The Washington Commanders have placed wide receiver Noah Brown on injured reserve due to a groin injury, just four games into the season. This setback comes after Brown initially injured his groin in a Week 2 loss to the Green Bay Packers and had been practicing towards a potential return. However, he did not practice on Saturday, leading to his placement on IR. Coach Dan Quinn explained that Brown's injury didn't respond as expected, despite initial hopes for a quick recovery. This is a significant loss for the team, as Brown had shown promise in his first two games, catching three passes for 36 yards. Last season, he was a key contributor, catching 35 passes for 453 yards and one touchdown, and drawing six defensive pass interference penalties, ranking second in the NFL. The Commanders are now looking to fill the void left by Brown's absence, with the potential addition of receiver Treylon Burks, who was released by the Tennessee Titans on October 7th after fracturing his collarbone and tearing his ACL during the 2024 season.
