Commanders still haven't come to the Noah Brown realization that they need to

"The Washington Commanders are getting ready to welcome back some key figures who've been on long-term absences. Their bye week allowed them to heal, and head coach Dan Quinn could use any help he can get right now with his team at 3-8 and staring down the barrel of a lost campaign. One of those is Noah Brown. The wide receiver hasn't been seen since Week 2 with groin and knee problems."

"The Commanders have no choice other than to get Brown involved. They are crying out for consistency, and he's earned the trust of Washington's coaching staff. Even so, it won't be much longer before those in power must come to a harsh realization. Playing Brown will suffice for now. However, the Commanders cannot depend upon him beyond the current campaign. Health problems have made Brown unavailable more often than not over the last year."

The Commanders enter the stretch run at 3-8 and used their bye week to address injuries. Noah Brown, sidelined since Week 2 with groin and knee issues and placed on injured reserve after stalled rehab progress, returned to practice and appears likely to be activated for Sunday Night Football against the Denver Broncos. Terry McLaurin and Treylon Burks are also expected to play, giving Marcus Mariota a deeper receiving group. Persistent health setbacks make Brown unreliable as a long-term option, and the front office may prioritize younger, faster targets like Burks when making roster and contract decisions.
