The four-time Pro Bowl selection missed just one game over his previous five NFL seasons. Brown was tied as the No. 19-rated tackle in the NFL last season, according to Pro Football Focus. He led all tackles in snaps.
Brown entered the league as a third-round pick by the Baltimore Ravens in the 2018 NFL Draft. The 6-foot-8, 363-pound offensive lineman spent his first three seasons with the Ravens.
The Ravens traded Brown to the Chiefs in 2021.
