I've read they may leave Brown on the PUP to start the season. He is still only 23, I'd be fine with giving him a year on PUP that is essentially a Practice Squad year again.
They will be better to move him to IR. But in order to return, he will have to make the initial 53. But they can play some number games with that. Or they could move him to IR before game 1, then he has to be on it for the entire year. Which may not be a bad thing.
If he stays on PUP, then they have 8 weeks to make a decision. Activate him or release him. Maybe they can move him to IR at that point. I am not sure of the rules on that.
No matter what I think he still has some value right now, until they see if Wilson and / or Smith can do what Brown does in blocking and ST's. I noticed late in the game both Wilson and Smith were in on punt coverage units, probably as gunners with their speed. I know Smith did that some while at OSU.
