The Houston Texans placed wide receiver Noah Brown on injured reserve Monday.
Brown sustained a shoulder injury in the first quarter of Saturday’s 45-14 wild-card victory against Cleveland.
He walked off the field gingerly after a collision with Browns safety Juan Thornhill but did not return.
Brown, 28, caught 33 passes for 567 yards and two touchdowns in 10 games (seven starts) this season.
He has 115 receptions for 1,547 yards and five scores in 76 games (25 starts) with the Texans and Dallas Cowboys (2017-22), who drafted him in the seventh round in 2017.
