Ian Rapoport (@RapSheet): #Patriots WR AJ Brown, who left last night's opener because of an injury, is believed to have suffered a high-ankle sprain, per me and @MikeGarafolo. X-Rays were negative for a fracture. Brown has an MRI today to determine how much time he'll miss.
X-rays were negative for a fracture, and the preliminary diagnosis is a high-ankle sprain — an injury that typically carries a multi-week recovery, though the exact timeline remains TBD until the MRI results come back.
Brown was ruled out of the opener after leaving the game, and New England ultimately fell 13-10 to Seattle. The wideout was expected to anchor the Patriots' passing game this season after his arrival in New England, making the severity of the sprain and the MRI outcome a central question for the offense as it prepares for its Week 2 matchup.
