Impact Brown, who has only appeared in one game this season, has a chance to play in Saturday's difficult contest versus Oregon.

Dressed and available Brown (leg) is available for Friday's game against Iowa, Brian Fonseca of NJ.com reports.

Questionable for Week 3 Brown (leg) is questionable for Saturday's game against Norfolk State.

Impact For a second straight game, Rutgers' team has given Brown a questionable tag. In the previous instance, he did not play. That happening again would not be too surprising, especially considering Brown's exact role in the Rutgers offense remains unclear.

SEPTEMBER 13, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

DNP for Week 2 Brown (leg) did not play during Rutgers' 45-17 win Saturday against Miami (OH).

Impact Once again, Antwan Raymond and CJ Campbell logged most of Rutgers' carries. Ja'shon Benjamin's rushing attempts doubled. Currently, for Week 3, Norfolk State is Rutgers' next opponent.

SEPTEMBER 7, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable for Week 2 Brown (leg) is questionable for Saturday's game against Miami (OH), according to the Big Ten injury report.

SEPTEMBER 6, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Out for opener Brown (leg) is listed as out for Thursday's game against Ohio.

Impact Brown suffered a leg injury back in October and missed all of spring camp due to the issue. He appears to still be dealing with the injury and will be unavailable Thursday.

OCTOBER 16, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Heads to locker room Brown went back to the locker room during Saturday's game against Wisconsin after sustaining what appears to be a right leg injury, per the Big Ten Network Broadcast.

Impact Brown looked to be in significant pain following the incident and needed to be helped off the field and into the locker room. Considering the lopsided score it would be surprising to see Brown retake the field. If he's unable to return, his next chance to play would come Oct. 19 against UCLA.

OCTOBER 12, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Three carries in loss Brown tallied three rushes for 12 yards during Saturday's 14-7 loss to Nebraska.

Impact Brown didn't make any impact after totaling three touchdowns over the previous two games. The junior looked like he could be in line for a true RB2 role with 28 carries through his first two games. But, he's now accrued just eight rushing attempts across the past two games. Unless the Scarlet Knights can get out to a big lead, then it looks like star senior running back Kyle Monangai will continue to log the vast majoriy of rushing attempts for the team going forward.

OCTOBER 6, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Scores another touchdown Week 5 Brown had five rushes for 44 yards and one touchdown during Friday's 21-18 win versus Washington.

Impact Brown made one of the critical plays of the game when he ran over a Huskies defensive back on a 37-yard touchdown early in the fourth quarter. While he logged a season-low in carries, the junior was still the only running back to log a carry behind bell-cow starter Kyle Monangai, who rushed 25 times for 132 yards and another touchdown. Brown logged exactly 14 carries in both his other two appearances against Howard in Week 1 and Virginia Tech in Week 4. He'll look to get more carries during this coming week's road matchup at Nebraska, though this could be the toughest rushing defense that Rutgers faces this season.

Samuel Brown rushes for a 37-yard TD, extending Rutgers' lead over Washington

SEPTEMBER 28, 2024 • FOX SPORTS

Scores twice in narrow win Brown tallied 14 carries for 60 yards and two touchdowns during Saturday's 26-23 win versus Virginia Tech.

Impact Brown returned to action after missing the Scarlet Knights' previous game two weeks ago with an undisclosed injury. The 222-pound junior slotted right back into a siginificant role behind senior Kyle Monangai, who logged 26 carries for 84 yards and one score Saturday. Brown logged his first two touchdowns of the season, first on a three-yard scoring plunge late in the first quarter followed by a five-yard run early in the third quarter. So long as he remains healthy, Brown should continue to see a healthy workload as the RB2 in what is an extremely run-heavy Rutgers offense. The Scarlet Knights will look to keep things rolling on the ground during this Friday's matchup against Washington.
