Noah Brown

Noah Brown (groin/knee) took part in Thursday's practice in a full fashion.

Fantasy Impact

Brown was recently designated to return from injured reserve and has been a full participant at both of Washington's practices so far this week. That's a good sign that he will be fully cleared to play in Week 14, but we won't know his status with certainty until after practice on Friday.

Washington will not have Noah Brown available for Sunday night's matchup against the Broncos, as the wideout has been ruled out due to ongoing groin and knee issues. Although the Commanders officially opened his 21-day practice window this week, giving him a path to return, he is not yet ready to be activated to the 53-man roster.

Despite Brown's continued absence, the Commanders' receiving corps will get a significant boost with the expected return of Terry McLaurin from a quad injury. McLaurin is set to rejoin a rotation that features Deebo Samuel, Treylon Burks, and Jaylin Lane as the primary options in the passing game against Denver.

Commanders coach Dan Quinn said Noah Brown will practice this week.

Brown was designated to return from IR on Tuesday. It is unclear if practicing will be enough to get him activated in time for Week 13.

The Commanders designated WR Noah Brown for return.

Fantasy Impact

Brown will have his 21-day practice window opened. He can be activated at any point in that span.

Noah Brown (groin/knee) has been placed on injured reserve, knocking him out for the next four games at least.

Fantasy Impact

Brown has been struggling to recover from a couple of different injuries lately. The team has made the decision to place him on injured reserve, which means that he will be sidelined for at least the next four games, if not longer. His extended absence will open the door for Jaylin Lane and Luke McCaffrey to see more work in Washington's passing game.
