Noah Brown carted off field at minicamp in Commanders injury concern
The Commanders' receiving corps could be getting thinner. Wide receiver Noah Brown was carted off the field after going down during a 7-on-7 drill at minicamp Wednesday, according to multiple reporters. Brown, 29, made a catch on the ground, stayed down and then slowly walked to the sideline before getting carted into Washington's facility, The Athletic reported. Advertisement He reportedly threw his helmet after he was helped to the sideline, according to the Washington Post, but there is no word on the nature of the injury or how long he could be out. Commanders wide receiver Noah Brown at day one of minicamp Wednesday. Geoff Burke-Imagn Images In his first season with Washington last year, Brown made 35 receptions for 453 yards and one touchdown in 11 games before suffering a season-ending kidney injury. Advertisement The one touchdown was a memorable one: a game-winning 52-yard Hail Mary catch to steal a thrilling 18-15 victory from the Bears in Week 8. The news of Brown's injury comes as Washington finds itself in a contract dispute with star receiver Terry McLaurin, who did not attend the last two weeks of voluntary OTAs and is now skipping minicamp as he seeks a new deal. Commanders wide receiver Noah Brown hauling in a 52-yard Hail Mary in an 18-15 win over the Bears on Oct. 27, 2024. AP McLaurin, a two-time Pro-Bowler, also held out of OTAs and minicamp before he last signed an extension in 2022. Advertisement The Commanders must now make do with a shorthanded wide receiver group through the rest of minicamp, although the severity of Brown's injury remains to be seen. The team will hope that both Brown and McLaurin will be back with the team by July 23, when veterans report for training camp. Brown — who spent five seasons with the Cowboys (2017-22) and one with the Texans (2023) before arriving in D.C. — had figured to be the third receiver for the Commanders this year, behind McLaurin and Deebo Samuel, whom Washington acquired via trade in March.

DeMarcus Cousins Suspended for Season After Altercation With Fan
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Former NBA All-Star center and lottery pick DeMarcus Cousins has been suspended from the Puerto Rican basketball league after an altercation with a fan. More NBA news: Former NBA All-Star Believes Thunder Resemble Prime Warriors Team The National Superior Basketball Association announced the following sanctions and fines for Cousins. "Guaynabo Mets player DeMarcus Cousins has been suspended for the remainder of the 2025 season and fined $4,250 for a disqualifying foul, a technical foul, and acts that incite violence or provocation. "In addition, the player must show cause why he should not be fined an additional $5,750, given the seriousness of the incident. "In view of the above, the player faces fines of up to $10,000."

Dwight Howard #39 of the Philadelphia 76ers and DeMarcus Cousins #15 of the Houston Rockets speak before playing at Wells Fargo Center on February 17, 2021 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Photo byThe incident, which took place on Monday, saw Cousins confront a fan courtside. He was eventually ejected, and as he returned to the locker room, fans threw drinks at him, which led him to confront some of the fans. The 34-year-old signed with the Guaynabo Mets in late April for the 2025 season. He had played with the team in 2023 and was sensational. In that season, Cousins averaged 20.4 points, 10.9 rebounds and 4.5 assists per game in 25.4 minutes per game. He shot 44 percent from three and 69 percent from the charity stripe in free throws. As for this season, Cousins was great, averaging 18.2 points per game, nine rebounds, 4.7 assists, and 1.4 blocks in 10 games played this season. Cousins, a four-time All-Star and two-time All-NBA selection, spent 11 seasons in the league. Over the course of 654 regular season games, he suited up for the Sacramento Kings, New Orleans Pelicans, Golden State Warriors, Houston Rockets, LA Clippers, Milwaukee Bucks, and Denver Nuggets. A former standout at Kentucky, Cousins put together a strong NBA resume, averaging 19.6 points, 10.2 rebounds, 3.0 assists, 1.3 steals, and 1.1 blocks per game on .460/.331/.737 shooting splits. The Kings made him the No. 5 overall pick in the 2010 NBA Draft, and early in his career, he looked like a franchise cornerstone. But injuries changed the course of his journey — most notably a torn left Achilles tendon in 2018 during his first full season with the Pelicans. That injury marked a turning point. His production declined, and he never fully regained his dominant form. From that point on, he became somewhat of a journeyman, struggling to find long-term footing with any team. At 34, Cousins could still have something left in the tank, but teams across the league have been reluctant to take a chance.
