Brown's high-ankle sprain sidelines him four games; Hollins benefits.

Brown was placed on injured reserve with a high-ankle sprain and will miss the next four games, with the soonest return being Week 6 when the Patriots host the Jets. Reports indicate Brown will not require surgery. Mack Hollins stands to benefit in snap rate and route participation, though slot-man DeMario Douglas led the team in route rate in Week 1. Second-year receiver Kyle Williams could grow into the offense as a deep threat.
