Signs with Chicago's active roster
The Bears signed Brown from their practice squad to their 53-man roster Saturday.
Analysis: Brown has played one game this season, tallying five carries for 37 yards and a touchdown in Week 9 versus Cincinnati as a practice-squad elevation. He's now getting a chance on the active roster as a replacement for Roschon Johnson (thumb), who was placed on injured reserve Saturday. Johnson had been seeing almost all of his work on special teams before the injury, and that may be Brown's role as well since both D'Andre Swift and Kyle Monangai are healthy and have been logging nearly all of…read more

Reverts to practice squad
The Bears reverted Brown to their practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.
Analysis: Brown got his first elevation of the season for this past Sunday's win over Cincinnati and finished with five carries for 37 yards and his first career NFL touchdown while logging 14 of 80 offensive snaps. He also returned one kick for 23 yards. His opportunity came as a result of both D'Andre Swift (groin) and Roschon Johnson (back) being unable to suit up for the contest. If both of those players are inactive in Week 10 against the Giants, Brown will likely be elevated again.

Expect Brown to play a depth role in Chicago's backfield while also contributing on special teams in the Week 9 matchup against the Bengals.

Hits waivers Tuesday
The Bears waived Brown on Tuesday.
Analysis: Brown spent roughly the last two weeks with Chicago, providing the team depth during the preseason and training camp, but he never seemed to have a real shot at making the 53-man roster. The last time Brown suited up for regular-season action was as a rookie with the Raiders in 2022, when he appeared in six games and handled 61 total snaps on special teams.

Headed to Windy City
The Bears signed Brown to a contract Monday.
Analysis: The move corresponds with Chicago waiving Ameer Speed (undisclosed) with an injury designation. Brown spent most of the 2024 season on the Seahawks' practice squad and hasn't seen regular-season action since 2022 with the Raiders, when he played 61 snaps on special teams across six games. He'll have an opportunity to see snaps out of the backfield during practices and preseason games due to injuries to Roschon Johnson (foot), Travis Homer (calf) and Deion Hankins (concussion).

Sidelined Sunday
Brown (coach's decision) was ruled inactive ahead of Sunday's game against the Chargers.
Analysis: It's unclear why Brown was listed inactive by Las Vegas' coaching staff as he was not dealing with any known injuries during practice this week. Nevertheless, the rookie seventh-round pick was not expected to play a significant role against the Chargers given the Raiders' loaded group of running backs, including Josh Jacobs, Zamir White, Brandon Bolden and Ameer Abdullah.
