From the article

Brown got off to a slow start in Wednesday night's game against Seattle, and his night ended early after he suffered a high ankle sprain. The injury appears significant, as the Patriots have placed Brown on IR, guaranteeing he'll miss at least 4 weeks...but it sounds like it will be more. The expectation is Patriots WR AJ Brown will miss the next 6 weeks

STACKED’s take

A.J. Brown out until Week 8 with high ankle sprain; hold if IR spot available.

A.J. Brown suffered a high ankle sprain in Week 1 against Seattle and was placed on IR by the Patriots, expected to miss 6 weeks and return in Week 8. While high ankle sprains are historically more limiting for running backs than wide receivers in fantasy production, there is significant variability; WRs who missed >4 weeks with high ankle sprains saw greater improvements in target share and snap % than those who returned in 4 weeks or under, suggesting potential upside upon return but substantial near-term impact from time missed.
