Who Should I Start? Robbie Chosen or Ja'Corey Brooks

Tuesday, September 30, 1:51 PM

The Washington Commanders are signing veteran wide receiver Robbie Chosen to their practice squad on Tuesday, a source told ESPN's Adam Schefter. Chosen will give Washington some more receiver depth going into Week 5 against the Los Angeles Chargers, with both Terry McLaurin (quadriceps) and Noah Brown (groin, knee) up in the air to play this weekend. The 32-year-old pass-catcher failed to stick around with the San Francisco 49ers despite all their injured bodies, and he might not stick around for long if McLaurin and Brown can return soon. Chosen, a nine-year NFL veteran, has bounced around the league in recent years and has played in only 11 games the last two years with the Miami Dolphins, catching five of 10 targets for 131 yards and one touchdown. Second-year wideout Luke McCaffrey has benefited the most the last two weeks with McLaurin injured.

Washington Commanders wide receiver Ja'Corey Brooks led the team in receiving in their first preseason game against the Patriots, catching all five targets for 59 yards. The 2025 undrafted free agent stepped in to play the majority of the second half and made the most of his opportunity. Brooks, a former five-star recruit out of high school, played at Alabama before transferring to Louisville for a season. He has good size at 6'2", 190 pounds, and posted over 1,000 yards and nine touchdowns in his final collegiate season. However, his poor athletic testing dragged him down in the draft process. With the Terry McLaurin contract situation and the state of the Commanders' receiver room, there is an opportunity for Brooks to make the roster as the sixth receiver. He'll need to continue to stack positive days at practice as well as produce when the lights come on for him to have a chance.
