Signs one-year contract with Lions Brown (ankle) signed a one-year contract with the Lions on Sunday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Impact Brown started 12 games last season with Frank Ragnow (toe) banged up, and the former will be rewarded with a one-year deal rather than becoming a restricted free agent. The 25-year-old suffered an ankle injury during the Lions' regular-season finale but should be healthy for offseason activities. However, he'll likely shift to a backup role since Ragnow is expected to be a full participant in the team's offseason training program.
