The Lions placed Brown on the reserve/COVID-19 list one day after the Lions beat the Minnesota Vikings, 29-27, at Ford Field.
Brown has started the past eight games at center for the Lions and played well in the first extended action of his career. The Lions have averaged 143.3 rushing yards per game the past four weeks.
