Texans wide receiver Noah Brown is expected to be activated off injured reserve for Sunday’s game against the visiting New Orleans Saints, according to a report Saturday from KPRC 2 in Houston.
Brown, 27, was placed on injured reserve on Sept. 13 with a groin injury. On Wednesday, he was designated to return from IR, opening up a three-week window for Brown to practice with the team before being added to the 53-man roster.
Brown participated in three full practices this week.
He hasn’t played in a game since he had three receptions for 20 yards in Week 1 at Baltimore. Brown played 52 snaps in the 25-9 loss to the Ravens.
Selected by the Dallas Cowboys in the seventh round of the 2017 NFL Draft, Brown signed with the Texans as a free agent this past offseason. He had a career-best 43 receptions for 555 yards as the Cowboys’ No. 2 wide receiver in 2022.
In total, Brown has 85 receptions for 1,000 yards in 67 games (18 starts) with the Cowboys and Texans.
