Patriots wide receiver A.J. Brown exits game with suspected high-ankle sprain
A.J. Brown left the Patriots’ 13-10 loss to Seattle after injuring his ankle, and doctors will perform an MRI to assess the injury.
Patriots wide receiver A.J. Brown was forced out of the third quarter of Wednesday night’s 13-10 defeat to the Seattle Seahawks after injuring his ankle while attempting a catch from quarterback Drake Maye. The team did not provide an injury update after the game, and NFL Media reported on Thursday that the injury is initially believed to be a high-ankle sprain. Brown is scheduled for an MRI on Thursday to determine the severity of the sprain and estimate his return timeline.
During his brief appearance, Brown recorded three receptions for 26 yards and drew a 34-yard pass-interference penalty that set up New England’s sole touchdown before his departure. If he remains sidelined, the Patriots will look to receivers Romeo Doubs, Pop Douglas, Mack Hollins, Kyle Williams and Efton Chism for additional depth.
