Shifts to injured reserve Brown (groin) was placed on injured reserve Thursday, Aaron Wilson of Sportstalk 790 Houston reports.
Impact Brown was already ruled out for Sunday's matchup with Washington due to the groin injury, but he'll also be sidelined for at least two additional games. The 25-year-old will be eligible to be activated Week 17 against the Cardinals.

Out Week 14 with groin injury Head coach Mike McCarthy said Thursday that Brown is dealing with a groin injury that will sideline the receiver for Sunday's game against Washington, and possibly additional conte...
Impact Brown appeared on the Cowboys' initial Week 14 injury report Wednesday after he didn't take any reps in practice, but the team hadn't previously disclosed that the receiver was banged up at any point during last week's win over the Saints. McCarthy shed more light on the situation Thursday, and after the coach described Brown's groin issue as a "couple-week injury," the Ohio State product looks like he'll face an uphill battle to make it back for the Cowboys' Week 15 game against the Giants, too. After turning in a 6-53-0 receiving line on nine targets while playing a season-high 94 percent of the Cowboys' offensive snaps in a Thanksgiving Day loss to the Raiders, Brown predictably saw his snap share take a big step back (to 18 percent) last week following the returns of Amari Cooper (reserve/COVID-19 list) and CeeDee Lamb (concussion) to the lineup. Brown will likely be limited to a depth role within the Dallas receiving corps once he moves past his groin injury.

Two catches Thursday Brown caught two of three targets for 14 yards in Thursday's 27-17 win over the Saints.
Impact The Cowboys nearly had their full complement of wideouts available again, but with Cedrick Wilson (ankle) sidelined and Amari Cooper having a limited workload in his return from the COVID-19 list, there were still opportunities for Brown and other depth receivers to see some looks. Brown has set career highs this season with 16 catches on 25 targets for 184 yards, but he's still looking for his first NFL touchdown.

Two grabs against Pats Brown caught both of his targets for 47 yards in Sunday's overtime win over the Patriots.
Impact The yardage was a season high for Brown, who has posted a surprising 5-83-0 line on six targets over the last two games. With Michael Gallup (calf) potentially ready to come off IR after the Cowboys' Week 7 bye, however, Brown's modest role in the offense could be close to drying up.

Season-high three grabs Sunday Brown caught three of four targets for 36 yards in Sunday's win over the Giants.
Impact The 25-year-old came into Week 5 with only one catch on the year but found a bigger role Sunday as offensive coordinator Kellen Moore went deep into his playbook. Brown could have scored his first career NFL touchdown had Cedrick Wilson not underthrown him on a trick play early in the fourth quarter. Brown sees a steady snap share on offense due to his abilities as a blocker, but he's unlikely to get consistent targets, especially once Michael Gallup (calf) is back in action.

Absent Thursday Brown (coach's decision) is listed as inactive Thursday at Tampa Bay, David Helman of the Cowboys' official site reports.
Impact Brown recently spent a spell on the reserve/COVID-19 list after testing positive for the virus, so the missed time may have contributed to his absence. The Cowboys instead will have rookie fifth-round pick Simi Fehoko on hand as their fifth wide receiver.

Off COVID-19 list The Cowboys activated Brown (illness) from the reserve/COVID-19 list Wednesday.
Impact On Tuesday, coach Mike McCarthy told Clarence E. Hill Jr. of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram that of the Cowboys on the COVID list, guard Brandon Knight (undisclosed) had the best odds to suit up Thursday at Tampa Bay. However, Knight and Zack Martin (illness) remain on the list, while Brown now will have a chance to suit up in the season opener. Brown is buried on the wide receiver depth chart and doesn't have utility as a returner, meaning McCarthy may opt to include Brown on the inactive list Thursday.

Impact Brown caught 14 passes for 154 yards in 16 games last season, but he will miss at least the first week of the 2021 season. It's unknown if he was vaccinated or not, which significantly affects the amount of time he is forced to be away from the team. After the early Thursday game, Brown will have 10 days to clear protocols before the Cowboys' Week 2 contest against the Chargers.
