Commanders Activate Noah Brown and DeMarcus Walker Ahead of Vikings Matchup

The Washington Commanders have activated wide receiver Noah Brown and defensive end DeMarcus Walker ahead of their crucial Week 14 matchup against the Minnesota Vikings. According to Pro Football Talk, Brown returns after being sidelined since Week 2 due to groin and knee injuries.

He had three catches for 36 yards in the first two games of the season and recorded 35 catches for 453 yards with a touchdown in the previous season. This activation follows the return of Terry McLaurin, who made a significant impact last week after recovering from a quad injury.

Additionally, the Commanders waived wide receiver Chris Moore to make room for Brown on the roster, as noted by Hogs Haven. Moore started five games this season, contributing 10 catches for 192 yards and one touchdown, but has been overshadowed by other options in Washington's receiving corps.

The team aims to leverage these roster adjustments to improve their performance, even as playoff hopes remain dim. They also elevated Walker from the practice squad, further bolstering their defensive line for the game against Minnesota.
