Brown initially suffered an injury to his ribs that then developed into a lacerated kidney, prompting the move to injured reserve and ending his season. The team signed K.J. Osborn away from the Patriots earlier in the week but we shouldn't expect him to make an immediate impact on the offense, likely leaving Dyami Brown and Luke McCaffrey to handle secondary pass-catching duties in the near term.
Brown, per Quinn, suffered internal injuries two weeks ago against the Titans and looks to be out indefinitely. Brown has positioned himself as the Commanders' de facto WR2 behind Terry McLaurin. Brown's absence could open up more targets for McLaurin, Zach Ertz, and Dyami Brown in the run-heavy Washington offense.
Commanders WR Noah Brown is "going to be out for a while," per HC Dan Quinn. In fact, Quinn mentioned the possibility of Brown going on season-ending IR while noting a "significant internal injury." The veteran was operating as Washington s WR2, but now those snaps will go to Dyami Brown, Olamide Zaccheaus, and Luke McCaffrey. You shouldn t count on any of those WRs for Week 15 fantasy production at New Orleans. Meanwhile, Terry McLaurin's outlook improves as a fantasy WR2.
