Former Chargers linebacker Jatavis Brown is stepping away from the football field.
The Eagles, who signed Brown earlier this offseason, placed him on the reserve/retired list on Sunday.
Brown was a fifth-round pick of the Bolts back in the 2016 NFL Draft out of the University of Akron. He played in 12 games with seven starts as a rookie, posting 79 total tackles with career-bests in both tackles-for-loss (8), sacks (3.5), forced fumbles (2), and passes defended (6).
After a phenomenal rookie campaign, Brown spent his final playing days in the blue and gold hampered by injuries, never really getting back to his original form.
As a senior at Akron in 2015, he led the Zips with 116 tackles, 19.5 tackles-for-loss, and 11.5 sacks with one interception.
