The Washington Commanders have placed wide receiver Noah Brown on injured reserve due to a groin injury, just four games into the season. This setback comes after Brown had been practicing and seemed ready to return, but his groin injury has forced the team to re-evaluate their strategy. With Brown out, the offense loses a potential playmaker who caught three passes for 36 yards in the first two games. Last season, Brown was a key contributor, catching 35 passes for 453 yards and one touchdown, and drawing six defensive pass interference penalties, ranking second in the NFL. The team's decision to wait until the last moment to place Brown on injured reserve was a strategic move, anticipating a return within four weeks. However, it seems that the injury didn't respond as expected, and the team is now focusing on getting him back to full health. Meanwhile, the Commanders are also dealing with injuries to other wide receivers, including Terry McLaurin, who has missed three games with a quad injury, and Treylon Burks, who is visiting the team after being released by the Tennessee Titans due to a collarbone fracture and a torn ACL.
