Patriots wide receiver A.J. Brown won’t be practicing on Wednesday, and get this, it’s tied back to that Week 1 battle where our Seahawks handed him and his team a loss. Brown is dealing with both a knee injury and an ankle injury right now, with reports saying it’s the knee keeping him off the field today. It’s a tough look for the guy who’s barely seen the field this season.
That Week 1 Hit Against Our Hawks Lingers
Remember that Week 1 game? Yeah, turns out the damage from that day is still impacting Brown. He suffered an ankle injury early in that loss to Seattle, an injury that kept him sidelined for a whopping four weeks. Since then, he’s only managed to play in three games total this season, hauling in just nine passes for a meager 101 yards. That’s a far cry from what you’d expect from a top receiver, and it all traces back to that early season clash against our defense.
Vrabel Playing It Close to the Vest
When asked about Brown’s status, specifically if he might be headed to injured reserve, head coach Mike Vrabel was pretty tight-lipped. He didn’t offer up any real details, just saying, “I can just speak on today and where he’s at today and what we feel like he can do today. So, that’s why I said he wouldn’t be out there today.” Sounds like they’re taking it day-by-day, but the lack of a clear timeline or ruling out IR can’t be a good sign for Patriots fans. Adding to their injury woes, Christian Barmore and TreVeyon Henderson are also sitting out practice today.
It’s a rough situation for Brown and his squad, with that Week 1 injury sustained against our Emerald City Hawks casting a long shadow over his season. We’ll be watching to see when Brown can finally get back on the field, or if that Week 1 hit effectively derailed his entire year.
