Commanders' Noah Brown: Lands with Washington

Brown (shoulder) agreed to a contract with the Commanders on Wednesday, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.

Brown was among Houston's roster cuts Tuesday, but he now lands in a spot where he'll have a chance to be a more meaningful contributor. The 28-year-old is coming off consecutive seasons of over 550 receiving yards with the Cowboys in 2022 and Texans in 2023, and Washington has a real need for reliable wideouts behind Terry McLaurin, though rookie third-round pick Luke McCaffrey could also be an option to mix in. Brown missed time in training camp with a shoulder injury after undergoing offseason labrum surgery, but the Commanders expect him to be available Week 1 against Tampa Bay.
