- Despite the injury, Brown reassured teammates that he would be fine, maintaining a positive attitude postgame, according to teammates Romeo Doubs and Kevin Byard.
- Without Brown, the Patriots struggled offensively, with reserve wideout Mack Hollins stepping up but the team ultimately losing 13-10; Hollins had three second-half catches including a key fourth-down conversion.
- Coach Mike Vrabel did not provide an injury update immediately after the game but is expected to address Brown’s status during a Thursday press conference.
- The Patriots’ next game is their home opener against the Steelers on September 20, with concerns about their receiver depth heading into that matchup.
