2 years agoThe Buffalo Bills elevated wide receiver
John Brown from their practice squad to their active roster for the Thursday night game in Week 13 against the New England Patriots. This will be Brown's first game active in 2022 after spending the 2021 season with the Denver Broncos, Jacksonville Jaguars and Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The 32-year-old had a 1,000-yard season as recently as 2019 with the Bills, and he could see some offensive snaps on Thursday night with
Jamison Crowder,
Jake Kumerow and
Marquez Stevenson all on Injured Reserve. Even then, he'll be well off the fantasy radar behind the likes of
Stefon Diggs,
Gabriel Davis,
Isaiah McKenzie and rookie
Khalil Shakir.

2 years agoThe Buffalo Bills have decided to add extra depth to their roster. On Saturday, they signed wide receiver
John Brown to their practice squad. Bills fans should remember Brown from his two years with the organization. In 24 games, Brown hauled in 105 receptions, 1,518 receiving yards, and nine touchdowns through two seasons in Buffalo. The expectation is that he won't make as significant impact this time around. It appears Brown was added as extra depth, so he probably isn't someone worth stashing in fantasy formats. It's unlikely he makes much of an impact unless
Stefon Diggs or
Gabe Davis go down with an injury.

3 years agoThe Green Bay Packers tried out veteran free-agent wide receiver
John Brown on Wednesday. Brown spent time with four teams last year and finished with no catches on three targets in four games with the Denver Broncos, Jacksonville Jaguars and Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The 32-year-old would be a long shot to make Green Bay's final 53-man roster if he were to sign with the team, even though the Packers' receiver depth isn't great after
Davante Adams,
Marquez Valdes-Scantling and
Equanimeous St. Brown all left in free agency. Brown would be competing with the likes of
Amari Rodgers,
Juwann Winfree,
Malik Taylor and rookie
Romeo Doubs if he signs with Green Bay.

3 years agoThe Tampa Bay Buccaneers signed veteran wide receiver
John Brown to their practice squad on Thursday and released running back
Darwin Thompson in a corresponding move. Brown played in four games with the Jacksonville Jaguars and Denver Broncos this year, but he only played 19 combined offensive snaps and failed to catch any of his three targets. The Buccaneers are in need of receiver depth heading into the playoffs now that
Antonio Brown is no longer on the roster.
Chris Godwin (knee) is done for the rest of the year and
Cyril Grayson (hamstring) is doubtful to play this Sunday against the Philadelphia Eagles. Brown could be added to the team's active roster for wild-card weekend, but he's highly likely to have much of a role at all.
