I’ve had this same issue!! I was thinking, lack of light or nutrients! I had a few leaves turn this brown color or some discoloration when it was a little ways from the window. Do keep this leaf as it’ll help give the plant energy, relocate and hope the next leaf is better. If that leaf looks worse over time I’d cut it, but only if most the leaf is about to die
