Earlier this week, the Tennessee Titans waived cornerback Shakur Brown with an injury designation before placing him on injured reserve, which normally would have ended his season.
However, according to the league’s transactions wire, the two sides agreed to an injury settlement, which removes Brown from IR and allows him to go to another team.
While Brown can’t re-sign with Tennessee right now, there is an avenue for him to do so down the road, according to Russell Street Report.
If a player is released with an Injury Settlement, he can not be re-signed by that team until after the term of the Injury Settlement (the number of weeks used to calculate the Injury Settlement), plus three (3) additional weeks (in 2016, this was changed from 6 weeks to 3 weeks).
The injury is a tough break for Brown, who had a good shot to make the Titans’ roster after standing out in training camp. He should latch on someplace else once he’s cleared to return.
