- ESPN’s John Keim has reported that Washington Redskins inside linebacker Zach Brown will start in the Redskins second preseason game against the Green Bay Packers. Brown was listed behind Mason Foster and Will Compton for the team’s first game against the Baltimore Ravens, but will replace Compton in the starting lineup for week 2.
- Brown enjoyed a career year with the Buffalo Bills in 2016, where his PFF overall grade of 83.1 ranked 17th of 86 qualifying linebackers. On his 977 defensive snaps, he tallied 59 total stops (tackles that constitute an offensive failure), the third-most among inside linebackers in the league.
- Brown impressed during his first game in a Redskins uniform. The veteran linebacker finished the game with a PFF overall grade of 83.0 — the second-highest grade of the game — after he logged two stops on just 12 defensive snaps.
