Cleveland released Brown on Sunday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports. Brown logged six tackles (three solo) across three preseason games, but he likely won't be on Cleveland's 53-man roster at the start of the 2025 regular season. The veteran corner will explore his next options and should garner interest from teams looking to bolster depth in the secondary. Brown appeared in six regular-season games for Cleveland in 2024 before ending the season on IR due to a foot injury.

Tony Brown: Breaking News
Staying with Cleveland
Brown re-signed with the Browns on Thursday. Last year with Cleveland, the cornerback suffered a foot injury in late October, landed on injured reserve and ended up missing the rest of the season. In six games, Brown played 135 snaps on special teams and none on defense, recording five tackles (two solo) and a forced fumble. Brown has played for four teams since entering the league in 2018, starting just five of the 67 games he's appeared in.
Will not return
Brown suffered the head injury on the opening kickoff. After being evaluated, it was determined the Alabama product did indeed suffer a concussion and will now be subject to the league's five-step process to gain clearance to return to the field.
