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.

Brown appeared in six regular-season games for Cleveland in 2024 before ending the season on IR due to a foot injury.
