Overview

• New York received Brownlee and a 2026 seventh-round pick from Tennessee for a 2026 sixth-rounder, a deal confirmed on Sept. 23.
• The Jets, 0-3 with tackling and coverage issues and injuries in the back end, add depth that could challenge Brandon Stephens for snaps, per ESPN.
• Brownlee missed Week 3 with an ankle injury and was seen in a walking boot, leaving his immediate availability uncertain.
• Drafted in the fifth round in 2024, Brownlee started 14 games as a rookie and is praised for run defense and physicality but has drawn frequent penalties.
• The Titans’ minimal return drew criticism as they move on from a young starter, with Jalyn Armour-Davis and others in line for more work in Tennessee’s thin corner group.
