From the episode

A.J. Brown is not fully healthy... any time they asked him to run a comeback or a curl, and his deacceleration at the top of his routes were choppy footwork, he's not sharp. Like, he's not fully healthy coming off the ankle and stuff like that... I kind of questioned what New England was doing as far as his usage and stuff like that. But I think we're going to see a few more down games for A.J. Brown until he is fully healthy.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalInjury

A.J. Brown's ankle injury limits route sharpness; expect more down games until healthy.

A.J. Brown had another down game on Thursday night. Derek Brown observed that any time Brown was asked to run a comeback or curl route, his deacceleration at the top of his routes showed choppy footwork and he's not sharp. Brown is not fully healthy coming off the ankle injury. Derek Brown expects to see a few more down games for A.J. Brown until he is fully healthy. Additionally, New England's usage was questionable—running him on comebacks and curls when they should know the ankle is an issue and use him on end breakers, slants, and other routes that don't require sharp deceleration.
