Cincinnati Bengals offensive tackle Trent Brown is out for the season after suffering a torn patella tendon during Monday night’s game against the Washington Commanders.
Brown, who started in eight games for the New England Patriots in 2023, was replaced by Bengals rookie first-round draft pick Amarius Mims after being carted off the field. He is expected to undergo season-ending surgery, according to a report from NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport.
Brown signed a one-year deal with the Cincinnati Bengals worth $4.75 million in the offseason. He was a cornerstone of the Patriots’ offensive line for the previous three seasons.
Brown helped the Patriots win Super Bowl LIII and earned a Pro Bowl nod in 2019. He’ll now shift his focus from regular season football to the long road to recovery for hopefully a 2025 return.
