A.J. Brown Sidelined Four Weeks With High Ankle Sprain

Patriots wide receiver A.J. Brown is expected to miss at least four weeks after suffering a high ankle sprain during Wednesday's loss to the Seahawks. An MRI confirmed the severity of the injury, which occurred when his ankle was rolled up on during an incompletion. While initial X-rays ruled out a fracture, the recovery timeline will keep him sidelined for the immediate future, potentially impacting his availability through the Week 5 matchup against the Buffalo Bills.
