STACKED’s take

Negative signalInjury

A.J. Brown placed on IR with high-ankle sprain; out minimum four games.

Placed on injured reserve with a high-ankle sprain suffered in Week 1 season opener; will miss at least four games (Weeks 2–5 vs. Steelers, Jaguars, Bills, Raiders). High-ankle sprains typically require 4–6 weeks recovery; even in best-case scenario of three-week recovery, risk of returning to game action quickly would outweigh reward. Patriots prioritizing his availability for playoff stretch rather than rushing him back for Week 5 Raiders matchup.
