Cardinals' Baron Browning: Limited production in 2024
Rotowire
Browning finished the 2024 season with 21 total tackles (12 solo), including 2.0 sacks, over 13 games with the Broncos and Cardinals.
Browning suffered a foot injury early in the season, forcing him to be on injured reserve with the Broncos for four weeks before returning in Week 7. The linebacker was then traded to the Cardinals on Nov. 4, spending the final eight games of the year with Arizona. Browning's 21 total tackles were a career low and he'll enter the offseason looking for his next opportunity as an unrestricted free agent.

Rotowire
Browning (neck) is questionable to suit up Saturday against the Rams, Theo Mackie of The Arizona Republic reports.
Browning injured his neck Sunday against the Panthers and was held to a trio of limited practices this week.

Rotowire
Denver traded Browning to Arizona on Monday in exchange for a 2025 sixth-round draft pick, Zac Stevens of TheDNVR.com reports.

Rotowire
Browning (hip) has been ruled out for the Broncos' Week 8 matchup with the Jaguars.

Further testing on the injury Browning sustained in the Week 7 loss to the Jets revealed that a multi-week absence should be expected.
