Patriots takeaways: Updates on A.J. Brown, Mack Hollins, Hunter Henry and more
Key Points:
- Patriots coach Mike Vrabel indicated A.J. Brown might practice this week but gave no firm update on his status after Brown missed the recent game due to a knee injury linked to a degenerative condition.
- Wide receivers Mack Hollins and fullback Reggie Gilliam are eligible to be activated off injured reserve this week, though Vrabel said roster moves will depend on their readiness and team needs.
- Tight end Hunter Henry left the Miami game with a foot injury and his availability remains uncertain as he recovers and undergoes evaluation.
- Kicker Andy Borregales missed multiple short field goals recently, but Vrabel expressed confidence in him and did not indicate plans to bring in another kicker.
- The Patriots were flagged for seven penalties against the Dolphins, including four defensive offsides, which Vrabel acknowledged as an issue but not a major concern at this point.
