NBC Sports • • sports
Key Points:
- Weeks before trading A.J. Brown to the Patriots, the Rams considered acquiring him while potentially trading Davante Adams but decided against it due to concerns about Brown's lingering knee issue.
- Despite the knee concerns, the Patriots proceeded with the trade, and Brown's knee problem resurfaced this week, causing him to miss the Week 8 game against Miami.
- The knee issue is described as a "flare up," indicating it is an existing condition that worsened recently.
- Brown has also been dealing with a Week 1 ankle injury that placed him on injured reserve, limiting him to nine catches for 101 yards over three games this season, with no touchdowns.
