Yahoo Sports NFL on A.J. Brown
From the article
Brown went down on the opening drive of the second half, suffering a high ankle sprain that landed him on injured reserve on Friday. The 29-year-old will return this season, but he'll miss at least the next four games... 'What does he look like — OK, maybe it's four weeks, six weeks, whatever. Does he have to get that surgery where you're reattaching the ligament to the bone? The high ankles are not fun, and they can take a long, long time,' Perry said after ranking his concern level at a 9 out of 10.
STACKED’s take
High ankle sprain sidelines Brown for at least four games; Perry rates injury concern at 9/10.
Brown suffered a high ankle sprain on the opening drive of the second half in his Patriots debut on Wednesday night in Seattle, landing him on injured reserve on Friday. He will miss at least the next four games and return this season, but Patriots insider Phil Perry expressed major concern (9 out of 10) about whether Brown will require surgery reattaching the ligament to the bone and what type of player he'll be upon return. Perry questioned whether the Patriots will get the A.J. Brown they expected for the rest of 2026, noting that for a player acquired with a first-round pick for two years of elite production, being limited for a large portion of Year 1 is a major concern.
