A.J. Brown Placed on IR With High-Ankle Sprain

New England Patriots wide receiver A.J. Brown has been placed on short-term injured reserve after suffering a high-ankle sprain in the third quarter of the season opener against Seattle. Brown is expected to miss approximately six weeks, leaving quarterback Drake Maye without his top target. Offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels noted the team will take an all-hands-on-deck approach, relying on players like Romeo Doubs, Kyle Williams, and TreVeyon Henderson to fill the massive offensive void.
