Patriots receiver A.J. Brown sustains ankle injury in season opener
Patriots wide receiver A.J. Brown left the game with an ankle injury and has not returned, with coach Mike Vrabel saying no update is available on his condition.
Patriots wide receiver A.J. Brown was forced out of the team's 13-10 loss to the Seattle Seahawks after sustaining an ankle injury early in the third quarter. The injury occurred on an incomplete pass from quarterback Drake Maye, when Seahawks cornerback Nehemiah Pritchett landed awkwardly on Brown's lower leg while breaking up the play. Brown remained on the field briefly before trainers assisted him, and he later limped to the locker room for further evaluation. He finished his Patriots debut with three receptions on four targets for 26 yards. > "I don’t have any update yet," head coach Mike Vrabel said after the game. "Wasn’t able to return, obviously."
