Brown was waived by Las Vegas on Tuesday, per the team's official site.
Brown spent all of last season on IR but was healthy during training camp this year and logged seven carries for 25 yards during the exhibition slate, adding three catches on six targets for 43 yards. The UCLA product was selected by the Raiders in the seventh round of the 2022 NFL Draft and played in six regular-season games as a rookie, with all 61 of his snaps coming on special teams.

Raiders' Brittain Brown: Scooped by Las Vegas
Rotowire
The Raiders selected Brown in the seventh round of the 2022 NFL Draft, 250th overall.
Brown becomes the second running back selected by the Raiders less than 24 hours after declining Josh Jacobs' fifth-year option, joining Zamir White. After starting out at Duke, Brown transferred to UCLA, where he appeared in 17 games over two seasons. He was largely overtaken by Zach Charbonnet in 2021 but Brown still produced 615 yards and seven touchdowns at a 6.0 YPC clip. Brown wasn't heavily used as a pass catcher but was efficient when targeted, snaring 18 of 19 targets for 129 yards in 2021. He ran a 4.66 in the 40-yard dash at his pro day, so athleticism is below baseline for an NFL running back and it will be an uphill battle for him to crack the roster despite being drafted.
