The Green Bay Packers have waived cornerback Tony Brown, the NFL team announced on Saturday.

Brown won't be with the Packers when they wind up their regular-season schedule against the Detroit Lions on Sunday or the playoffs awaiting the team in January.

Brown played in nine games for Green Bay this season, but he had not played since Nov. 24, missing the past four games.

Brown missed two games in October with a hamstring injury, and he appeared on the Packers’ injury report with a heel problem for the first three games in December.

Brown was on the field for 47 defensive snaps and 136 special-teams plays in 2019 after having 287 defensive snaps and 178 special-teams plays in 11 games with Green Bay in 2018.

Brown played on two CFP national championship teams at Alabama, and he had an interception in his final game with the Crimson Tide -- a 26-23 overtime victory against Georgia in the national title game for the 2017 season.

Brown went to training camp with the Los Angeles Chargers last year as an undrafted rookie. After the Chargers released Brown, he landed on the Packers' practice squad before being elevated to Green Bay's active roster in the fourth week of the season.

Brown had 34 tackles, five pass breakups, two forced fumbles and a tackle for loss for Green Bay in 2018. This season, he had 10 tackles.
