I think the reason for the pickup was to eventually move on from Brown. However, this waiver claim is a virtual unknown right now and will take some time to integrate into the team and let the coaches learn if he can contribute. He was obviously cut for a reason. Brown will be needed until the new kid proves he's expendable.
Fisher, Winston and Westerman coming off the bench at OL make Hopkins a casualty of the numbers game here. Hopefully he makes it on the PS.
