5, 4, 3, 2, 1, Brown is hurt again....

5, 4, 3, 2, 1, Brown is hurt again....

Exactly what I was thinking!

[BRAVEONTHEWARPATH93]

5, 4, 3, 2, 1, Brown is hurt again....

yeah I heard he tripped on his way out of the doc's office and sprained his MCL lol

[spjunkies]

5, 4, 3, 2, 1, Brown is hurt again....

I seriously thought the guy was on the injured list for the entire season.

[MartinC]

I hope there are more moves to come - this team needs shaking up.

[S.T.real,lights,out]

I seriously thought the guy was on the injured list for the entire season.

I think he would have been...maybe with the new IR rule he can come back??

Don't be silly... he got a concussion while stretching in between a Meriweather/Robinson collision in pre-game warmups!

But in all seriousness... I wonder if he will really even be an upgrade with this much time off from injury. Probably best to use him in rotation for down and distance I would think. Welcome back Sundberg!!!

I would think if somewhat healthy he would be better than T. Polum.....hopefully he's 80-90% and can give us something...

Fingers crossed Brown's actually ready to play in two weeks. Having someone who isn't a turnstile would be a welcome change at RT.

Brown was on PUP. Sundberg was the special IR rule player.

I never thought he was ever that good for us.

Anyone know how he's been ranked among other right tackles since he has been here?

[SkinsCrushCowboys]

He looks like a guy that probably crushed a bunch of salads, hour of cardio a day, some light stretching, avoided fatty foods the last year....should be good to go.

[acuratl1984]

Don't they still need to cut one more? With Brown the roster would be at 54 no?

[Main-Maine]

So anything good about D.J. Johnson? I just hope he's an upgrade.
