The Washington Commanders have been hit hard with injuries in 2025. In the second week of the season, the Commanders lost defensive lineman Deatrich Wise Jr. for the season with a quad injury that required surgery. They also lost Austin Ekeler in the same game, also for the season, with an Achilles injury. Jonathan Jones was sent to IR after that game as well, although he might return before the season ends.
To top it off, Terry McLaurin has missed half of the games this season, which doubled the number of games he’s missed in his entire career. Deebo Samuel is nursing an injury, although he was able to play some against the Chicago Bears this week, and Jayden Daniels missed time with a sprained knee. But they’re not done yet. Now, the Commanders are placing Noah Brown on injured reserve with a groin injury.
Brown ended the 2024 season on injured reserve. He injured his knee in June of this year and missed all of training camp while rehabbing that injury. He suffered his most recent injury during the Week 2 game against the Packers, and the Commanders finally placed him on IR on Wednesday.
In 2025, Brown has two receptions on seven targets for 36 yards in two games. His impact has been minimal, at best, but his injury makes another cut into the depth at wide receiver. To aid that, the Commanders are hosting former Tennessee Titans’ wide receiver Treylon Burks for a visit on Wednesday. Whether the Commanders bring him on board or not remains to be seen, but the receiving corps is slowly dwindling in Washington.
Washington hopes to have McLaurin back for Week 7 against the Dallas Cowboys.
