The Washington Commanders’ playoff hopes took a hit on Dec. 11 as head coach Dan Quinn announced second-leading wide receiver Noah Brown could miss the rest of the season.

Quinn said Brown sustained a “significant internal injury” during a 42-19 win over the Tennessee Titans (3-10) on Dec. 1. It was later listed as a kidney injury. The Commanders (8-5) had a bye in Week 14 ahead of Sunday’s game at the New Orleans Saints (5-8).
