Brown (ankle/knee) was recently cleared to resume all football activities, Paul Dehner Jr. of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.
Brown revealed that he received a clean bill of health shortly after re-signing with the Bengals on a three-year, $21 million deal. He missed the final seven games of 2018 due to the injury, finishing the season with 42 tackles (27 solo) and two interceptions in seven contests. Dehner relays that Brown wants to shed 15 pounds this offseason, which would aid the linebacker's sideline-to-sideline speed and perhaps help him boost his tackle count.
