New video reveals potentially positive injury news for Commanders
When Brown went down with an injury, head coach Dan Quinn offered no update. And since it was the offseason, the Commanders weren't required to provide injury updates. However, one team insider said he didn't believe the injury was serious, and Brown was at an event in his hometown after the injury and appeared fine.
Here's the Instagram video showing Brown working out and preparing for training camp.
The 6-foot-2, 225-pound Brown was claimed by the Commanders off waivers last August after he was surprisingly let go by the Houston Texans. Brown immediately made his impact felt for Washington, developing a strong rapport with quarterback Jayden Daniels and establishing himself as one of his top receivers. Brown will forever be remembered for being on the receiving end of Daniels' Hail Mary to shock the Chicago Bears as time expired.
Unfortunately, Brown suffered a kidney injury in Week 13 and was lost for the season. He finished his first year in Washington with 34 receptions for 453 yards and one touchdown. He was also among the league leaders in drawing defensive pass interference penalties.
The Commanders re-signed Brown to a one-year contract this offseason. While he will not serve as Washington's No. 2 receiver this season due to the addition of Deebo Samuel, he figures to remain a significant part of Kliff Kingsbury's offense.

Mariners' Josh Naylor sets insane Seattle stolen bases record in just 4 games after trade
No, you didn't misread that headline. Josh Naylor just set a Seattle Mariners stolen base record. Yeah, 250-pound first baseman Josh Naylor. In Naylor's first four games with the Mariners, he has stolen four bases. He didn't swipe one in his debut, then has gone 1-2-1 in the last three games. He's the first player in Seattle franchise history to steal four bases across his first four games with the team, according to the Mariners. Who knew the Mariners were getting such a speedster from the Diamondbacks in their trade? Naylor isn't a total shock as a base runner. He was 11-for-13 on steal attempts in Arizona this season, which was already a career-high for him in SBs. But to go four steals in four games right off the bat? That's quite the initiation. MORE: New York Mets on insane win streak thanks to Backyard Baseball legend Pablo Sanchez Smart base runners have gotten better and better at using that to steal second even if they aren't the fastest player around. Mariners catcher Cal Raleigh has double-digit steals this season, too. Naylor is probably energized by the chance to join a winning ballclub and compete for a playoff spot, too. He's doing what it takes to contribute to the Mariners, and so far, that means taking off and swiping an extra base.
