"Nobody needs to tell Washington Commanders fans that their fortunes this season have been significantly hindered by injuries. It's been one problem after another for head coach Dan Quinn to navigate, and it's shown no real signs of slowing down late in the campaign. One player has suffered more than most. And his latest injury setback means the Commanders have every right to take matters into their own hands."
"It was another long road back for Brown. However, the former Ohio State standout eventually came back into the fold in Week 14 versus the Minnesota Vikings. He came through that one unscathed, but it didn't last. Brown left the game against the New York Giants relatively early. He was initially listed as questionable to return with a rib injury. But when the wideout got additional tests in the locker room, he was quickly ruled out."
"He cannot stay healthy. It's been a luckless run on the injury front, and even though the player is clearly talented, the best ability is availability in the NFL. There is no point pushing Brown too hard at this late stage, given the Commanders have nothing to play for. Just give him the correct time to heal before both parties go their separate ways when his contract expires in the spring."
Noah Brown has endured a series of health setbacks, including kidney surgery, a minicamp knee injury, an ankle complication, and a recent rib injury that forced him out of a game. Brown has repeatedly returned only to suffer new injuries, limiting his availability. The Commanders currently have no postseason stake, reducing incentive to rush his recovery. Brown's presence reduces targets for Treylon Burks and Jaylin Lane, who offer better long-term upside. The team should allow Brown time to heal and plan to part ways when his contract expires, while prioritizing younger receivers.
