Patriots WR A.J. Brown missed practice on Thursday with a knee issue that "flared up," according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Brown has a long history of knee trouble and was reportedly flagged with a degenerative condition this offseason by the Rams, who were interested in trading for him. Brown's status for Sunday's game vs. the Dolphins is now "up in the air," Rapoport adds. His absence would leave Demario Douglas, Kyle Williams, and Efton Chism as New England's top 3 WRs. We'll keep you updated on Brown leading up to kickoff.
