Patriots receiver A.J. Brown sustains ankle injury against Seattle Seahawks

New England Patriots wide receiver A.J. Brown suffered a right ankle injury during the third quarter of the team's game against the Seattle Seahawks in Seattle. The injury occurred after a pass attempt from Drake Maye was broken up, resulting in Brown being hit by a defender and landing awkwardly on his leg. Medical professionals observing the broadcast noted potential for a high ankle sprain or PCL injury, while discounting an initial fear of a fibula fracture. Brown left the field gingerly and later walked to the locker room for evaluation, though the team had not yet officially ruled him out for the remainder of the contest. The Patriots, who led by 10 points early in the second half, must now rely on other receivers including Romeo Doubs, Pop Douglas, Kyle Williams, and Mack Hollins to finish the game.
