Noah Brown has signed with the Las Vegas Raiders, as announced by the team on Sunday. This addition to the receiving corps required the release of defensive tackle Benito Jones to make room on the roster.
Brown, who previously played for the Dallas Cowboys, has faced challenges in his career, particularly with injuries that caused him to miss 19 games during his time with the Washington Commanders. However, when healthy, he demonstrated his potential, achieving 40 receptions for 536 yards and one touchdown, averaging 13.4 yards per catch.
Drafted in the seventh round of the 2017 NFL Draft after his time at Ohio State, Brown became known for his reliability. In the 2022 season with the Cowboys, he caught 43 passes for 555 yards and three touchdowns.
Following his stint in Dallas, he had a productive season with the Houston Texans, recording 33 receptions for 567 yards and two touchdowns, averaging 17.2 yards per reception.
While the Raiders do not expect Brown to be the primary offensive target, his experience and physicality may provide valuable support to their receiving rotation. This move represents a new opportunity for Brown to advance his NFL career after facing setbacks due to injuries.
