Commanders coach Dan Quinn said Saturday that Brown (groin/knee) is ruled out for Monday's matchup against the Bears, Tashan Reed of The Washington Post reports.
Brown will miss a fourth consecutive game due to lingering groin and knee injuries, despite having returned to practice as a limited participant to begin Week 6. Both he and Terry McLaurin (quadriceps) will be unavailable versus Chicago on Monday, making Washington's road matchup against the Cowboys on Sunday, Oct. 19 in Week 7 their next opportunity to retake the field. With Brown and McLaurin ruled out and Deebo Samuel (heel) having played through an injury last week, depth wideouts Luke McCaffrey, Jaylin Lane and Chris Moore will be tasked with stepping up versus the Bears.

Commanders' Noah Brown: Limited in practice Thursday
Rotowire
Brown (groin/knee) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.
Head coach Dan Quinn clarified that Brown's absence, which dates back to Week 2 against the Packers, has been related primarily to his groin injury rather than the knee injury that bothered Brown during camp, per John Keim of ESPN.com. Brown seems to be a step ahead in his recovery compared to Terry McLaurin (quadriceps), who was listed as a non-participant Thursday. Both receivers are hoping to return from multi-week absences Monday against the Bears.

Commanders' Noah Brown: Back at practice
Rotowire
Commanders coach Dan Quinn said Wednesday that Brown (groin/knee) will participate in practice, Tashan Reed of The Washington Post reports.
Brown will resume practicing Wednesday but Terry McLaurin (quadriceps) will not, per Quinn. A pair of injuries has kept Brown sidelined for three consecutive games, but he appears to be trending in the right direction for Monday's home matchup against the Bears. When active for Washington's first two games of the season, Brown handled just under 50 percent of offensive snaps and tallied a combined three catches for 36 yards on seven targets.

Brown hasn't practiced since he was injured 14 days ago in the Commanders' Week 2 game against the Packers. If Brown and Terry McLaurin (quadriceps) are unable to go Sunday against the Falcons, Deebo Samuel, Luke McCaffrey, Jaylin Lane and Chris Moore will handle wideout duties for Washington.

Brown sat out Week 3, and he hasn't practiced in any capacity since having been forced out early versus the Packers on Thursday Night Football in Week 2. If Brown is unable to gain clearance in time for Sunday's matchup against the Falcons, Luke McCaffrey, Jaylin Lane and Chris Moore will all be candidates for expanded offensive opportunities, especially with Terry McLaurin (quadriceps) also dealing with an injury.

Commanders' Noah Brown: Cleared for TNF
Rotowire
Brown (knee/rest) does not carry an injury designation for Thursday's road matchup against the Packers.
Brown didn't practice Wednesday after having been listed as limited on Washington's walk-through practice reports Monday and Tuesday, but the team simply appears to be following the same maintenance protocol that was required for the No. 3 receiver to suit up Week 1. He was targeted three times while playing 46 percent of offensive snaps during the Commanders' regular-season opener against the Giants, securing two of those targets for 27 yards. Brown looks set for a similar workload versus Green Bay, contributing at wide receiver behind top options Terry McLaurin and Deebo Samuel.

Commanders' Noah Brown: Limited on practice estimate
Rotowire
The Commanders listed Brown (knee) as a limited participant on Tuesday's practice estimate.
Washington is facing a quick turnaround after Sunday's 21-6 win over the Giants, so the team is unlikely to do much on-field work ahead of a Thursday night matchup against the Packers. Brown has been estimated as a limited participant on the Commanders' first two reports of the week, but he still stands a good chance of playing. In the Commanders' season-opening win, Brown started and played 33 of the team's 70 snaps on offense en route to a 2-27-0 receiving line on three targets.

Commanders' Noah Brown: Remains limited Thursday

Brown (knee) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.
Brown has been limited in both of the Commanders' first two Week 1 sessions, so he may need to upgrade to full participation Friday to avoid carrying a designation into Sunday's game against the Giants.

Commanders' Noah Brown: Limited in practice
Rotowire
Brown (knee) was limited in practice Wednesday, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.
Brown picked up an injury during June minicamp, and despite opening training camp as a full participant, he was held off the practice field late August. It's encouraging for Brown's odds of playing Week 1 to now see him back on the field, though he'll have only two more chances to upgrade to full participation ahead of Sunday's regular-season opener against the Giants.

Commanders' Noah Brown: Not playing Monday
Rotowire
Brown isn't suiting up for Monday's preseason game versus the Bengals, Zach Selby of the Commanders' official site reports.
Brown was carted off the field during mandatory minicamp in June due to an undisclosed injury and then was eased into training camp before returning to practice without restrictions July 28. He'll miss a second consecutive exhibition, leaving him just one more chance for game action ahead of Week 1, in Saturday's preseason clash with the Ravens. Brown is coming off an injury-shortened 2024 campaign in which he tallied a 35-453-1 line on 56 targets over 11 regular-season games.

Brown (undisclosed) is practicing at training camp, Zach Selby of the Commanders' official site reports.
Brown was eased into training camp after suffering an unspecified injury at June minicamp.

Commanders' Noah Brown: Easing into camp
Rotowire
Brown (undisclosed) avoided the PUP list for the start of training camp but may not be a full participant early on, according to independent NFL writer Ben Standig.
Brown was carted off the field June 11 at a minicamp practice. He was scheduled for an MRI, but the Commanders went on summer break right after and never provided any update on the nature or extent of Brown's injury. It sounds like he's on track for Week 1, with time to make his case this summer for the No. 3 WR role behind Terry McLaurin (who is holding out for a new contract) and Deebo Samuel.

Commanders' Noah Brown: Placed on injured reserve
Rotowire
Brown (kidney) was placed on injured reserve Saturday, Ben Standig of The Athletic reports.
This was purely a transactional move, as Brown is expected to miss multiple weeks after suffering a kidney injury back in Week 13. The Commanders activated Jamison Crowder (calf) off injured reserve, but expect Dyami Brown and Olamide Zaccheaus to get first crack at filling the role opposite Terry McLaurin in the team's passing attack.

Commanders' Noah Brown: Sidelined by kidney injury
Rotowire
Brown is dealing with an injury to his kidney and is expected to miss several weeks, Ben Standig of The Athletic reports.
Brown's early departure from Washington's Week 13 win over the Titans was initially attributed to a rib injury. Coming out of a Week 14 bye, head coach Dan Quinn revealed Wednesday that Brown is in danger of missing the rest of the season due to an internal injury, though he didn't go into specifics. The Commanders have now updated Brown's injury as being to his kidney -- perhaps a laceration that was caused by a cracked rib. With Brown out for at least the next few weeks, there's an opportunity for Dyami Brown, Olamide Zaccheaus and Luke McCaffrey to get more snaps alongside No. 1 receiver Terry McLaurin.

Commanders' Noah Brown: Out with potential season-ending injury
Rotowire
Commanders head coach Dan Quinn said Wednesday that Brown (rib) is "going to be out for a while" with a "significant internal injury," Sam Fortier of The Washington Post reports.
Brown left early in the Commanders' Week 13 win over the Titans with what had been listed as a rib injury, and after undergoing further testing over the team's Week 14 bye, the wideout is apparently dealing with a more severe issue than anticipated. Quinn didn't go into specifics regarding Brown's injury, though the coach noted that the 28-year-old receiver likely will be lost for the season, pending further evaluation. If that's the case, Brown's eighth professional campaign will come to an end with him having recorded 35 receptions for 453 yards and one touchdown on 56 targets over 11 games. In Brown's absence, more snaps could be available for Dyami Brown, Olamide Zaccheaus and Luke McCaffrey behind top wideout Terry McLaurin.
