Brown signed with the 49ers' 53-man roster Tuesday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
EDGE Analysis
Brown was signed off Pittsburgh's practice squad in response to cornerbacks Samuel Womack (knee) and Ambry Thomas (knee) suffering injuries over the past two weeks. The 29-year-old has appeared in 94 games throughout his seven years in the league, tallying 324 tackles, 59 pass deflections and nine interceptions. Expect Brown to play a depth role in a depleted San Francisco secondary going forward.

Brown (Achilles) had a tryout with the Jets on Monday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
Brown ruptured his Achilles tendon in Week 13 of last season. Prior to the injury, he had recorded 42 tackles (33 solo) across 12 games. The veteran cornerback's tryout with New York seemingly indicates he is recovered from the injury and looking for a new opportunity.

Dallas placed Brown (Achilles) on its injured reserve list Saturday, Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News reports.
EDGE Analysis
Brown sustained a ruptured Achilles tendon in the Cowboys' win versus Indianapolis in Week 13, and he'll now spend the remainder of the season on the injured reserve list. In his absence, rookie fifth-rounder DaRon Bland should operate as Dallas' second boundary corner across from Trevon Diggs.

Brown suffered a torn left Achilles' tendon in Sunday's win versus the Colts.
EDGE Analysis
After going down with a lower-leg injury in Sunday's contest, it was feared to have been an Achilles issue, which was confirmed Monday following initial tests. Team owner Jerry Jones confirmed that the cornerback will be out for the remainder of the season. In his absence, Kelvin Joseph was elevated to a starting role in the Cowboys' secondary and he will likely get the first shot at replacing Brown opposite Trevon Diggs moving forward. Brown will finish the 2022 campaign with 42 tackles, seven pass deflections and a forced fumble over 12 games.

The Cowboys fear Brown suffered a torn Achilles during Sunday's win over the Colts, Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News reports.
EDGE Analysis
Brown will undergo an MRI to confirm his diagnosis, but he'll be forced to miss the remainder of the year if he tore his Achilles. His absence would be significant for the Cowboys' defense, as he had played at least 93 percent of the team's defensive snaps in 10 of his first 11 appearances of the season. Kelvin Joseph and C.J. Goodwin will likely take on increased roles in the secondary late in the season.

Brown won't return to Sunday's game against the Colts due to a left ankle injury, Calvin Watkins of The Dallas Morning News reports.
EDGE Analysis
Brown went down in the third quarter of Sunday's matchup and was ruled out for the game shortly after being carted to the locker room. Kelvin Joseph and Trevon Diggs took over as the Cowboys' cornerbacks on the outside following Brown's departure, while C.J. Goodwin is also a candidate to see increased playing time.

Brown (concussion) is active Sunday against the Vikings, Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News reports.
EDGE Analysis
Brown suffered a concussion in Week 10's loss to the Packers, but the veteran corner has been able to clear protocols in time to play Sunday. He should draw the start opposite Trevon Diggs at corner.
