What happened to Noah Brown?
The Washington Commanders are facing a significant setback as wide receiver Noah Brown is expected to miss several weeks due to a kidney injury sustained during their Week 13 victory over the Tennessee Titans. He might possibly miss the remainder of the season. The injury, initially thought to be a rib issue, was sustained during the team’s Week 13 victory over the Tennessee Titans. Head coach Dan Quinn described the injury as a “significant internal injury.” The coach noted that it’s likely Brown will be placed on injured reserve.
Brown quickly established himself as the Commanders’ reliable No. 2 receiver behind Terry McLaurin this season. He recorded 35 receptions, as well as averaging an impressive 12.9 yards per catch.
Teammates, including quarterback Jayden Daniels and wide receiver Olamide Zaccheaus, expressed their support towards Brown. Zaccheaus said, “He’s been a huge part of this offense and a huge addition to the offense. Making plays, just a consistent player and we’re just praying for him, for a speedy recovery. We know he’s going to be missed. At the same time, we know we’ve got to step up as a unit. Not just one person, but everybody.” (WUSA 9)
In response to Brown’s injury, the Commanders claimed veteran wideout K.J. Osborn off waivers from the New England Patriots to boost their receiving roster. As Washington prepares to face the New Orleans Saints, the team is hopeful that Osborn and other players can help maintain their playoff push. However, Washington received positive news with cornerback Marshon Lattimore returning to full practice.
