The Facts: The Washington Redskins released Brown, primarily a kick returner, on Friday.

Diehards Line:Brown began last season as the Redskins' main kick returner, but was released after fumbling in Week 1, then was re-signed in November. He averaged 23.1 yards on kickoff returns, 4.8 on punt returns, and had a 91-yard kickoff runback for a touchdown against Arizona on Dec. 11.
