The Washington Commanders at one time were thought to have suffered a major blow to their receiving corps after a key piece in the rotation went down during minicamp.
Multiple outlets reported out of the team's recent practice that Noah Brown went down with an injury and had to be carted off the field.
There have been no official updates on the nature of the injury at this time.
But …
John Keim from ESPN has revealed that he is of the understanding that Brown's injury isn't of a serious nature.
This injury came on the heels of Terry McLaurin's holdout from team activities becoming official as he seeks out a contract extension.
McLaurin did not report to mandatory minicamp.
Brown - labeled by coach Dan Quinn a “dog-ass competitor” - caught 35 passes for 453 yards last season, the most notable of which came in the Commanders' stunning Hail Mary victory over the Chicago Bears. He spent five of his previous six seasons with the Dallas Cowboys before signing with the Houston Texans in 2023.
Washington has pieced together notable wide receiver depth through the offseason. The team drafted Jaylin Lane in the fourth round after adding Deebo Samuel through trade in March and signing veterans Michael Gallup and K.J. Osborn.
However, Brown's loss would’ve been a considerable blow if the injury turned out to be a serious matter.
The Commanders have centered their offseason on building a formidable offensive unit around Jayden Daniels. Brown's rapport with the young quarterback was a major plus as a returning piece. … and soon enough apparently will be again.
