A.J. Brown placed on injured reserve with high-ankle sprain; out 4-6 weeks

A.J. Brown suffered a high-ankle sprain in the Patriots' season-opening loss to Seattle on Wednesday and has been placed on injured reserve. Testing confirmed the diagnosis with a projected recovery timeline of four to six weeks, meaning he will miss at least the next four games against the Steelers, Jaguars, Bills, and Raiders. Brown was immediately installed as a starting perimeter receiver after being traded from Philadelphia and showed solid chemistry with quarterback Drake Maye in training camp, catching three passes for 26 yards on 30 of the team's first 34 offensive snaps before the injury occurred on his 31st snap.
