The Panthers placed Brown (thumb) on injured reserve Monday, Darin Gantt of the team's official site reports. Brown left Saturday's 15-12 preseason loss to the Jets with a thumb issue, and it now appears that the injury has landed him on IR. The 30-year-old cornerback was likely fighting for a depth role in the Panthers' secondary, but he'll now be forced to miss all of 2024 unless he and Caroline reach an injury settlement at some point this season.

Leaves preseason game with injury

Brown left Saturday's preseason contest against the Jets due to a thumb injury, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports. Brown is likely fighting for one of the final spots on the active roster come the start of the season, so any missed time could be critical for his chances. Expect D'Shawn Jamison to see a few more snaps in Brown's absence.
Catches on with Carolina

The Panthers signed Brown to the 90-man training camp roster Saturday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports. Brown appeared in two regular-season games for the 49ers in 2023, playing just one snap on defense and three snaps on special teams before being released in late October. The 2016 sixth-round pick out of Purdue had his most productive season in 2021 with the Cowboys, when he registered 71 tackles (59 solo), 17 passes defended, three interceptions, one forced fumble and one touchdown across 16 regular-season games. Brown will work to earn a depth spot at corner behind starters Jaycee Horn and Dane Jackson.
