Who Should I Start? Josh Reynolds or Noah Brown

Friday, October 24, 5:47 PM

New York Jets wide receiver Josh Reynolds (hip) is officially listed as questionable to play on Sunday in Week 8 versus the hosting Cincinnati Bengals, according to Rich Cimini of ESPN. Reynolds was supposed to be limited in Friday's practice, according to head coach Aaron Glenn, but he was unable to suit up. This is pretty concerning for an 0-7 Jets squad that already ruled out top wideout Garrett Wilson (knee) for the second straight game. If Reynolds ends up being inactive, too, the Jets would be down to Arian Smith, Allen Lazard, and Tyler Johnson as their top receivers, with veteran quarterback Tyrod Taylor (knee) presumably starting under center. Even against a very beatable Bengals defense, the Jets could be headed for a third straight game without an offensive touchdown. Reynolds led the team in targets in last week's loss to the Panthers with Wilson out, but he caught only three of his nine looks for 29 yards and no touchdowns.

The Washington Commanders announced on Wednesday that they placed wide receiver Noah Brown (groin, knee) on Injured Reserve. After already missing the team's last four games with groin and knee injuries, Brown will now be forced to miss at least four more games and will not be eligible to return until the Week 11 game on Sunday, Nov. 11, against the Miami Dolphins. Washington has also been without top wideout Terry McLaurin (quadriceps) for the last several games, leading to Deebo Samuel Sr. getting more work in the offense. With Brown now out for at least another four contests, it means that Luke McCaffrey and rookie Jaylin Lane should have a clear path to more playing time for the foreseeable future, at least until McLaurin is able to return. Brown, 29, caught three of seven targets for 36 yards and no touchdowns in the first two games of 2025 before getting hurt.
