• Commanders' Noah Brown: Three grabs in win

  2D ago • By RotoWire

  Brown caught all three of his targets for 56 yards in Sunday's 21-18 win over the Giants. Brown's 20 offensive snaps were the fewest of any Commander's wide receiver Sunday, however, he paced the group with 56 yards in the contest. The veteran wideout was a healthy inactive in Week 1, but his performance against the Giants could help him earn a more prominent role going forward. Brown is currently completing with Terry McLaurin, Luke McCaffrey, Dyami Brown and Olamide Zaccheaus for playing time, so he has an uphill battle to see consistent usage in Washington's passing game. The 28-year-old will have his next opportunity to prove himself in a Week 3 matchup with the Bengals.

• Commanders' Noah Brown: Could make team debut Sunday

  8D ago • By RotoWire

  Head coach Dan Quinn said Wednesday that Brown is "definitely trending in the right direction" to be active for Sunday's game against the Giants, Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post reports. Brown was a healthy inactive for the Commanders in Week 1, but that decision seems to be mostly a result of the veteran wideout needing more time to get fully acclimated to a new offensive scheme, per Ben Standig of The Athletic. Behind No. 1 receiver Terry McLaurin, there's room for Brown to carve out a notable role on offense as rookie Luke McCaffrey and veterans Olamide Zaccheaus and Dyami Brown don't represent insurmountable competition for playing time. It may take a bit more time for Brown to work up to a full snap share, though, after he didn't sign with Washington until late August.

• Commanders' Noah Brown: Healthy scratch in Week 1

  11D ago • By RotoWire

  Brown (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's Week 1 game against the Buccaneers. The veteran wideout is somewhat of a surprise healthy scratch, considering the Commanders' relative lack of proven receiver depth behind clear No. 1 target Terry McLaurin. Nevertheless, Brown's inactive status will further clear a path to additional opportunities for rookie third-round pick Luke McCaffrey and Dyami Brown behind McLaurin and No. 2 receiver Olamide Zaccheaus.

• Commanders' Noah Brown: Lands with Washington

  22D ago • By RotoWire

  Brown (shoulder) agreed to a contract with the Commanders on Wednesday, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports. Brown was among Houston's roster cuts Tuesday, but he now lands in a spot where he'll have a chance to be a more meaningful contributor. The 28-year-old is coming off consecutive seasons of over 550 receiving yards with the Cowboys in 2022 and Texans in 2023, and Washington has a real need for reliable wideouts behind Terry McLaurin, 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 the Commanders expect him to be available Week 1 against Tampa Bay.
