Patriots WR A.J. Brown expected to miss at least 4 weeks with high ankle sprain
Key Points:
- New England Patriots wide receiver A.J. Brown suffered a high ankle sprain during their loss to the Seattle Seahawks, confirmed by an MRI, and is expected to miss at least four weeks.
- Brown sustained the injury in the third quarter and left the game wearing a walking boot; he had three receptions for 26 yards before exiting.
- The Patriots may place Brown on injured reserve, which would sideline him for a minimum of four games, potentially returning around Week 6 against the New York Jets.
- The Patriots lost the game 13-10 after a late Seahawks rally, with quarterback Drake Maye throwing a crucial interception and receiver Romeo Doubs struggling with drops.
- Seattle quarterback Sam Darnold also suffered a hip injury early in the game but is expected to recover sooner, as it is a muscle strain rather than a fracture.
