Commanders' Noah Brown: Placed on injured reserve

Brown (kidney) was placed on injured reserve Saturday, Ben Standig of The Athletic reports.

This was purely a transactional move, as Brown is expected to miss multiple weeks after suffering a kidney injury back in Week 13. The Commanders activated Jamison Crowder (calf) off injured reserve, but expect Dyami Brown and Olamide Zaccheaus to get first crack at filling the role opposite Terry McLaurin in the team's passing attack.
