they have AJ Brown, who is currently on IR... I don't love a player uh of his age with a history of lower body injuries coming off of a high ankle sprain... CD Lamb told me last year, it can actually ruin your career if you don't uh rehab it right... And that's a guy that did come back pretty early from a high ankle sprain last year.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalInjury

High ankle sprain raises durability concerns; could be D-tier to C-tier impact depending on health.

Currently on injured reserve with a high ankle sprain for the New England Patriots. Matt Harmon expresses concern about his age combined with a history of lower body injuries coming off this injury. Harmon cites CD Lamb's warning that high ankle sprains can ruin careers if not properly rehabbed, noting Lamb returned early last year. Without Brown, the Patriots are a D-tier WR room; with him healthy, they could be C-tier if he approaches his prior Philadelphia production. Harmon gives some credence to his eventual contribution despite current unavailability, acknowledging he may return at some point during the season.
