The Patriots signed Brown (ankle) to a contract Wednesday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Brown appeared in nine regular-season games for the Titans in 2025 and had two stints on injured reserve due to knee and ankle injuries. He served almost exclusively on special teams and logged three solo tackles for Tennessee last year. Brown's addition gives the Patriots added depth in the secondary and another contributor on special teams.

Titans' Mike Brown: Exits game with ankle injury
Rotowire
Brown (ankle) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the 49ers.
Brown appeared to sustain the injury in the first half, and he is being evaluated by medical staff to determine whether he can return. Xavier Woods (hamstring) is also questionable to return, so Kendell Brooks is poised for a larger role in the defense for as long as both Brown and Woods are sidelined.

Titans' Mike Brown: Four starts in 2024
Rotowire
Brown registered 49 tackles (26 solo) and one pass defense over 17 regular-season games in 2024.
Brown was mostly utilized on special teams over the Titans' first seven regular-season games. He played at least 44 defensive snaps over the following four games (starting in three of them) due to Quandre Diggs suffering a season-ending foot injury in Week 9, and Brown accumulated 23 tackles (13 solo) over that span. Brown is an exclusive rights free agent, which means he won't be able to negotiate a contract with another team if the Titans extend a qualifying offer to the 25-year-old safety.

Titans' Mike Brown: Solid in starting effort
Rotowire
Brown recorded seven tackles (five solo) in Sunday's 27-17 loss to the Chargers.
Brown made his first start of the season with Quandre Diggs (foot) on injured reserve, and he impressed by ranking second on the team in tackles. However, Brown's starting gig isn't guaranteed, especially with the Titans bringing in Mike Edwards via waivers. If Brown can lock down the role, he'll be considered a solid fantasy option.
