Patriots evaluate roster after loss to Seahawks and Brown injury

The New England Patriots look ahead to their home opener against the Pittsburgh Steelers after falling to the Seattle Seahawks 13-10 last Wednesday. New England held a 10-0 advantage in the second half before conceding 13 unanswered points, including three fourth-quarter interceptions thrown by Drake Maye. The team also faces a significant personnel challenge as wide receiver A.J. Brown moves to injured reserve with a high-ankle sprain expected to sideline him for at least four weeks. Players and coaching staff expressed a focus on execution moving forward, noting the loss was a single game in a long season. With Brown out, the team anticipates a larger role for Kyle Williams, while corner back Christian Gonzalez enters the next stretch of the season following his recent contract extension.
