Noah Brown - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

Finishing season on IR The Commanders placed Brown (rib) on injured reserve Tuesday.

Impact Brown had previously missed 10 straight games earlier this season while he was on IR due to groin and knee issues, but he was cleared to return to action in Week 14. He lasted just two games before succumbing to another injury, as the Commanders are opting to shut him down for good after he exited Sunday's 29-21 win over the Giants due to a rib issue. The 29-year-old wideout will wrap up his second season in Washington with a 5-83-0 receiving line on 10 targets over just four appearances.

Ruled out with rib injury Brown won't return to Sunday's game at the Giants due to a rib injury.

Impact When Brown exited in the first half, the Commanders listed him with a back issue, which since has been reclassified to a different health concern. With Brown out for the rest of Week 15, Treylon Burks and Jaylin Lane will be the tertiary wide receivers in Washington's offense behind top options Terry McLaurin and Deebo Samuel.

Exits Sunday's game Brown was forced out of Sunday's game against the Giants with a back injury.

Impact Prior to his exit, Brown caught his only target for 28 yards. In his absence, Terry McLaurin, Deebo Samuel, Treylon Burks and Jaylin Lane are available to handle the Commanders' WR duties.

One catch in return Brown caught one of two targets for 19 yards in Sunday's 31-0 loss to the Vikings.

Impact Seeing his first action since Week 2 after recovering from multiple lower-body injuries, Brown didn't see much volume with both Terry McLaurin and Deebo Samuel also healthy ahead of him on the depth chart. The Commanders' QB situation is also unsettled, with Jayden Daniels lasting a little over three quarters in his own return from a dislocated left elbow, but if Marcus Mariota is back under center in Week 15 against the Giants instead, Brown still figures to be a secondary option at best.

Has Week 14 designation removed After the Commanders activated Brown (groin/knee) from injured reserve Saturday, they removed his designation for Sunday's game in Minnesota.

Impact Brown now is available for his first game action since Week 2 after recovering from dueling groin and knee injuries. He'll be working with QB Jayden Daniels (left elbow), who will be back for the first time since Week 9, but the presence of fellow WRs Terry McLaurin and Deebo Samuel will make targets tougher to come by for Brown. In 13 regular-season appearances with Washington over the last two campaigns, Brown gathered in 38 of 63 targets for 489 yards and one touchdown.

Comes off IR, still questionable The Commanders activated Brown (groin/knee) from injured reserve Saturday, but he remains questionable for Sunday's game in Minnesota.

Impact Brown thus is poised for his first action since Week 2, as he seeks to put an end to a 10-game absence due to groin and knee injuries. The Commanders are turning back to second-year QB Jayden Daniels after he completed his recovery from a dislocated left elbow, so the passing game is as close to 100 percent as it has been since the very early stages of the campaign. Brown will be operating behind the top WR duo of Terry McLaurin and Deebo Samuel on Sunday, assuming he's active about 90 minutes before a 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff.

Questionable but still on IR Brown (groin/knee/rest) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Vikings, John Keim of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Brown practiced without limitations Wednesday and Thursday but didn't practice Friday, though Friday's absence appears to have been for rest purposes. He will need to be officially activated from injured reserve prior to Sunday's game in order to suit up, but Keim expects that transaction to take place Saturday, which would pave the way for Brown to suit up for the first time since Week 2.

Another full practice Brown (groin/knee) was a full practice participant Thursday.

Impact With back-to-back uncapped sessions now under his belt this week, Brown seems to be closing in on his first game action since Week 2, but he'll still need to avoid being ruled out on Friday's injury report and also be activated from injured reserve by Saturday afternoon to have a chance to play Sunday at Minnesota.

DECEMBER 4, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Full practice Wednesday Brown (groin/knee) practiced in full Wednesday.

Impact Brown now has logged two full listings, one limited and one DNP since the Commanders designated him for return from injured reserve last week. Coach Dan Quinn spoke on Brown's ability to return for Sunday's game at Minnesota, telling Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post it's "very much in the green. High." Brown hasn't played since Week 2 due to dueling groin and knee injuries, so it remains to be seen what kind of workload he'll be able to handle once he gains clearance to play again.

Ruled out for Week 13 Brown (groin/knee) has been ruled out for Sunday night's game against the Broncos, Zach Selby of the Commanders' official site reports.

Impact Brown had his 21-day practice window opened this week but will remain on injured reserve at least through Week 13. With Terry McLaurin due back from his quadriceps injury, he'll join Deebo Samuel, Treylon Burks (finger), Jaylin Lane (hip) and Chris Moore as options at wide receiver for Washington against Denver.

Full listing Thursday Brown (groin/knee) was listed as full on Thursday's injury report.

Impact One day removed from being limited after his practice window opened earlier this week, Brown already is back to all listed activity, but it remains to be seen if the Commanders will activate him from injured reserve ahead of Sunday's game against the Broncos. Such a transaction will need to occur by Saturday afternoon, assuming the team doesn't rule him out on Friday's practice report.

Limited in return to practice Brown (groin/knee) was a limited participant in practice Wednesday.

Impact The Commanders opened Brown's 21-day window to practice while still being on injured reserve. It's unclear at this point if he has a chance to play Sunday against the Broncos. If so, he could be the No. 2 or 3 wide receiver, depending on the health of Terry McLaurin (quad). Brown hasn't played since Week 2.

Jayden Daniels returns to practice with the Commanders but is unlikely to face the Broncos

NOVEMBER 24, 2025 • Associated Press

Practice window opens The Commanders announced Monday that Brown (groin/knee) has been designated to return to practice from IR.

Impact Brown hasn't played since Week 2 due to groin and knee injuries, though Washington didn't actually place him on IR until mid-October. Once fully healthy, Brown will have an opportunity to reclaim his role as the No. 3 receiver behind Terry McLaurin (quadriceps) and Deebo Samuel, though it's worth noting the former hasn't suited up since Week 8 himself. If Brown is able to hit the ground running at practice, it's possible he could be fully cleared in time to suit up Sunday versus the Broncos, a contest that will feature Marcus Mariota under center if Jayden Daniels (elbow) remains sidelined.
