Brown has been promoted to the Ravens active roster, Jeff Zrebiec of The Baltimore Sun reports.

EDGE Analysis

Brown, a wide receiver who converted to tight end, has been with the Ravens since the end of last season and has been on their practice squad since final cuts were made early in September. His promotion is likely due to two of the team's five usual tight ends being injured. As a depth option it's unlikely Brown has much of a role unless even more injuries should force the team into using him.

Brown was released by the Ravens on Saturday, Jeff Zrebiec of the Baltimore Sun reports.

EDGE Analysis

A converted wide receiver, Brown was always seen as a long shot to make the Raven's final roster. The Ravens do remain potentially thin at the tight end position, however, with Ben Watson out for the season and both Dennis Pitta and Maxx Williams dealing with injuries.

Brown caught his only target for a six-yard gain in Saturday's preseason win over the Lions.

EDGE Analysis

A 2015 UDFA and converted wide receiver, Brown looked like a long shot to make the final roster, but his odds improved Saturday when starting tight end Ben Watson suffered a torn Achilles. The Ravens are carrying seven tight ends, but with Darren Waller and Nick Boyle both suspended to start the season, Brown now has a shot to join Crockett Gillmore, Dennis Pitta (finger) and Maxx Williams (undisclosed) on the Week 1 roster.

Brown suffered a head injury during Monday's practice, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Brown left practice early Monday after taking a shot to the chin from cornerback Sam Brown, while the severity of the injury remains unclear. He may be sidelined for a short period of time if he's forced to undergo the league's concussion protocol.

Brown, an undrafted rookie out of James Madison, finished the 2015 season with six catches for 64 yards on 11 targets in six games

EDGE Analysis

Brown didn't survive final cuts before the season, but Baltimore's slew of injuries eventually led to an opportunity. His highlight was a long gain that was called back on a phantom offensive pass interference penalty, depriving him of what should have been his first NFL touchdown. Brown has ideal size at 6-5, 225 pounds, but his lack of quickness will likely resign him to fringe roster status heading into training camp next season. He might eventually consider a position switch to tight end, though such a move would only make sense if he were to latch on with a different organization. Baltimore's need at wide receiver is far greater than the need at tight end.
