The Cincinnati Bengals are planning to sign New England Patriots free-agent offensive tackle Trent Brown to an undisclosed one-year deal after visiting with him on Tuesday, according to a source. Brown, who spent the last three seasons in New England, will help the Bengals replace Jonah Williams after he signed in free agency with the Arizona Cardinals. The 30-year-old Brown will be expected to start at tackle across from Orlando Brown as he now protects quarterback Joe Burrow. The 6-foot-8, 370-pounder was originally a seventh-round selection by the San Francisco 49ers in 2015 out of Florida. Brown spent the first three seasons of his NFL career in the Bay Area before playing for the Patriots in 2018 and then the Raiders in 2019-20. He has started 93 of the 100 games he's appeared in over his nine-year career.
Free-agent offensive tackle Trent Brown is scheduled to meet with the Cincinnati Bengals on Tuesday. The Bengals lost tackle Jonah Williams in free agency to the Arizona Cardinals and are looking for a replacement, with Brown being a potential fit. The 30-year-old's contract with the New England Patriots voided in February when he was not able to reach an extension with the organization after playing the last three seasons with them. The former seventh-round selection by the San Francisco 49ers in 2015 has started 93 of the 100 career games he's appeared in over his nine NFL seasons. He was a Pro Bowler for the first time in 2019 with the Las Vegas Raiders. In his three seasons with the Pats, Brown started 33 of the 37 games he appeared in.
The New England Patriots and offensive tackle Trent Brown agreed to a revised, improved contract on Tuesday with the team adding $2 million worth of incentives to his deal in 2023, making his deal worth up to $13 million total. Brown will still hit free agency at the end of the season. The 30-year-old started on quarterback Mac Jones' blind side at left tackle in the Week 1 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles, but he suffered a concussion in that contest and was forced to miss Sunday night's loss to the division-rival Miami Dolphins. He'll have to clear the league's concussion protocol this week in order to get the green light to play this Sunday in Week 3 against the New York Jets as the Patriots look to get their first win of 2023.
New England Patriots offensive tackle Trent Brown, who is coming off a disappointing 2022, skipped organized team activities, missed the start of mandatory minicamp and was relegated to a side field for conditioning. He didn't take a single rep with the offense during spring practices, which isn't the spring you would have liked to see from a player coming off a bad season the year prior. Brown could show up motivated during training camp this summer, but this could also be a problem for the Patriots at left tackle again in 2023.
The New England Patriots added offensive tackle Trent Brown (illness) to the Week 13 injury report and he's now questionable to play on Thursday night against the Buffalo Bills due to an illness. The Patriots will decide Brown's status 90 minutes before kickoff on Thursday night. If he's not feeling well enough to suit up, either Yodny Cajuste or Conor McDermott would start at left tackle on quarterback Mac Jones' blind side against a strong Buffalo pass rush. The Bills will be without star pass-rusher Von Miller (knee), but New England's offensive line could be vulnerable if Brown is unable to play.
The New England Patriots re-signed offensive tackle Trent Brown to an undisclosed two-year deal on Monday, according to a source. It's a big move for the Patriots after Brown appeared to be headed elsewhere on the open market. The 29-year-old has played in just 14 total games the last two seasons with the Patriots and Las Vegas Raiders due to injuries, and he's only played in two full seasons in his seven years in the NFL. Brown was a Pro Bowler as recently as 2019 with the Raiders, though, and he'll give the Patriots a solid presence at right tackle if he's healthy. His return is good news for second-year quarterback Mac Jones.
The New England Patriots activated offensive tackle Trent Brown (calf) from Injured Reserve on Saturday and placed linebacker Jamie Collins (ankle) on IR in a corresponding move. Brown was able to return to practice this week and looked good enough to be able to return to action in Week 10 against the Cleveland Browns as the team's starting right tackle. Collins, meanwhile, will be forced to miss at least three games. In five games for the Patriots this year, Collins has seven tackles, one sack and one interception. Brown's return will bolster a New England offensive line that has been playing better in recent weeks. Brown has been out since Week 1.
New England Patriots offensive tackle Trent Brown (right calf) has been placed on injured reserve, according to Field Yates of ESPN. He will miss at least three games as injuries continue to plague the New England O-line. The 28-year-old played seven snaps against the Dolphins in Week 1 and has been injured ever since. Brown is one of four starting offensive linemen who won't suit up for the Patriots against the Texans on Sunday. Shaq Mason (abdomen) was ruled out ahead of time while Isaiah Wynn and Michael Onwenu remain on the Reserve/COVID-19 list. As a result, the Patriots' backfield could struggle while running behind backup linemen, though a favorable matchup against Houston helps to alleviate some concerns.
New England Patriots offensive tackle Trent Brown (calf) has been downgraded to out for Week 2 against the Jets. He suffered the injury against the Dolphins last week. With Brown inactive, New England is expected to turn to lineman Yasir Durant, who was acquired from the Chiefs earlier this month. Durant played 23 snaps last week while Justin Herron, who initially replaced Brown when he went down, played 46.
New England Patriots offensive tackle Trent Brown (ankle) is being considered "day-to-day" with a minor calf strain that he suffered in the Week 1 loss to the Miami Dolphins, according to a source. Brown was injured in the first quarter of the game against Miami on Sunday, but it sounds as if he'll have a chance to return as early as Week 2 against the New York Jets. The 28-year-old will likely be replaced at right tackle by Justin Herron if he's forced to miss any time. It's a situation worth watching for an offensive line trying to make life easy for rookie quarterback Mac Jones in 2021.
