Washington Commanders: Noah Brown to Injured Reserve
The Washington Commanders have placed wide receiver Noah Brown on the injured reserve list, after suffering a groin injury that has kept him out of action. Brown was injured in the Week 2 loss against the Green Bay Packers. Although it seemed like he might return, as he participated in two days of practice, he ultimately couldn’t play on Saturday before the Monday game against the Chicago Bears. Coach Dan Quinn confirmed that receiver Terry McLaurin, absent for the last three games due to a right quadriceps injury, will participate in Wednesday’s practice. His status will be evaluated at the end of the week, before Sunday’s game against Dallas. Additionally, receiver Treylon Burks will visit Washington today. Burks, selected in the first round by Tennessee in 2022, was released by the team on October 7th. He suffered a fractured collarbone on July 26th and a torn ACL during the 2024 season. The Commanders initially did not place Brown on the injured reserve list, anticipating his return in four weeks.Brown had three receptions for 36 yards in the first two games. In 11 games last season, he caught 35 passes for 453 yards and a touchdown. He was also the subject of six defensive pass interference penalties in 2024, ranking second in the NFL.It wasn’t a setback, it just didn’t respond as needed. Hindsight is 20-20, but the main thing is that he recovers.
