Tennessee Titans inside linebacker Jayon Brown, who is soon to be an unrestricted free agent, has reportedly received full medical clearance from an elbow injury that ended his 2020 campaign early.
According to NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero, Brown received the clearance on Friday, which comes at the perfect time with free agency set to begin on March 17, and the legal tampering period two days before that.
Brown suffered the injury during the Week 11 contest against the Baltimore Ravens and was knocked out for the season.
In his stead, the Titans deployed 2019 sixth-round pick, David Long, who played well overall and could be an in-house replacement if Tennessee decides it can’t or doesn’t want to bring Brown back.
Soon to be free-agent LB Jayon Brown received full and “unrestricted” medical clearance Friday from renowned elbow specialist Dr. Shawn O’Driscoll, per source. Great news and timing for Brown, a rising #Titans star before his November injury and one of the top LBs available.

Brown will be one of the top inside linebackers available on the open market this offseason if he doesn’t re-sign. Spotrac estimates his market value at a contract worth $11.1 million per year over four years.
