The Commanders signed Brooks to the practice squad Wednesday, Zach Selby of the team's official site reports.
The 6-foot-5 undrafted rookie wideout out of Louisville was unable to crack the Commanders' 53-man roster after logging 10 catches (on 14 targets) for 90 yards across three preseason games. Brooks will stay in Washington as a member of the team's practice squad and could be elevated to the active roster if the Commanders need to add depth to their wide receiver corps.

Ja'Corey Brooks: Intends to sign with Washington
Rotowire
Brooks is slated to sign with the Commanders as an undrafted free agent, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.
Brooks transferred to Louisville in 2024 after spending the first three years of his college career with Alabama. He served mostly as an outside receiver while catching passes from Saints second-round pick Tyler Shough, with the duo connecting for 61 catches, 1,013 yards and nine touchdowns in 2024. Brooks will look to use his 6-foot-5 frame and contested catch ability to stand out from the competition during the Commanders' OTAs and minicamp.
