"The Washington Commanders are anxiously awaiting the progress of their injured wide receivers. This is far from ideal before a pivotal trip to the Dallas Cowboys in Week 7, so having contingency plans for every eventuality is crucial. Washington finally gave up on wide receiver Noah Brown, placing him on injured reserve. He'd been out since Week 2, but the Commanders were not suitably satisfied with his progress."
"Terry McLaurin and Deebo Samuel Sr. were both absent from the media portion of practice on Thursday. The former has missed the last three games, and his status this weekend remains unclear. The latter was touch-and-go right until kickoff in Week 6. Although he suited up, the contribution fell short of his usual standards. This leaves the Commanders with three healthy wide receivers on the active roster and four on the practice squad after the latest addition of Treylon Burks, with Tay Martin being released."
"Wide receivers coach Bobby Engram was spotted working closely with Robbie Chosen on his route-running. This was individual work between the two while others were focusing on special teams. It might be nothing, but this would be a good time to throw the former Temple star into the fire and see how he fares. The Commanders cannot call up Tay Martin again unless they add him to the 53-man roster. Ja'Corey Brooks was active last weekend but barely featured."
The Commanders placed wide receiver Noah Brown on injured reserve after unsatisfactory recovery progress following his Week 2 absence. Terry McLaurin has missed the last three games and remains uncertain for Week 7, while Deebo Samuel Sr. was touch-and-go before Week 6 and provided a limited contribution. The active roster currently contains three healthy wide receivers and the practice squad holds four after adding Treylon Burks and releasing Tay Martin. The team is likely to promote one or two receivers to the 53-man roster. Robbie Chosen received individualized route-running work from receivers coach Bobby Engram and appears positioned for potential elevation. Other options include Ja'Corey Brooks and Jacoby Jones, though both offer limited NFL experience, and Burks will require time to acclimate.
