Lands with Washington The Commanders are signing Brown (shoulder) to a contract Wednesday, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Brown was caught up in Houston's roster cuts Tuesday, and he now gets a landing spot where he'll have a chance to meaningfully contribute. The 28-year-old is coming off back-to-back seasons of over 550 receiving yards, with the Cowboys in 2022 and Texans in 2023, and Washington has a real need for reliable contributors behind Terry McLaurin and Olamide Zaccheaus, though rookie third-round pick Luke McCaffrey could also be an option to mix in. Brown missed time in training camp with a shoulder injury after undergoing offseason labrum surgery, but it looks like the Commanders expect him to be available Week 1 against Tampa Bay.

Cut loose by Houston The Texans are releasing Brown (shoulder) on Tuesday, Jonathan M. Alexander of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Impact Brown may be the first player to get released for non-salary reasons a year after producing back-to-back 150-yard receiving games. He hasn't done a whole lot else in his career though, and the Texans have one of the deepest WR group in the league. It didn't help that Brown had offseason surgery to repair a torn labrum and then missed time in training camp with another shoulder injury. The 28-year-old will become a free agent just five and a half months after signing a one-year, $4 million contract that included $3 million guaranteed.

Cut loose by Houston The Texans are releasing Brown (shoulder) on Tuesday, Jonathan M. Alexander of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Impact Brown may be the first player to get released for non-salary reasons a year after producing back-to-back 150-yard receiving games. The catch is that he hasn't done a whole lot else in his career and was stuck on a roster with the deepest WR group in the league. It didn't help that Brown had offseason surgery to repair a torn labrum and then missed time in training camp with a shoulder injury. The 28-year-old will now become a free agent just five and a half months after signing a one-year, $4 million contract that included $3 million guaranteed.

Sits out of practice Brown (shoulder) missed practice Thursday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Impact The wide receiver has been out since early August with the injury, including missing Houston's preseason game against the Steelers on Aug. 9. Brown recorded a career-high 567 receiving yards in 2023 and is competing for the fourth wide receiver spot behind Stefon Diggs, Tank Dell and Nico Collins.

AUGUST 15 • ROTOWIRE

Expected to miss Friday Brown (shoulder) is expected to miss Friday's preseason game against the Steelers, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Impact Brown's strained shoulder will keep him out through Houston's preseason opener, although it was reported that he's close to returning to the field. The 6-foot-2 wide receiver will likely return to practice Monday, looking to compete for the fourth wide receiver spot against Robert Woods, John Metchie and Ben Skowronek.

AUGUST 9 • ROTOWIRE

Nearing return from shoulder injury Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston relayed Wednesday that Brown is close to returning from a strained shoulder injury that has kept him out of practice since last week.

Impact It's not clear whether it's the same shoulder that Brown sustained a torn labrum injury in the Houston's wild-card win over Cleveland in January. However, it seems likely that the Texans will take the cautious route and keep the 28-year-old out of the preseason opener against the Steelers on Friday. Brown is coming off a career-high 567 receiving yards in just 10 regular-season games in 2023, and once he's returned to practice, he'll compete with Robert Woods, John Metchie and Ben Skowronek for the fourth wide receiver spot behind Stefon Diggs (undisclosed), Nico Collins and Tank Dell.

Wearing red shirt Brown did not practice Tuesday and was wearing a red shirt, Aaron Wilson of KPRC2 Houston reports.

Impact It's not clear what prompted Brown to be wearing the non-contact shirt, but it indicates he won't suit up for Thursday's Hall of Fame Game against the Bears. Brown is the mix for the fourth wideout, competing with Xavier Hutchinson, John Metchie, Ben Skowronek and Robert Woods.

Gets green light for camp Brown (shoulder) doesn't have an injury designation and has been fully cleared for the start of training camp Thursday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Impact Brown missed the Texans' divisional-round playoff loss to the Ravens in January with a shoulder injury and eventually required offseason surgery to repair a torn labrum. The wideout has completed the recovery process and looks like he'll enter camp without any restrictions. Though staying healthy proved difficult for Brown, he was a productive secondary target in the Houston passing attack when available in 2023, finishing the regular season with 33 catches for 567 yards and two touchdowns on 55 targets over 10 games.

Ruled out of Saturday's game Brown (shoulder) won't return to Saturday's wild-card game versus the Browns.

Impact Brown was targeted once on a deep ball from quarterback C.J. Stroud on the Texans' first drive of the contest that he broke up to avoid an interception. In the process, Brown sustained a shoulder injury that won't allow any more game action Saturday. Stroud thus will turn to Nico Collins, Robert Woods, John Metchie and Xavier Hutchinson at wide receiver for the rest of the team's playoff opener.

Noah Brown Questionable To Return vs. Browns With Injury Houston Texans Receiver Noah Brown missed last week’s victory over the Colts with a back injury, and has now exited vs. the Cleveland Browns...

Suiting up in wild-card round Brown (back) is listed as active for Saturday's wild-card game against the Browns.

Impact Brown, who was deemed a non-participant both Tuesday and Wednesday, was able to log a limited practice Thursday before being listed as questionable for the contest. With Brown back in action after missing the Texans' playoff-clinching win over the Colts in Week 18, he'll provide the team's passing attack with valuable depth alongside fellow wideouts Nico Collins and Robert Woods (hip). Prior to missing last Sunday's game against Indianapolis, Brown recorded a 33-567-2 line on 55 targets over the course of 10 outings.

Absent from Tuesday's practice Brown (back) isn't participating in Tuesday's practice, DJ Bien-Aime of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Brown and fellow wideout Robert Woods (hip) were both absent from the Texans' first practice of the week after the two were sidelined for this past Saturday's 23-19 win over the Colts. Both receivers will have two more opportunities to mix into drills before the Texans potentially give either player a designation for this Saturday's wild-card game against the Browns. While Brown and Woods were sidelined in Week 18, John Metchie (one catch for five yards on two targets) and Xavier Hutchison (one catch for six yards on four targets) settled into top-three roles at receiver, but neither came through with a useful fantasy line.
