- A.J. Brown will miss at least four weeks with a high-ankle sprain suffered in the Patriots’ season opener and is doubtful for Week 2 after leaving in the third quarter following contact with Seahawks CB Nehemiah Pritchett.
- The injury is a big blow — Brown was New England’s prized offseason addition (they gave up a first- and fifth-round pick) and was expected to replace Stefon Diggs as the No. 1 receiver.
- Before exiting he had three catches for 26 yards and drew a defensive pass interference that set up the Patriots’ only touchdown; coach Mike Vrabel says the team will firm up a treatment plan after imaging.
