The Washington Commanders may have suffered a major blow to their receiving corps after a key piece in the rotation when down Wednesday. Multiple sources reported out of the team’s Wednesday practice that Noah Brown went down with an injury and had to be carted off the field.

There have been no updates on the nature of the injury at this time.

This comes just a day after Terry McLaurin’s holdout from team activities became official as he seeks out a contract extension. McLaurin will not report to mandatory minicamp which started on Tuesday and ends Thursday.

Brown 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 be a considerable blow if the injury turns into a serious matter.

The Commanders have centered their offseason on building a formidable offensive unit around Daniels. Brown’s rapport with the young quarterback was a major plus as a returning piece.

Now with Brown potentially out of action and the timetable on McLaurin’s return uncertain, there may be some growing angst around the team as they wait on a report out with further information.
