Commanders Open Noah Brown’s Practice Window as Daniels Returns to Practice Without Contact Clearance

Washington turns to IR rules to evaluate late-season help for a depleted receiving group.

Overview

  • The team activated the 21-day window for Noah Brown on Nov. 24, allowing the receiver to practice and be eligible for activation at any point in that span.
  • Brown has been on injured reserve since mid-October with a groin injury and has appeared in two games this season with three catches.
  • If Brown is not moved to the 53-man roster within 21 days, he will remain on injured reserve for the rest of the season.
  • Coach Dan Quinn said Jayden Daniels will practice this week but has not been cleared for contact, with Marcus Mariota expected to start Week 13 against the Broncos.
  • Washington’s thin wideout group has been hit by extended absences, and Brown’s return doubles as an audition as the 29-year-old approaches free agency.
