Sydney Brown - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

Logs six stops in starting role Brown finished Friday's Week 13 loss to Chicago with six tackles (three solo).

Impact Brown was on the field for all but two of Philadelphia's 87 defensive snaps as he moved into a starting role as a result of Andrew Mukuba (ankle) landing on IR on Wednesday. Mukuba could very well be out for the remainder of the season, so Brown figures to retain the starting role moving forward. Prior to Friday, he had been working mostly on special teams this season.

Brown has started just seven of his 36 career regular-season contests during his three-year career, but he's next up alongside Reed Blankenship on the back end of the Philadelphia defense. Brown has logged just 86 defensive snaps through 11 appearances this season.

Impact Brown saw his role on defense diminish in his second season with the Eagles, operating primarily as a special-teams option in 2024. The safety missed the first five games of the year with a knee injury, limiting his upside early in the year. Brown figures to be set to play a similar role with Philadelphia in 2025.
