Brown never found a real role in Philadelphia. He signed a one-year deal in the offseason after catching 49 passes for 587 yards and five touchdowns for the Chiefs in 2025, but he appeared in only four games for the Eagles and finished with five catches for 63 yards and no touchdowns on eight targets, plus two carries for 12 yards. His snaps picked up only when injuries hit, as he played more in the Week 7 loss to Dallas and the Week 8 loss in Washington with DeVonta Smith and Dontayvion Wicks sidelined. He had one catch for 16 yards in Sunday's 19-11 loss to the Giants.
Philadelphia is riding a seven-game losing streak and spent deadline week sending Jordan Davis to Jacksonville for a 2027 first-round pick and a 2029 second, while Nick Sirianni hasn't ruled out staff changes. Brown had been working behind Smith, Wicks and first-round rookie Makai Lemon, who led the receiver group while the two starters were out.
Brown, a 2019 first-round pick of the Ravens who topped 1,000 yards in 2021, is expected to draw interest from playoff contenders looking for receiver depth for the stretch run.
The Eagles return from the bye to host the Steelers on Nov. 22 at 10 a.m. PT.
