Houston Texans wide receiver Noah Brown (shoulder) is being placed on Injured Reserve ahead of the team's Divisional Round game against the Baltimore Ravens or Kansas City Chiefs. The 28-year-old was on the injury report often this season with knee and back injuries, and he suffered a shoulder injury in the Wild Card win over the Cleveland Browns. Although Brown often played second or third-fiddle to Nico Collins and Tank Dell (leg), he delivered two games of over 150 receiving yards in 2023. Overall, Brown accumulated 33 receptions for 567 yards and two touchdowns in his first year as a Texan. He is a free agent this offseason. Moving forward, Collins, Robert Woods, John Metchie III, and Xavier Hutchinson will have to step up at wideout. Tight ends Dalton Schultz and Brevin Jordan will also be candidates to see more targets.

Houston Texans wide receiver Noah Brown (shoulder) has been downgraded to out during Saturday's playoff game against the Cleveland Browns. Brown was forced to exit during the first half of Saturday's game and officially won't return. He'll finish the night with zero receptions on one target. The Texans will now need to lean on fellow wideouts Nico Collins and Robert Woods for the rest of this contest. The team should give a better timetable on Brown's status following the game.

Houston Texans wide receiver Noah Brown (shoulder) is currently listed as questionable to return to Saturday's playoff matchup against the Cleveland Browns. This is a tough break for the Texans as Brown suffered a shoulder injury during the first quarter of this contest. The team will obviously further evaluate the severity of the issue before deciding if Brown can return. In the meantime, Nico Collins and Robert Woods figure to have bigger roles in the passing game for the Texans.

Houston Texans wide receiver Noah Brown (back) is available for the upcoming Wild-Card matchup against the Cleveland Browns. Brown didn't practice to start the week, but was able to get in a limited session on Thursday. The Texans will be happy to have Brown back in the mix after he sat out in the regular season finale. This season, Brown recorded 33 receptions for 567 yards and two touchdowns in 10 games. He could be worth a look as a possible DFS option for this weekend.

Houston Texans wide receivers Noah Brown (back) and Robert Woods (hip) are expected to be active for Saturday's wild-card playoff contest versus the Cleveland Browns despite being listed as questionable on Thursday's final injury report, according to a league source. As long as pre-game warmups go smoothly, the Texans should have both Brown and Woods available. That would be good news for rookie quarterback C.J. Stroud, who faces a tough matchup against a Browns defense that is one of the best in the league. In his first year with the Texans, Brown caught 33 passes for 567 yards and two touchdowns, while Woods had 40 catches, 426 yards and one touchdown. Nico Collins is Houston's clear No. 1 wideout, and Brown and Woods are both risky low-cost DFS dart throws in a bad matchup after sitting out the Week 18 regular season finale.
