    Raiders released WR Noah Brown.

    Brown is a 10-year veteran of the league who signed with the Raiders earlier this offseason. Injuries limited him to just four games last season, but Brown has been a serviceable receiver who has totaled 450-plus yards in three of his last four seasons. It’s possible he could catch on with another team as an added depth piece, but we wouldn’t expect Brown to pop up as a starter any time soon.

    Brown, 30, dealt with knee, groin and rib injuries last season. He profiles as a rotational player at this point in his career, but the Raiders’ wide receiver depth chart is fairly thin. He is unlikely to be fantasy-relevant, though he can help out at the team level. The Raiders correspondingly released DT Benito Jones.
  • WAS Wide Receiver #85
    Brown’s 2025 season is over. He sustained the rib injury in Week 15 against the Giants on a 28-yard reception. Brown landed hard and needed help getting to the sideline. The oft-injured veteran ends the season with five catches for 83 yards over four games. Brown had spent time on IR earlier this season with a groin injury. He’s unlikely to remain with the Commanders in 2026.
  • WAS Wide Receiver #85
    Brown caught his lone target for 28 yards before leaving with the injury. The 29-year-old had just been activated the previous week from injured reserve with a groin strain, and now could be in danger of missing further time.
  • WAS Wide Receiver #85
    Facing the Vikings, Brown will be active for the first time since Week 2. He figures to immediately slot back in as the No. 3 wideout for an offense that has been dealing with receiver injury carnage all season. Good news for Washington, especially with Jayden Daniels also returning, but it’s unlikely to make a ripple in fantasy football.
  • WAS Wide Receiver #85
    Brown will have to be activated off injured reserve before that can officially happen, but it seems a formality as he was practicing in full this week. The Commanders will finally have the passing game fully healthy against the Vikings, for what feels like the first time all season, in Week 14. Brown isn’t a fantasy play as we suss out his involvement level and if he’ll be on a snap count. The Commanders officially listed Brown as questionable to play on the injury report.
  • WAS Wide Receiver #85
    Brown managed a full practice last Thursday. The team then gave him the day off on Friday and ruled him out. That was likely part of their plan to ramp him up to speed. He should have a good chance at returning this week. With Deebo Samuel and Terry McLaurin both healthy, Brown will return to a part-time role.
  • WAS Wide Receiver #85
    Brown was full on Thursday, but did not practice on Friday with a rest designation. Zach Ertz, Terry McLaurin, and Deebo Samuel will be the only reliable Commanders fantasy options against Denver. Brown is still just in the first week of his 21-day window and it stands to reason he’ll be activated soon.
  • WAS Wide Receiver #83
    In addition to Terry McLaurin, Noah Brown and Treylon Burks were also limited today. It’s tough to say which depth options will suit up this week. With Marcus Mariota expected to make another start, it’s a situation fantasy managers don’t need to get bogged down by. Deebo Samuel is the only game in town until McLaurin returns. Zach Ertz is also in the mix as a volume-based TE1.
  • WAS Wide Receiver #85
    Brown hasn’t practiced since he suffered a severe groin injury in Week 2 against the Packers. The team opened his 21-day practice window on November 24, which means he could play as soon as this week against the Broncos. He would likely function as Washington’s WR3 and should remain on waiver wires, even in deeper formats.
  • WAS Wide Receiver #85
    Browns’ 21-day practice window has now been opened, meaning the Commanders can officially activate him off injured reserve whenever they believe he’s ready to go. Brown hasn’t played since Week 2 and has just three catches for 36 yards this season. He caught just 35 passes for 453 yards and one touchdown last season, and has little to no fantasy upside whenever he’s activated.

    Patriots brought in free agent RB Jamaal Williams for a workout.

    The Pats brought in an interesting name to work out for the backfield this week, bringing in former Packers, Lions, and Saints running back Jamaal Williams. The 31-year-old last appeared in the NFL for the Saints in 2024, tallying 164 rushing yards that season. He had a career year for the Lions in 2022, totaling 1,000 yards on the ground and leading the league in rushing touchdowns. The Patriots are looking for some depth behind Rhamondre Stevenson and TreVeyon Henderson; there is no indication Williams will sign, but he will be practice squad depth if he does.

    Giants WR Braxton Berrios (foot) announced he will need season-ending surgery.

    Berrios announced on his Instagram that he will need season-ending surgery for his foot injury that landed him on injured reserve. The 31-year-old is primarily a special teamer, returning four punts and five kicks this season. Injuries have prevented Berrios from appearing in more than 14 games over the last three seasons and he now has his season end early as he requires foot surgery.

    Broncos signed WR Cam Ross to their practice squad.

    With Pat Bryant (ankle) suffering a multi-week injury in Week 4, the Broncos are adding to their wide receiver depth by signing Ross to the practice squad. The 25-year-old Ross was an undrafted free agent out of Virginia who spent training camp with the Broncos before he was let go in final cuts. Ross now re-joins the practice squad. EDGE Jahfari Harvey was let go from the practice squad in a corresponding move.

    Cardinals signed OL Jedrick Wills off Buffalo’s practice squad.

    He’ll replace Paris Johnson, who heads to season-ending injured reserve. Wills, the former 10th overall pick in the 2020 draft, will compete with 2026 seventh-rounder Jayden Williams for reps at left tackle in Johnson’s absence.

    Buccaneers LB Josiah Trotter (knee) did not practice on Tuesday.

    It was a mid-week downgrade after a limited estimated session on Monday. Trotter’s in real danger of missing Thursday night’s game against the Cowboys.

    Buccaneers kicker Chase McLaughlin (right groin/hip) did not practice on Tuesday.

    It was an addition to the report. Never a great sign, especially on a short week. The Buccaneers aren’t carrying a practice-squad kicker, so expect some workouts as they try to find someone you won’t be starting in fantasy football with Jalon Daniels under center.

    Cardinals placed TE Hunter Long (knee) on injured reserve.

    He’ll miss at least the next four weeks. Long had played 91 snaps in his first four weeks with the Cardinals and will cede blocking duties to promoted practice-squadder Teagan Quitoriano for those of you in points-per-blocked-players leagues.

    OT Lane Johnson retired from the NFL after 14 seasons.

    We’d heard word through former Eagles EDGE Brandon Graham on a post-game show that this was on the table following Week 4, but it’s still a stunner to see it come to fruition. Johnson cites that his “personal and family priorities” have changed in his post about retiring. The stalwart Eagles right tackle made two first-team All-Pro appearances and three second teams, along with six Pro Bowls. Markel Bell started in his stead in Week 4 and should be expected to get the playing time at right tackle going forward.

    Browns designated QB Dillon Gabriel (back/IR) for return.

    His 21-day practice window will open up. There’s obviously no rush to promote him to the active roster with the Browns already dressing three quarterbacks every week, so this is probably just starting a ticking clock on a trade or cut from the quarterback room.
