Key Points:
- The 49ers rookie wide receiver left Thursday's game against the Rams in the second quarter due to an ankle injury; the Achilles was intact, but the severity of the ankle injury remains uncertain according to coach Kyle Shanahan.
- New England Patriots' star wide receiver A.J. Brown suffered a high ankle sprain during Wednesday's game against the Seattle Seahawks and is expected to miss at least four weeks, per NFL Network reports.
- Brown was injured in the third quarter, left the game in a walking boot, and had recorded three receptions for 26 yards before exiting.
- The Rams' highly anticipated defensive acquisition, the reigning two-time Defensive Player of the Year who set the NFL single-season sack record last season, had a quiet game with no recorded stats such as sacks, tackles, or quarterback hits.
- This underwhelming performance was disappointing for the Rams and their fans, especially given the premium price paid to acquire the player from the Cleveland Browns.
