A.J. Brown injury adds to Patriots’ season-opening loss
New England wide receiver A.J. Brown left the Patriots’ 13–10 defeat by Seattle with an ankle injury, with its severity not immediately known.
A.J. Brown’s Patriots debut ended early after the wide receiver suffered an ankle injury during the third quarter of New England’s 13–10 season-opening loss to the Seattle Seahawks.
Brown was assessed after the injury and did not return. The severity of the injury, its diagnosis and a recovery timeline were not immediately known, leaving his availability for New England’s next game unresolved.
The Patriots had led by 10 points before Seattle scored 13 unanswered points to overturn the deficit. Quarterback Drake Maye threw three interceptions, including a late turnover that sealed the result.
Yahoo Sports reported that Brown made three catches for 26 yards before leaving the game. New England is scheduled to host the Pittsburgh Steelers on 20 September.
Seattle also lost quarterback Sam Darnold early to a hip injury. His diagnosis and recovery timeline were likewise unconfirmed in the supplied material.
