Cincinnati Bengals right tackle Trent Brown will miss the remainder of the 2024 season, leaving first-rounder Amarius Mims as the full-time starter.
During the loss to Washington on Monday night, Brown suffered a torn patellar tendon that requires surgery, according to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport.
The news isn’t surprising given Brown needed a cart to leave the field and the reaction of his teammates. He had arrived via free agency on a one-year deal over the summer to fill the void left by Jonah Williams’ departure.
Mims stepped in as the starter on short notice in primetime and had some ups and downs. But he was seriously in contention to steal the starting job by Week 1 before a pec injury cost him the first two games of the season.
Now, Mims will attempt to lock down the right side as a rookie.
