It's still unclear what kind of injury and recovery Patriots receiver A.J. Brown is facing.
Brown went down with an ankle injury early in the third quarter of Wednesday's 13-10 loss to the Seahawks to open the 2026 season and did not return.
"I don’t have any update yet," head coach Mike Vrabel said postgame. "Wasn't able to return, obviously."
Brown was injured on an incomplete pass from Drake Maye on third down. The ball was low, leading to Seahawks cornerback Nehemiah Pritchett landing awkwardly on Brown’s lower leg/ankle area as he broke up the pass.
Brown stayed down for a bit before trainers came to assist him. He limped off the field and was examined in the sideline medical tent before limping up to the locker room for further examination.
Brown’s Patriots debut ended with him catching three passes on four targets for 26 yards.
