Patriots Place Wide Receiver A.J. Brown on Injured Reserve

The New England Patriots placed wide receiver A.J. Brown on injured reserve with a high-ankle sprain, requiring him to miss at least four games against the Steelers, Jaguars, Bills, and Raiders. Brown recorded three receptions for 26 yards and drew a key 34-yard pass interference penalty in a loss to the Seahawks. Veteran Mack Hollins and second-year receiver Kyle Williams will take over at the X receiver spot.
