A.J. Brown’s “disappointing first year” as a Patriot hit another painful snag today. The star wide receiver limped off the field in Germany with a hamstring injury, forcing him out of a rough game against the Lions.
Another Tough Break for Brown
Brown’s exit happened in the fourth quarter. Before he went down, he only managed two catches for 27 yards. Initially, the Patriots called him questionable to return, but they quickly ruled him out for good. Honestly, with the Lions already up 28-10 and only ten minutes left on the clock, it was tough to imagine him coming back anyway. This just piles on to what the source called a “disappointing first year” for him in New England.
Injury Bug Bites Hard in Germany
Brown wasn’t the only one feeling the pain today. Patriots quarterback Drake Maye got knocked out of the game too, suffering an ankle injury after Aidan Hutchinson sacked him. And in a bizarre turn, Hutchinson himself ended up sidelined with a knee injury while celebrating that very sack. Talk about a rough day for everyone involved.
This latest injury is a huge blow, certainly not helping Brown turn around his tough inaugural season with the Patriots. With Maye also going down, it looks like New England has a really challenging road ahead.
