Productive in win
Brown tallied seven tackles (three solo) in San Francisco's win over the Cardinals on Sunday.
Analysis: Brown finished tied for third on the team in tackles in the victory. The 25-year-old has been on a hot streak over the past two weeks, recording a combined 17 tackles (six solo). He'll look to carry this level of production into the Week 12 matchup versus the Panthers.

Makes preseason debut vs. Raiders
Brown (ankle) logged four tackles (three solo) during the 49ers' 22-19 preseason win over the Raiders on Saturday.
Analysis: An ankle injury prevented Brown from playing in the Niners' preseason opener against the Broncos, but he was cleared to make his preseason debut Saturday and logged 33 snaps (30 on defense, three on special teams). The 2023 third-rounder saw an increased role in the 49ers' defense during his sophomore campaign, finishing with 77 tackles (48 solo) and six pass defenses (one interception) across 17 regular-season games. Brown is slated to start at safety, but with Malik Mustapha (knee) still on…read more

Sits out of practice Monday
Brown (ankle) did not participate in practice Monday, Jennifer Lee Chan of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
Analysis: The safety appears to be dealing with the same issue that kept him out of minicamp in June, as he has now missed two sessions during training camp as well, per Matt Barrows of The Athletic. Brown has participated in most training camp practices, though, so the injury does not appear to be serious. The 2023 third-round pick stepped into a starting role last year, recording 77 tackles (48 solo) and six pass breakups.

Recovered from ankle injury
Brown (ankle) has participated in practices during the 49ers' first week of training camp, Jerry McDonald of The Mercury News reports.
Analysis: Brown was held out of minicamp in June due to an ankle injury, but he has recovered enough to be given the green light to participate in training camp practices. The 2023 third-rounder saw a bigger role on the 49ers' defense during his sophomore campaign and finished with 77 tackles (48 solo) and six pass defenses (one interception) across 17 regular-season games. Brown is expected to start at safety alongside Malik Mustapha (knee) in 2025.

Not participating in minicamp
Brown (ankle) isn't participating in San Francisco's minicamp, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
Analysis: Brown continues to deal with an ankle injury that he picked up earlier in the offseason. The 25-year-old is expected to be healthy in time for training camp and should serve as one of the team's starting safeties once the regular season begins.

Dealing with ankle issue
Brown will be out until training camp after undergoing a procedure on his ankle, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.
Analysis: It's a bit of a hiccup for the safety who enjoyed a strong sophomore campaign in 2024, recording 77 tackles (48 solo), including three for a loss, and six pass breakups, including an interception. As long as Brown really does return for training camp, though, he should be in line to start again in 2025.

Solid sophomore season
Brown finished the regular season with 77 tackles (48 solo) and one interception across 17 starts for San Francisco.
Analysis: Brown built off of his solid rookie campaign in 2023 by serving as the team's starting free safety as a sophomore. The converted corner didn't provide any eye-opening stats from an IDP perspective, but he played his role well for a defense that struggled as a whole in 2024. Brown figures to start at free safety again for the 49ers next season barring a big-name addition in free agency.

Will suit up in season finale
Brown (ankle) is active for Sunday's matchup against the Cardinals, Lindsey Pallares of the 49ers' official site reports.
Analysis: Brown had been questionable entering the weekend due to a lingering ankle issue, but he'll be available for San Francisco's final game of the campaign. The second-year safety logged only 25 percent of San Francisco's defensive snaps last Monday against Detroit, so he may not see a full workload again versus Arizona. Talanoa Hufanga and Malik Mustapha have gotten the most snaps at safety for the 49ers over the past two weeks while Brown has been dealing with the ankle issue.

Questionable for Week 18
Brown (ankle) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Cardinals, Bo Brack of GoPHNX.com reports.
Analysis: Brown appeared to be trending toward not playing in Sunday's divisional contest after downgrading to no participation at Thursday's practice. However, the second-year safety then logged another limited session Friday, giving himself a chance to suit up in Week 18. If Brown is able to play through his ankle issue, he's expected to start alongside Talanoa Hufanga as part of San Francisco's top safety duo.

Downgrades to DNP on Thursday
Brown (ankle) was a non-participant in Thursday's practice, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Brown was limited in Wednesday's session, so this is a downgrade for San Francisco's safety headed into Sunday's Week 18 finale against the Cardinals. The Niners have a laundry list of injuries on the defensive side of the ball and could be playing a number of backups in a game that has little meaning for either club.

Limited to open week
Brown (ankle) was a limited participant at the 49ers' practice Wednesday.
Analysis: Brown was able to play through the ankle injury in the team's 40-34 loss to the Lions in Week 17, recording two tackles (one solo). His ability to practice in a limited fashion Wednesday is a good sign for his availability for Sunday's regular-season finale against the Cardinals.

Good to go against Detroit
Brown (ankle) is active for Monday night's game against the Lions, Lindsey Pallares of the 49ers' official site reports.
Analysis: Brown suffered an ankle injury in Week 16 against the Dolphins, but he has been cleared to play Monday after being limited in practice all week. The 2023 third-round pick has logged 70 tackles (45 solo) and five pass defenses (including one interception) across 15 regular-season games.

Questionable for Week 17
Brown (ankle) is listed as questionable for Monday night's game against the Lions, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.
Analysis: Brown suffered an ankle injury during the 49ers' Week 16 loss to the Dolphins. The injury limited him in practice all week, and he is in danger of missing his first game of the regular season. Should Brown be inactive for MNF, Malik Mustapha would likely serve as the 49ers' starting free safety alongside strong safety Talanoa Hufanga.

Opens week with limited practice
Brown (ankle) logged a limited practice session Thursday.
Analysis: Brown hurt his ankle in Sunday's loss to Miami, and he was able to play only four defensive snaps in that contest. His ability to log a limited practice Thursday suggests the second-year safety could be available Monday against Detroit, though his practice participation level Friday and Saturday certainly bears monitoring. If Brown can't suit up against the Lions, Talanoa Hufanga and Malik Mustapha would likely serve as San Francisco's starting safeties, with Tashaun Gipson working in a…read more

Dealing with ankle injury
Brown (ankle) is day-to-day with an ankle injury ahead of Monday's matchup with the Lions, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Brown picked up an ankle injury in Sunday's loss to the Dolphins, recording one solo tackle while playing four defensive snaps and 15 snaps on special teams. With San Francisco eliminated from postseason contention, the team will likely be cautious with their impressive second-year safety before Week 17. Brown's status will be worth monitoring when the 49ers host their first official practice of the week Thursday.

Past groin injury
Brown (groin) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice.
Analysis: Brown injured his groin during the 49ers' 12-6 loss to the Rams this past Thursday and finished with six tackles (four solo). It doesn't appear to be a lingering issue as he was able to practice without limitations Wednesday. Barring any setbacks, Brown should be good to go against the Dolphins on Sunday.

Solid day despite getting hurt
Brown (groin) recorded six tackles (four solo) during Thursday's 12-6 loss versus the Rams.
Analysis: Brown picked up a groin issue in Week 15, but along the way, he also racked up six-plus tackles for the fourth time this season. If he's at full strength, he should start at safety next to Talanoa Hufanga in Week 16 at Miami.

Viewed as day-to-day
Brown (groin) is considered day-to-day after being injured in Thursday night's loss to the Rams, Lindsey Pallares of the 49ers' official site reports.
Analysis: Brown gets an extended break ahead of the 49ers' Week 16 game against the Dolphins, so his practice participation level will be monitored next week. Tashaun Gipson replaced Brown against Los Angeles and would be in line for an increased role if Brown is unable to play next week.

Brown (groin) is questionable to return to Thursday's game against the Rams, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.
Analysis: The safety made five tackles (three solo) before exiting. Brown has 68 tackles (43 solo) and five pass breakups, including an interception, on the year. Tashaun Gipson is in for him, per Inman.

Leads Niners in tackles Sunday
Brown recorded eight tackles (five solo) during Sunday's 35-10 loss at Buffalo.
Analysis: In what was a dismal day for San Francisco as a whole, Brown at least tied his season-high tackle total. He figures to remain in an every-down role next to rookie fourth-rounder Malik Mustapha at least until Talanoa Hufanga (wrist) is available to play again.

Records eight stops on TNF
Brown posted eight tackles (six solo), including one for loss, in a 36-24 Week 6 win over Seattle on Thursday.
Analysis: Brown tied for second on the team in tackles behind linebacker Fred Warner (11). The free safety's eight stops also tied his season-high mark. Brown has logged every one of the 49ers' defensive snaps in five of the team's six contests so far this year.

Set to play
Brown (ankle) will play Thursday against the Seahawks.
Analysis: Brown left Sunday's loss to the Cardinals early with the injury, then logged back-to-back limited practice sessions to start the week. However, after being listed as a full participant Wednesday, the 24-year-old has the all-clear to suit up for Thursday's divisional matchup.

Limited Monday
Brown (ankle) was a limited participant on Monday's practice estimate, Josh Dubow of The Associated Press reports.
Analysis: Brown injured his ankle in Sunday's game versus the Cardinals. His status will need to be monitored as the week progresses. If he is ultimately unable to suit up Thursday in Seattle, Malik Mustapha would likely be next man up at free safety.

Exits with injury
Brown (ankle) has left Sunday's game against the Cardinals, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Brown's departure will leave the 49ers down both of their starting safeties going into halftime, as Talanoa Hufanga (wrist) has already been ruled out for the remainder of the game. Brown will try to return in the second half, however, if he is unable to, Malik Mustapha will likely handle snaps at free safety.

Leads Niners with eight tackles
Brown tallied eight tackles (five solo) and one pass defended during Sunday's 30-13 win over the Patriots.
Analysis: Brown was the leading tackler for the 49ers on Sunday, and his eight tackles were the most in a regular-season game of his young career. The 2023 third-round pick emerged as a starter in his rookie season, and he's played every single defensive snap through the first four regular-season games of 2024. Brown is up to 20 tackles (13 solo) and three passes defended on the year.
