Who Should I Start? Noah Brown or Dontayvion Wicks

Monday, August 4, 10:47 AM

Washington Commanders wide receiver Noah Brown (undisclosed) did not practice on Monday. Brown suffered an injury during mandatory minicamp in June but has been practicing throughout training camp. As of now, there is no explanation for Brown's absence on Monday. Brown caught 35 passes for 453 yards and one touchdown for Washington in 2024 and could see a larger role in the team's offense this season if the Commanders decide to fulfill Terry McLaurin's trade demand from last week. Stay tuned as the team is likely to elaborate on Brown's absence from practice later in the day on Monday.

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Dontayvion Wicks (calf) returned to practice on Wednesday, per Matt Schneidman of The Athletic. Wicks missed a good chunk of August with a calf injury, but it appears he has a chance to be ready for Week 1. The third-year wide receiver could slot in alongside Matthew Golden and Romeo Doubs as Green Bay's WR3 early in the season, with Jayden Reed (foot) questionable for Week 1 with a foot injury. Wicks is a talented player, but he struggled with drops and inconsistency in 2024, hauling in just 39 of his 76 targets. Wicks has some upside as a late-round dart-throw in deep leagues, but he would likely need multiple injuries in the Packers' wide receiver room to really take off in 2025.
