Seahawks re-sign Brown, place Dickson on IR

The Seattle Seahawks have re-signed wide receiver Jaron Brown, whom they released on Saturday while trimming their roster to 53.

The team announced Brown's return Monday and put tight end Ed Dickson on injured reserve in a corresponding roster move.

Brown's release came as a surprise given the Seahawks' frequently-stated plans to incorporate him into their offense more in 2019 compared to last season, when he was their No. 4 receiver in terms of offensive snaps and receptions. He's in line to potentially start alongside Tyler Lockett in Week 1 with David Moore recovering from a shoulder injury and rookie DK Metcalf recovering from knee surgery that has his availability for the opener in question.
