A.J. Brown Headshot

Patriots WR A.J. Brown is expected to miss 6 weeks with his high-ankle sprain, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. High-ankle sprains are generally 4- to 6-week injuries, so it sounds like Brown's is on the more significant side. That also adds more risk to his profile when he does make it back on the field, although hopefully the Patriots will give him time to get back to as close to 100% as possible. New England's bye isn't until Week 11, so Brown won't get any help there.
