Omar Brown: Everything you need to know

The Packers hosted Brown (chest) for a workout Tuesday, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports. Brown spent training camp with the Packers but suffered a collapsed lung during Green Bay's second preseason game against Indianapolis in mid-August. He was waived by the Packers with an injury settlement in early September, but the 25-year-old safety has progressed enough in his recovery to work out for teams. Brown will look to catch on with a team in need of secondary depth and an extra contributor on special teams.

The Packers waived Brown (chest) from injured reserve with an injury settlement Friday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports. Brown was expected to spend the entire season on IR recovering from a lung injury he suffered during Green Bay's second preseason game at Indianapolis, but now he's in line for free agency. Once he's back in football shape, he'll be free to sign and suit up for any team.

The Packers placed Brown (chest) on injured reserve Tuesday, Wes Hodklewicz of the Packers' official site reports. Brown stayed at a local hospital in Indianapolis overnight after suffering a lung injury during the Packers' preseason game against the Colts. The injury is severe enough for him to land on IR, which will force him to miss the entire 2025 season unless he reaches an injury settlement with the Packers.
