The Jaguars released Brown on Wednesday. Brown appeared in all 17 games for the Jaguars last year and recorded a career-high 57 tackles and two sacks across 653 defensive snaps. The eighth-year pro has been a productive defensive tackle with New England, New Orleans and Jacksonville, and will likely garner plenty of interest as a free agent.

Brown (illness) was activated off reserve/COVID-19 list Saturday, John Shipley of SI.com reports. Brown tested positive for the virus Monday, but he was able to clear the NFL's COVID-19 protocols in time to be active for Week 17. The 27-year-old defensive tackle has totaled 54 tackles and one sack across 15 appearances during his first season with the Jaguars.

The Saints traded Brown to the Jaguars on Tuesday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports. The Saints planned to cut Brown if they couldn't find a trade partner, so this works out well for both parties. The Jaguars are upgrading their defensive front, as they also signed veteran DT Tyson Alualu on Tuesday. Brown, a first-round pick in 2015, struggled to stand out on the Saints' crowded defensive line, and he recorded 27 tackles and a sack across 13 games last season. He'll compete with Alualu and Taven Bryan for playing time.

Brown (calf) is questionable for Friday's game versus the Vikings. Brown has missed the last two games, but he practiced in a limited fashion all week, providing a decent chance that he can return this week. The sixth-year defensive tackle typically plays around half of the defensive snaps despite not starting a game this season.

Brown (shoulder) has been ruled out for Sunday's game versus the Chiefs. Brown made no discernable progress in his recovery, as he failed to take the field all week. Shy Tuttle and Malcolm Roach should both see upticks in usage behind Sheldon Rankins and David Onyemata on Sunday.
