Key Points:
- New England Patriots wide receiver A.J. Brown suffered an ankle injury in the third quarter of their season opener against the Seattle Seahawks and was ruled out for the remainder of the game.
- Brown had three catches for 23 yards and made key plays before his injury, including drawing a defensive pass-interference penalty that helped set up a touchdown.
- Patriots coach Mike Vrabel provided no update on Brown’s injury status after the game, but ankle injuries typically require a few weeks of recovery.
- With Brown sidelined, Romeo Doubs became the Patriots' top receiver but struggled, failing to catch any of his three targets and dropping a crucial pass in the fourth quarter.
- The Patriots' quarterback, Drake Maye, threw three interceptions during the game, including one immediately following Doubs’ drop.
