According to NFL Insider Adam Caplan the Cincinnati Bengals hosted safety Stevie Brown late week. Brown, a former seventh-round selection during the 2010 NFL draft out of Michigan, has 23 career games played with one start. He was a practice squad player with the Raiders during his rookie season until he signed onto the Raiders 53-man roster in mid-September. Oakland released him during final cuts on September 3, 2011. He signed with the Carolina Panthers for three days before being released, eventually finding a home during the 2011 season with the Indianapolis Colts as a special teams player.
During his limited career, Brown has posted 29 tackles and two passes defensed.
