Overview
- The Raiders added veteran wide receiver Noah Brown to their active roster and created the roster spot by releasing defensive tackle Benito Jones.
- Las Vegas expects Brown to provide experienced depth, physical blocking and special-teams help rather than serve as a primary target in the passing game.
- Brown has a nine-season NFL career that began as a seventh-round pick out of Ohio State and includes 155 catches for 2,083 yards and six touchdowns.
- His last two seasons were with Washington, where injuries forced him to miss 19 games even though he totaled 40 catches for 536 yards and one touchdown there.
- The signing gives the Raiders more veteran size and versatility at receiver and should be watched for its effect on special-teams personnel and the depth chart rather than on target distribution.
