arizona's active roster following the decision to cut Alfred Morris. The veteran linebacker appeared in six games with Philadelphia this season, recording 31 tackles (17 solo) and two defended passes. He stands to bolster the Cardinals' inside linebacker corps.
Brown was released by the Eagles on Monday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
The timing of this move is interesting, as Brown made headlines speaking negatively about Vikings' quarterback Kirk Cousins prior to Sunday's loss. The veteran linebacker is expected to receive interest from from other teams around the league. He has accumulated 17 tackles (three solo) and two passes-defended in six games this season.
Brown notched seven tackles (five solo) in Sunday's 27-24 loss to the Lions. He also defensed a pass.
Brown has logged back-to-back games of five solo and two assisted tackles after opening the season with just two. He played 53 of the Eagles' 64 defensive snaps in this one, second only to Nigel Bradham's 63 among linebackers. The 29-year-old should continue to see a solid number of opportunities Thursday in a Week 4 road tilt with Green Bay.
