The Houston Texans are getting some reinforcements this week. According to a report from (*6*), the Texans will activate broad receiver Noah Brown from injured reserve forward in their Week 6 game in opposition to the New Orleans Saints.
Brown has been on IR since Week 1, when he suffered a groin damage in opposition to the Baltimore Ravens. He opened the season because the Texans’ beginning slot receiver, taking part in 68% of the workforce’s snaps and catching 3 of four goals for 20 yards sooner than struggling the damage. In his absence, the Texans have leaned on Nico Collins, Robert Woods and rookie Tank Dell of their three-receiver units.
After logging 3 practices this week, Brown will go back to the lineup on Sunday.
“Yeah, he’s out there working,” Texans offensive coordinator Bobby Slowik stated of Brown on Thursday, per the KPRC 2 report. “Noah, I think we said in camp, he was the most consistent player we had probably through all of camp, and I would say that carried over even this week. He’s doing everything he can. He’s working his tail off to get back.”
Dell, in the meantime, could also be at risk of lacking the Week 6 game as he has but to development out of the concussion protocol after maintaining a head damage ultimate week in opposition to the Texans.
“Yeah, it’s tough,” Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud stated of Dell’s damage. “I wish Tank was out there, man. He’s definitely one of our best receivers. Great player, and me and him have a special, special future to come, but just like somebody goes down, next man up. Somebody else has got to be ready and I feel like we answered the bell when it came to that on Sunday, and now we’ve got to do it again.”
If Dell is certainly out, it seems like Brown and second-year wideout John Metchie III would be the ones who’re counted on for extra snaps.
