Free-agent offensive lineman Trent Brown (knee) is signing a one-year, $3 million contract with the Houston Texans. The 31-year-old started two games for the Cincinnati Bengals in 2024 at tackle, but his season ended early after tearing his patellar tendon during their Week 3 outing against the Washington Commanders. The Texans continue to revamp their offensive line, with Brown making the third acquisition for the team up front, joining fellow tackle Cam Robinson and guard Laken Tomlinson. Brown was once a Pro Bowler during his lone stint with the then-Oakland Raiders back in 2019, though he hasn't quite reached that level since. Injuries have been an issue for the 10-year pro, but the move allows Houston to keep teammate Tytus Howard inside at guard.
Bengals Right Tackle Trent Brown On Crutches With Knee Injury
Cincinnati Bengals right tackle Trent Brown (knee) exited Monday night's game with a knee injury. He was seen in the locker room with a full brace on his right leg and using crutches after the game. Brown went down during a pass protection play in the second quarter, immediately grabbing his right knee before being carted off the field. His fellow offensive linemen helped him onto the cart, offering their best wishes as he was taken to the X-ray room with 6:25 left in the half. The veteran was making his third start of the season after signing a one-year contract worth up to $4.75 million during the offseason, following three years with the New England Patriots. When asked about Brown's condition in the postgame press conference, Bengals coach Zac Taylor remarked, "It doesn't look good." Rookie Amarius Mims, who had just taken his first NFL snap six plays earlier during a field goal drive, stepped in to replace Brown. Mims, the team's first-round pick this year, is expected to step up effectively. Before his preseason injury, he was tentatively set to be the starting right tackle, and now that he's healthy, he's ready to fulfill the expectations that come with his draft status.
Cincinnati Bengals right tackle Trent Brown (knee) has been ruled out for the rest of Monday's Week 3 matchup against the Washington Commanders. This is awful to see as it appeared Brown's knee gave out while trying to pass protect during the second quarter. The veteran tackle needed to be carted off the field, which is never a good sign. It wouldn't be surprising if the Bengals are without the 10-year tackle for a lengthy period of time. Amarius Mims figures to take over at right tackle for at least the rest of this game, but possibly longer if Brown misses time.
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.
