The Buffalo Bills may have found a former Baltimore Ravens player who they believe could help them in their upcoming AFC divisional playoff game against them this weekend.
Earlier on Wednesday afternoon, the Bills signed former Ravens quarterback Anthony Brown to their practice squad.
While Brown hasn't been with the Ravens since the 2022 season, he could prove useful to Buffalo's game plan for the upcoming playoff game.
Brown, who played college football at Boston College and Oregon, is a mobile quarterback who could be used as a backup to Lamar Jackson when the Bills hold practices.
In the NFL, Brown has only one start and two games played. This occurred during a season in which Jackson went down early due to injury.
His first appearance came after then-Baltimore backup Tyler Huntley suffered a concussion in Week 14 against the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Brown likely won't play Sunday as Josh Allen (above) and Mitch Trubisky are healthy.
But Brown could be used in practice to emulate Ravens starting quarterback Lamar Jackson.
Brown then started the Ravens' final regular season game against the Cincinnati Bengals. His total NFL statistic reads 22 completions in 49 attempts for 302 yards, no touchdowns, two interceptions, five sacks taken and one fumble.
Since leaving Baltimore, Brown has been on the Raiders, Bills and Cardinals practice squads in 2024, before re-signing with Buffalo's practice squad today.
Brown is not likely to be named to the Bills' game-day roster on Sunday, with no injuries reported to starting quarterback Josh Allen or backup Mitch Trubisky.
The Bills and Ravens have only met once in the playoffs, and they did so in the divisional round of the 2021 season.
There, Buffalo defeated Baltimore 17-3. They then lost to the Kansas City Chiefs 38-24.
The two teams faced off earlier this year in Week 4 of the NFL season. Baltimore won that game 35-10, with Jackson throwing for 156 yards and two touchdowns while rushing for 54 yards and a touchdown. In comparison, Allen only threw for 180 yards and ran for 21 yards without scoring a touchdown.
The biggest threat the Ravens had that day was running back Derrick Henry, who torched the Bills defense for 199 yards and a touchdown.
