  • Ready for Sunday

    Brown (knee) has no injury designation ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Falcons.

    Analysis: The 25-year-old defensive lineman popped up on the Panthers' injury report Thursday as a non-participant in practice due to a knee issue. However, he practiced in full Friday, suggesting he's ready to face the Falcons on Sunday. Brown has tallied six total tackles over his first two games with Carolina, and he's expected to play as the team's top nose tackle in Week 3.

  • Passes physical

    Brown (hamstring) was activated off the active/non-football injury list Monday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

    Analysis: Brown is ready to practice again after being sidelined with a hamstring injury last week. The 24-year-old had a career year with the Rams last season, playing 455 defensive snaps and registering 44 tackles and one defensed pass across 17 regular-season games.

  • Beginning camp on active/NFI list

    The Panthers placed Brown (hamstring) on the active/non-football injury list Tuesday, Darin Gantt of the team's official site reports.

    Analysis: Brown is dealing with a hamstring injury, per Joe Person of The Athletic, but isn't expected to miss much time. He can be activated and begin practicing as soon as he's medically cleared.

  • Coming to Carolina

    Brown signed with the Panthers on Monday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: The 2021 fourth-round pick from Texas A&M will join the Panthers after spending the first four years of his career with the Rams. Brown had a career year in 2024, recording 44 total tackles and one pass defended across 17 regular-season appearances (16 starts). He's the third free-agent defender the Panthers have added Monday, joining safety Tre'von Moehrig and defensive end Pat Jones. Brown will look to fortify a Carolina defensive line that allowed the most yards per carry (5.2) in the NFL in…read more

  • Solid year heading into free agency

    Brown recorded 44 tackles and one pass defended across 17 games with the Rams in 2024.

    Analysis: Brown played out the final year of his rookie contract and has progressively seen his role expand each year as a pro. In 2024, he stayed fully healthy for the first time while recording a career-high in snaps (455) and tackles. Brown is a traditional run-stuffing lineman who doesn't offer much as a pass rusher, but he still should be a relatively popular option for teams looking to fortify their defensive line this offseason.

  • Good to go for divisional round

    Brown (shoulder) is active for Sunday's NFC divisional-round game against the Eagles, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Brown was deemed questionable to play after sitting out practice all week with a shoulder injury which he sustained during Monday's wild-card win against Minnesota. The 324-pounder has played a significant role on the interior of the Rams' defensive front this year, tallying a career-high 44 tackles over 17 regular-season games. Brown should once again start between defensive ends Braden Fiske and Kobie Turner.

  • Deemed questionable for Sunday

    Brown (shoulder) is questionable to suit up Sunday in the NFC divisional round against Philadelphia, but he's expected to play, Sarah Barshop of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Brown injured his shoulder in Monday's wild-card win over Minnesota and didn't practice at all this week. However, Rams head coach Sean McVay said Friday that he expects the fourth-year nose tackle to play against the Eagles. If Brown is unable to suit up, though, Neville Gallimore would likely be asked to log more than his usual allotment of defensive snaps.

  • Doesn't practice Thursday

    Brown (shoulder) was listed as a DNP on Thursday's injury report, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.

    Analysis: Brown has opened the week with back-to-back DNPs due to a shoulder injury that he suffered in Monday's wild-card game against the Vikings. Despite the lack of practice, head coach Sean McVay told reporters after Thursday's session that he expects Brown to play in Sunday's NFC divisional-round game against the Eagles, per Adam Grosbard of The Orange County Register.

  • Estimated as DNP

    Brown (shoulder) was listed as a DNP for Wednesday's walkthrough, Stu Jackson of the Rams' official site reports.

    Analysis: Brown played just 13 defensive snaps and finished with one tackle during the Rams' NFC wild-card win over the Vikings on Monday due to a shoulder injury he suffered in the first half. The Rams will hold their first official practice Thursday, and his participation in that session will provide some clarity on his chances of playing in Sunday's NFC divisional-round clash against the Eagles.

  • Exits Monday with shoulder injury

    Brown is questionable to return to Monday's wild-card game against the Vikings due to a shoulder issue, Sarah Barshop of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Brown departed in the first half, and it's uncertain if he'll be able to return. He had recorded one tackle prior to his exit. Neville Gallimore will likely take on more defensive snaps for as long as Brown remains sidelined.

  • Cleared to play

    Brown (ankle) is active Sunday against the 49ers.

    Analysis: Brown will avoid missing the Week 3 matchup, despite being a dreaded late addition to the injury report. The Texas A&M product should continue to be the main man for the Rams at nose tackle.

  • Questionable for Week 3

    Brown (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the 49ers, Gary Klein of the Los Angeles Times reports.

    Analysis: Brown was a Thursday addition to the injury report, which is rarely a good sign for a player's availability Sunday. If Brown can't play against San Francisco, Desjuan Johnson and Neville Gallimore will be called upon to play more behind Kobie Turner and Braden Fiske up front on the Rams' defensive line.

  • Earns backup role

    Brown recorded 31 tackles (16 solo) and 0.5 sacks during the 2023 regular season over 13 games played.

    Analysis: Operating as the primary backup behind talented rookie Kobie Turner, Brown easily eclipsed his nine career tackles prior to 2023 while logging 298 snaps on defense. Brown did suffer an MCL sprain that cost him four games, but otherwise he had a respectable year as a reserve, and with one year left on his rookie deal, the Texas A&M product will likely remain in a depth role barring an injury to Turner.

  • Good to go Sunday

    Brown (illness) is active for Sunday's wild-card game against the Lions, Stu Jackson of the Rams' official site reports.

    Analysis: Brown was a late addition to the Lions' injury report Friday after coming down with an illness, but he appears to be healthy enough to play Sunday. He finished the regular season with 31 tackles (16 solo), including 0.5 sacks, over 13 games.

  • Could miss wild card with illness

    Brown (illness) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's game against the Lions, Adam Grosbard of The Orange County Register reports.

    Analysis: Brown is in jeopardy of missing Sunday's affair after he was a late addition to Los Angeles' injury report, as the 23-year-old popped up as a non-participant in Friday's practice due to an illness. If Brown is unable to suit up for the Rams' wild-card affair, expect Kobie Turner to see more work on the team's defensive line.

  • Logs full practice Wednesday

    Brown (knee) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.

    Analysis: Brown hurt his knee in Sunday's Week 17 win over the Giants and had to exit the contest early. However, his ability to practice in full to begin Week 18 prep suggests that the injury isn't a serious concern. As such, Brown is likely to be able to suit up in Sunday's regular-season finale versus San Francisco.

  • Done for Week 17

    Brown (knee) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's game against the Giants.

    Analysis: Brown's continued absence from the contest will leave the Rams light on depth across the defensive line and Kobie Turner as the only healthy nose tackle.

  • Suffers injury Sunday

    Brown has exited Sunday's game against the Giants with a knee injury.

    Analysis: Brown dealt with a knee injury earlier this season, but it's not clear if this is related. The Texas A&M product's absence will leave the Rams light on depth in the interior of their defensive line, potentially leading to excess snaps for Kobie Turner.

  • Active for Week 11

    Brown (knee) is active Sunday versus Seattle, Greg Beacham of the Associated Press reports.

    Analysis: Brown will make his return to the field after being activated from injured reserve Saturday following an MCL sprain in his knee in Week 5. The 23-year-old will be back in his role as the primary backup option behind Kobie Turner at nose tackle.

  • Comes off IR

    The Rams activated Brown (knee) from injured reserve Saturday.

    Analysis: Brown hurt his knee Week 5 against Philadelphia and was diagnosed with an MCL sprain. He was designated to return from IR this past Monday and logged a trio of full practices during Week 11 prep. Prior to getting hurt, Brown had been logging around half of Los Angeles' defensive snaps and had compiled 13 tackles (six solo) over five contests.

  • Gets okay to practice

    The Rams designated Brown (knee) to return from their injured reserve list Monday.

    Analysis: Brown sustained a sprained MCL just over five weeks ago, so it's relatively impressive that he has a chance to return to practice Wednesday. The Rams will have 21 days to officially activate Brown before they'd have to shut him down for the rest of the campaign.

  • Goes to IR

    The Rams placed Brown (knee) on their injured reserve list Tuesday.

    Analysis: Brown sustained a sprained MCL during Sunday's loss versus Philadelphia, and he'll now be forced to miss at least the Rams' next four games as he recovers. He'll first be eligible to return Nov. 19 versus Seattle, though the rehab process for his knee may take longer than that. In the meantime, Larrell Murchison could see an uptick in snaps.

  • Out 5-to-7 weeks with MCL sprain

    Brown has a Grade 3 MCL sprain and will miss 5-to-7 weeks, Greg Beacham of the Associated Press reports.

    Analysis: Brown was hurt twice in Sunday's loss to the Eagles. He first injured his elbow and was able to return to the contest, but he then went down with a knee injury with less than two minutes remaining and had to be carted off the field. He's subsequently been diagnosed with a Grade 3 MCL sprain and is slated to miss over a month, though head coach Sean McVay said Monday that Brown should be able to return this season. The third-year nose tackle tallied 13 tackles (six solo) over Los Angeles' first…read more

  • Sheds injury designation

    Brown (ankle) was a full participant in practice Wednesday, Gilbert Manzano of The Orange County Register reports.

    Analysis: Brown had been dealing with an ankle injury suffered in the Rams' second preseason game, but he now appears be fully recovered. The second-year pro played a limited role last season, and it's unclear if he'll serve in any capacity beyond emergency depth at defensive tackle for the team this season. He should make his 2022 debut Sunday against the 49ers.

  • Suspension lifted

    Brown (ankle) finished serving his six-game suspension for violating the league's PED policy, per the NFL's transaction log.

    Analysis: Brown will now be eligible to make his 2022 debut, presuming he's recovered from an ankle injury suffered during the Rams' second preseason game in August. The 2021 fourth-round pick recorded one tackle over 10 games last season, and he'll compete with Jonah Williams for the Rams' backup nose tackle job behind Greg Gaines.

  • Injures ankle

    Brown suffered a lateral ankle sprain during Saturday's 29-22 win against the Chargers, with coach Sean McVay telling reporters that "it's not anything that we anticipate requiring surgery."

    Analysis: Brown was already suspended for the first six games of the regular season due to violating the NFL Policy on performance-enhancing substances, but the team was hoping to get him some playing time prior to the start of the season. The injury will almost certainly cost Brown the remainder of the preseason, and Elijah Garcia will likely get more reps as the backup to Greg Gaines at nose tackle.

  • Hit with suspension

    Brown was suspended without pay Monday for the first six games of the regular season due to violating the NFL Policy on performance-enhancing substances, Sarah Barshop of ESPN.com reports

    Analysis: Brown suited up 10 times in his rookie season, but he only recorded one tackle. Heading into his sophomore campaign, Brown was expected to be second in line to starter Greg Gaines at nose tackle, but he will now fall behind Elijah Garcia, or potentially someone else, when the season begins.
