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.

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.
Brown is expected to miss several weeks (and possibly the rest of the season) due to a kidney injury, Ben Standig of The Athletic reports. It initially was reported as a rib injury when Brown exited Washington's Week 13 win over the Titans. Coming out of a Week 14 bye, coach Dan Quinn revealed Wednesday that Brown is in danger of missing the rest of the season due to an internal injury. We now know it's a kidney injury -- likely 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 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 exited 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 will likely 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.
Brown suffered a rib injury during Sunday's game against the Titans, Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post reports. At the time of his exit late in the third quarter, Brown had gathered in three of four targets for 27 yards. For as long as Brown is sidelined, Olamide Zaccheaus, Dyami Brown and Luke McCaffrey will be the candidates for WR reps alongside top option Terry McLaurin.
Brown (knee) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Titans, Ralph Vacchiano of Fox Sports reports. Brown didn't practice Thursday but returned to full participation Friday to avoid an injury designation. He has established himself as the No. 2 wide receiver for Washington in recent weeks, drawing 29 targets over the past five games.
Brown was listed as a non-participant on Thursday's practice report due to a knee issue. The Commanders added Brown to the injury report midweek, so the situation will be one to monitor as the weekend approaches to see if he may be in danger of sitting out Sunday versus the Titans, especially with the team's Week 14 bye on the horizon. Over the last seven games, he's surpassed 50 receiving yards on four occasions en route to a 23-315-1 line on 42 targets during that stretch.
Brown brought in six of 10 targets for 71 yards in the Commanders' 34-26 loss to the Cowboys on Sunday. Facing his original NFL squad, Brown finished as the Commanders' pace-setter in targets while co-leading the team in receptions as well. Brown's catch total was also a season high, making it quite the bounce-back effort after Brown had recorded only one catch for four yards in a Week 11 loss to the Eagles. Brown has at least six targets in four of his last five contests, giving him a solid floor heading into a Week 13 home matchup against the Titans.
Brown caught one of four targets for four yards in a 26-18 loss to the Eagles on Thursday. Brown led Washington's wide receivers with 77 percent snap share, slightly ahead of even Terry McLaurin (71 percent), who also had a rough night against an excellent Philadelphia secondary. They'll both get a much better matchup Week 12 against the Cowboys.
Brown recorded three receptions on seven targets for 33 yards in Sunday's 28-27 loss to the Steelers. The entire Commanders' offense suffered from a lack of efficiency in Sunday's loss, and that carried over into Brown's stat line as his longest catch went for just 14 yards while he also hauled in fewer than half of his targets for the first time on the campaign. While it was a down performance, he has seen at least six targets in four of Washington's last five games, which suggests he should have the chance to bounce back in Week 11 against the Eagles.
