Why Did Commanders WR Dyami Brown Barely Play vs. Bears?

Washington Commanders wide receiver Dyami Brown scored two touchdowns against the Tennessee Titans. Yet, he only played three snaps the next game against the Chicago Bears.

Washington Commanders wide receiver Dyami Brown is a week removed from the greatest moment of his football life.

The second-year pro had a pair of touchdowns in the Commanders' loss against the Tennessee Titans. Brown started in place of rookie Jahan Dotson, who missed the game with a hamstring injury. Dotson also missed Thursday's win against the Chicago Bears, but Brown didn't play as much of a role days after his career game.

Here's a look at the offense's snap counts from Thursday's game ...

Player	Snaps	Percentage
Andrew Norwell, G	57	100
Saahdiq Charles, G	57	100
Cornelius Lucas, OT	57	100
Charles Leno Jr., OT	57	100
Tyler Larsen, C	57	100
Carson Wentz, QB	57	100
Terry McLaurin, WR	56	98
Cole Turner, TE	53	93
Curtis Samuel, WR	49	86
Cam Sims, WR	41	72
Brian Robinson Jr., RB	27	47
Armani Rogers, TE	18	32
J.D. McKissic, RB	17	30
Antonio Gibson, RB	15	26
Dax Milne, WR	6	11
Dyami Brown, WR	3	5

Instead of Brown, it was veteran Cam Sims who acted as the team's third wide receiver, playing in 41 offensive snaps (72%) compared to Brown's three snaps (5%).

The Commanders still snuck out a win against the Bears, but it's a little puzzling as to why Brown got so little playing time after a breakout performance. Perhaps there may have been an injury or Sims practiced better throughout the week, but it leads to a lot of questions behind the team's decision-making process if Brown was healthy.
