Brown admits the ankle is not where he wants it to be
Boston Sports Journal • • sports
Key Points:
- Since returning from a high-ankle sprain, A.J. Brown has not regained the explosiveness and physicality he showed in training camp against Christian Gonzalez.
- Despite his injury, Brown has played significant snaps—49 of 53 against the Bears and 52 of 68 against the Jets—due to limited wide receiver depth from injuries to Romeo Doubs and Mack Hollins.
- Head coach Mike Vrabel emphasized the necessity of having their best players on the field despite injuries, highlighting the team's thin wide receiver roster.
- Brown has struggled to produce statistically, with only 9 catches on 21 targets, no touchdowns, and no successful vertical routes in over 10 quarters this season.
- Brown acknowledges his ongoing adjustment process but remains committed to competing and improving as he continues to recover.
