A.J. Brown shows improvement in recovery from ankle injury

New England Patriots wide receiver A.J. Brown is reported to be moving around "pretty well" following a high ankle sprain sustained in Week 1. ESPN's Adam Schefter mentioned Brown's recovery timeline could be closer to six weeks, though he remains on injured reserve with a minimum absence of four weeks. The Patriots offense has struggled in his absence, with quarterback Drake Maye having thrown one touchdown and four interceptions through two games. Brown recorded three catches for 26 yards before being injured against the Seattle Seahawks. Meanwhile, Romeo Doubs stepped up with three receptions for 96 yards in their last game against the Pittsburgh Steelers, indicating the need for continued strong performances from other players until Brown returns.
