A.J. Brown's Patriots debut ended with an ankle injury in the first half. On a third-down incomplete pass with Drake Maye throwing in his direction and Seahawks cornerback Nehemiah Pritchett in tight coverage, Pritchett's right knee appeared to land on Brown's ankle with the force of his body weight. Brown grabbed for the back of his right leg as he sat up, was initially listed as questionable to return, but the Patriots downgraded him to out at the start of the fourth quarter.

WR A.J. Brown showed a significantly improved version of himself during joint practices this week, turning back the clock two years on the practice field. Last season, Brown looked slower and less athletic, averaging just 57.2 yards per game over his last four games and culminating in a disastrous performance in the Birds' NFC Wild Card loss to the 49ers with just three catches for 25 yards, multiple drops, and a screaming match with his head coach. However, in these two joint practices, he appeared to regain his athleticism and started winning the one-on-one battles he had grown accustomed to winning.
