In some slightly surprising Sunday news, the Philadelphia Eagles have placed LB Jatavis brown on the reserve/retired list.

This is a little weird considering that Jatavis Brown only signed with the Eagles this past offseason. There is a chance he missed the opt-out window for the 2020 season and this is a way around that, allowing Brown to sit the season out due to the COVID-19 outbreak.

According to Dov Kleiman however, Brown is fully intending on retiring.

Brown was only 26-years-old, wildly athletic, but coming off of a stint with the Chargers where his play, although contextual, dropped off after an emphatic rookie year.
