A.J. Brown, the New England Patriots’ three-time Pro Bowl wide receiver, might be back on the field “sooner than later” after his high-ankle sprain. That’s the word from Tom Pelissero of The Ringer, who reported Saturday that things are looking seriously good for Brown.
The Rehab Report Is Looking 🔥
Pelissero dropped the news that Brown is absolutely flying through his rehab. We’re talking “continues to progress” and “everything seems to be trending in a positive direction.” For a high-ankle sprain, that’s not just good, that’s clutch. He’s still sitting on injured reserve, but this kind of update? It’s the green light every fan wants to hear.
Week 6 Showdown: Will He Be There?
So when could we actually see him? The earliest Brown could return is the Patriots’ Week 6 matchup against the New York Jets. Think about that: a division game, a chance for Brown to make a huge impact right away. The big question hanging in the air is whether New England lets him hit practice next week or if they play it safe and give him a little more time. It’s a tightrope walk for the coaching staff, trying to balance getting their star back versus ensuring he’s 100%.
All eyes are on New England for that Week 6 game against the Jets. Will Brown be out there tearing it up, making an immediate difference? Or will the Patriots hold him back just a bit longer? Either way, the fact that “sooner than later” is even on the table for a high-ankle sprain is massive for them. Get ready to see if this “positive direction” really means game day.
