Commanders' Dyami Brown: Held out of preseason game

Brown didn't play in Sunday's 20-10 preseason win over New England.

Neither did Olamide Zaccheaus, who seems to be Brown's primary competition for the No. 2 receiver spot after Jahan Dotson was traded to the Eagles last week. Dotson mostly worked the slot during Washington's first two preseason games while Zaccheaus and Brown split perimeter snaps with the first-team offense. One possibility is moving Zaccheaus to the slot and keeping Brown on the perimeter, although that wouldn't necessarily give Brown all the playing time in two-wide sets. Jamison Crowder and rookie third-round pick Luke McCaffrey also could enter the mix despite not getting playing time with the starting offense this preseason. Regardless of how the snaps shake out, it'll be surprising if any of the team's WRs besides Terry McLaurin see more than a handful of targets per game.
