A native of Canton, Ga., Brown prepped collegiately at Duke (2017-19) and UCLA (2020-21), totaling 42 games played, rushing for 2,284 net yards on 406 carries (5.6 avg.) with 21 rushing touchdowns, as well as 41 receptions for 431 yards (10.5 avg.) and two receiving scores over his five seasons of action.
Reeves-Maybin, who is in his ninth NFL season in 2025, joined the Bears prior to Week 12 and has played in two games with Chicago thus far this season. Reeves-Maybin has appeared in 116 career regular-season games (14 starts), as well as four postseason outings, for the Bears (2025), Lions and Houston Texans (2022) since entering the league as a fourth-round selection (124th overall) by Detroit in 2017. Reeves-Maybin has amassed 160 tackles (109 solo), including nine tackles for loss, five forced fumbles and three fumble recoveries defensively, adding 61 career special teams tackles. In 2023, Reeves-Maybin earned AP Second-Team All-Pro status and Pro Bowl recognition for his performance on special teams. A native of Clarksville, Tenn., Reeves-Maybin appeared in 41 career collegiate games at Tennessee (2013-16), amassing 240 tackles (149 solo), including 27 tackles for loss, earning Second-Team All-Southeastern Conference honors in 2015.
