Noah Brown - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

Placed on injured reserve Brown (kidney) was placed on injured reserve Saturday, Ben Standig of The Athletic reports.

Impact This was purely a transactional move as Brown is expected to miss multiple weeks after suffering a kidney injury back in Week 13. The Commanders activated Jamison Crowder (calf) off injured reserve, but expect Dyami Brown and Olamide Zaccheaus to get first crack at filling the role opposite Terry McLaurin the team's passing attack.

Sidelined by kidney injury Brown is expected to miss several weeks (and possibly the rest of the season) due to a kidney injury, Ben Standig of The Athletic reports.

Impact It initially was reported as a rib injury when Brown exited Washington's Week 13 win over the Titans. Coming out of a Week 14 bye, coach Dan Quinn revealed Wednesday that Brown is in danger of missing the rest of the season due to an internal injury. We now know it's a kidney injury -- likely a laceration that was caused by a cracked rib. With Brown out for at least the next few weeks, there's an opportunity for Dyami Brown, Olamide Zaccheaus and Luke McCaffrey to get more snaps alongside No. 1 receiver Terry McLaurin.

Out with potential season-ending injury Commanders head coach Dan Quinn said Wednesday that Brown (rib) is "going to be out for a while" with a "significant internal injury," Sam Fortier of The Washington Post reports.

Impact Brown exited early in the Commanders' Week 13 win over the Titans with what had been listed as a rib injury, and after undergoing further testing over the team's Week 14 bye, the wideout is apparently dealing with a more severe issue than anticipated. Quinn didn't go into specifics regarding Brown's injury, though the coach noted that the 28-year-old receiver will likely be lost for the season, pending further evaluation. If that's the case, Brown's eighth professional campaign will come to an end with him having recorded 35 receptions for 453 yards and one touchdown on 56 targets over 11 games. In Brown's absence, more snaps could be available for Dyami Brown, Olamide Zaccheaus and Luke McCaffrey behind top wideout Terry McLaurin.

Injures ribs Sunday Brown suffered a rib injury during Sunday's game against the Titans, Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post reports.

Impact At the time of his exit late in the third quarter, Brown had gathered in three of four targets for 27 yards. For as long as Brown is sidelined, Olamide Zaccheaus, Dyami Brown and Luke McCaffrey will be the candidates for WR reps alongside top option Terry McLaurin.

Good to go against Titans Brown (knee) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Titans, Ralph Vacchiano of Fox Sports reports.

Impact Brown didn't practice Thursday but returned to full participation Friday to avoid an injury designation. He has established himself as the No. 2 wide receiver for Washington in recent weeks, drawing 29 targets over the past five games.

NOVEMBER 29 • ROTOWIRE

Tending to kne injury Brown was listed as a non-participant on Thursday's practice report due to a knee issue.

Impact The Commanders added Brown to the injury report midweek, so the situation will be one to monitor as the weekend approaches to see if he may be in danger of sitting out Sunday versus the Titans, especially with the team's Week 14 bye on the horizon. Over the last seven games, he's surpassed 50 receiving yards on four occasions en route to a 23-315-1 line on 42 targets during that stretch.

NOVEMBER 28 • ROTOWIRE

Team-high target total in loss Brown brought in six of 10 targets for 71 yards in the Commanders' 34-26 loss to the Cowboys on Sunday.

Impact Facing his original NFL squad, Brown finished as the Commanders' pace-setter in targets while co-leading the team in receptions as well. Brown's catch total was also a season high, making it quite the bounce-back effort after Brown had recorded only one catch for four yards in a Week 11 loss to the Eagles. Brown has at least six targets in four of his last five contests, giving him a solid floor heading into a Week 13 home matchup against the Titans.

NOVEMBER 25 • ROTOWIRE

Held to four yards Brown caught one of four targets for four yards in a 26-18 loss to the Eagles on Thursday.

Impact Brown led Washington's wide receivers with 77 percent snap share, slightly ahead of even Terry McLaurin (71 percent), who also had a rough night against an excellent Philadelphia secondary. They'll both get a much better matchup Week 12 against the Cowboys.

NOVEMBER 15 • ROTOWIRE

Can't get going in Week 10 Brown recorded three receptions on seven targets for 33 yards in Sunday's 28-27 loss to the Steelers.

Impact The entire Commanders' offense suffered from a lack of efficiency in Sunday's loss, and that carried over into Brown's stat line as his longest catch went for just 14 yards while he also hauled in fewer than half of his targets for the first time on the campaign. While it was a down performance, he has seen at least six targets in four of Washington's last five games, which suggests he should have the chance to bounce back in Week 11 against the Eagles.

Solid performance against Giants Brown recorded five receptions on six targets for 60 yards in Sunday's 27-22 win over the Giants.

Impact Brown maintained a significant role in the Commanders' offense and has now earned at least six targets in three of his last four games. While he didn't replicate his heroics from Week 8, Brown did manage lengthy receptions of 31 and 16 yards to account for the majority of his production. Notably, he appears to be preferred as the second receiver option behind Terry McLaurin, surpassing Olamide Zaccheaus for the time being.

Commanders laud intern for grabbing Hail Mary ball: 'My instincts just kicked in'

Catches hail mary Brown caught three of six targets for 73 yards and a touchdown in an 18-15 win over the Bears on Sunday.

Impact Brown had a quiet afternoon until he caught a tipped pass for a 52-yard, game-winning TD on the final snap of the game, but there were some positive signs even before the miraculous play, namely season highs for snap share (82 percent) and route share (85 percent). He's been targeted on 21 percent of his routes this season while typically operating as Washington's No. 2 receiver, only with Olamide Zaccheaus and/or Dyami Brown poaching a bunch of routes and snap each week. If the added playing time wasn't just a one-week blip, Brown could emerge as a low-end fantasy starter in the second half of the season, starting with a Week 9 road game against the Giants.

Targeted once in win Brown caught his only target for 16 yards in Sunday's 40-7 win over the Panthers.

Impact Brown's one target and one catch in Week 7 were both season lows in the five games he's played so far in 2024. The 28-year-old wideout played the second-most wide receiver snaps (42) in the contest, just behind Terry McLaurin (49). Brown has continued to see his role grow throughout the early part of the season, and its possible that he could eventually be considered a weekly starter for fantasy if he can make the most of his opportunities in Washington's passing attack. It may be difficult to take a step forward in Week 8, however, as the Commanders could be without rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels (ribs) when they square off against the Bears.

Upgrades to full practice Brown (groin) was a full practice participant Thursday.

Impact Brown missed Week 5 with the groin injury but then returned for Sunday's 30-23 loss to Baltimore and caught four of his team-high eight targets for 58 yards. He handled 66 percent snap share and 66 percent route share -- right around his season norms, and a good estimate of what to expect this Sunday against Carolina. Brown has caught either three or four passes in each of his four appearances for Washington, but last week was his first time drawing more than four targets in a game.

OCTOBER 17 • ROTOWIRE

Still limited by groin injury Brown (groin) was limited at Wednesday's practice.

Impact Brown continues to operate with a cap on his practice reps due to the groin injury that sidelined him Week 5, but the issue didn't stop him from suiting up this past Sunday in Baltimore, where he gathered in four of eight targets for 58 yards. He'll have two more chances to get back to full this week before the Commanders potentially tag him with a designation ahead of Sunday's game versus the Panthers.

OCTOBER 16 • ROTOWIRE

Draws season-high eight targets Brown caught four of eight targets for 58 yards in a 30-23 loss at Baltimore on Sunday.

Impact Brown returned to his role as the No. 2 receiver after missing Week 5 with a groin injury. His 66 percent route share was third best on the team, behind only WR Terry McLaurin (79 percent) and TE Zach Ertz (76 percent), and Brown led the team in both targets and air yards (101). While Brown doesn't get quite as many snaps/routes as a typical starter, he's been targeted at a surprisingly high rate this year, seeing the ball on 25 percent of his routes and accounting for 24 percent of Washington's air yards in his active games. A favorable Week 7 matchup against the Panthers makes Brown a reasonable lineup option for deep-ish leagues and DFS contests.

OCTOBER 15 • ROTOWIRE

Returning to face Baltimore Brown (groin) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game in Baltimore, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.

Impact Brown emerged as Washington's No. 2 receiver prior to missing Week 5 with a groin injury, catching exactly three passes in each game Weeks 2-4. It's not likely to be a high-volume role, but the Commanders may be inclined to pass more than usual this weekend, facing a tough Baltimore run defense with RB Brian Robinson (knee) in danger of missing the game. Even so, Brown's volume is hard to project due to the possibility of sharing playing time with Olamide Zaccheaus and/or Dyami Brown.
