Impact Brown was waived by the Panthers with an injury settlement in May due to an unspecified injury. He worked out with the Browns in July, and while nothing came from that, the 25-year-old running back is back to full health and will look to earn a spot on the Falcons' 53-man roster. Brown has appeared in three regular-season games since entering the NFL as an undrafted free agent in 2021.

Staying in Carolina The Panthers signed Brown to a reserve/future contract Monday, Darin Gantt of the team's official site reports.

Impact Brown spent most of the 2022 season on Carolina's practice squad, aside from being called up to the active roster for Weeks 8 and 9.

Impact Brown was called up to the Panthers' active roster for both Weeks 8 and 9, and he totaled nine carries for 43 yards while also nabbing two catches on three targets for 10 yards over the two contests. With the Chuba Hubbard (ankle) unavailable, the 23-year-old ranked third among Carolina ball carriers with 13 offensive snaps in Sunday's Week 9 loss to the Bengals. Should Hubbard be unable to play again Thursday versus the Falcons, Brown would be a likely candidate to be elevated for a third straight week.

NOVEMBER 7, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Gets five touches Brown rushed three times for 16 yards and caught two of three targets for 10 yards in Sunday's 42-21 loss to the Bengals.

Impact Brown and Raheem Blackshear featured behind starting tailback D'Onta Foreman. Of the trio, it was the rookie Blackshear who was most productive, totaling 53 yards and a touchdown on nine touches. With a quick turnaround in Week 10 to face the Falcons on Thursday night, Carolina may remain without Chuba Hubbard (ankle), potentially opening opportunities for Brown and Blackshear once again.

Impact With Christian McCaffrey gone and Chuba Hubbard (ankle) out, Brown made his season debut in Week 8. He played 18 offensive snaps which was significantly behind D'Onta Foreman's 54 but ahead of Raheem Blackshear's seven. Brown rushed six times for 27 yards but failed to haul in his only target. If Hubbard remains out for Week 9, expect Brown to be elevated to the Panthers' active roster for a second straight game.

Impact The severity of Brown's injury is unknown at this time. He is currently firmly planted at No. 4 on the team's depth chart at running back behind Christian McCaffrey, Chuba Hubbard and D'Onta Foreman. Thus, he projects to be a fringe candidate for the final 53-man roster assuming his health is up to par.

AUGUST 20, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Remains with Carolina Brown signed a reserve/future contract with the Panthers on Monday.

Impact Brown appeared in one game for Carolina in 2021 and spent the rest of the season on the practice squad. The rookie UDFA out of UAB will attempt to secure a roster spot in training camp for his second season.

JANUARY 2, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Returns to practice squad Brown reverted to the Panthers' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's official transaction log.

Impact Brown was a gameday elevation for Sunday's loss to Minnesota, though he was actually a healthy scratch for the contest. Chuba Hubbard and Royce Freeman are Carolina's only healthy running backs with Christian McCaffrey (hamstring) on injured reserve, so Brown could quickly rejoin the active roster.

OCTOBER 18, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Not playing Sunday Brown (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game versus Minnesota, Joe Person of The Athletic reports.

Impact Brown was elevated from the practice squad Saturday but won't be suiting up for Week 6. Royce Freeman will be the sole running back on the active roster behind starter Chuba Hubbard against the Vikings after Christian McCaffrey (hamstring) recently moved to injured reserve.

Put on waivers Brown was waived by the Panthers on Tuesday, Darin Gantt of the team's official site reports.

Impact An undrafted rookie, Brown was unable to beat out Chuba Hubbard and Trenton Cannon to be Christian McCaffrey's backup. Brown was an exciting athlete at UAB with 4,011 yards and 41 touchdowns over four seasons. He would be a valuable addition to the practice squad if he clears waivers.

SEPTEMBER 1, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Scores in preseason finale Brown rushed 11 times for 57 yards and a touchdown in Friday night's 34-9 preseason win over the Steelers.

Impact Brown entered the game behind Chuba Hubbard and impressed with his snaps, notably splitting two would-be tacklers en route to a 20-yard touchdown in the third quarter. With Reggie Bonnafon (undisclosed) and Rodney Smith (undisclosed) both sidelined this preseason, Brown has made a significant case to be named Carolina's third tailback, making his situation interesting to monitor prior to the team's final cuts.
