NFL Insider Drops Good and Bad News on Patriots’ A.J. Brown Injury
The injury could sideline Brown for six weeks after the Patriots posted the sideline clip, which drew 5.5 million views in under 12 hours.
- NFL Network insider Ian Rapoport reported on Sunday that wide receiver A.J. Brown is expected to miss six weeks with a high ankle sprain suffered in the New England Patriots' 13-10 season-opening loss to the Seattle Seahawks.
- Before the injury, a viral video showed Brown yelling at his offensive linemen on the bench, telling them to 'hold up' so the receivers could score—a clip the Patriots officially included on their YouTube channel.
- Brown's absence forces the offense to adjust, with second-year receiver Efton Chism III joining the 48-man game-day roster while 2025 third-round pick Kyle Williams and veteran Romeo Doubs expect increased playing time.
- The Patriots moved Brown to injured reserve Saturday, confirming he will miss at least four games against the Pittsburgh Steelers, Jacksonville Jaguars, Buffalo Bills, and Raiders.
- While no surgery is planned, the estimated six-week recovery timeline suggests a potential return around late October, leaving the team to navigate a challenging early-season schedule without their top perimeter target.
