The New England Patriots are placing wide receiver A.J. Brown on injured reserve after he suffers a high-ankle sprain, multiple outlets report. The move is expected to sideline him for a minimum of four games.
Sources agree that Brown’s injury will keep him out early in the season, with at least several weeks expected to pass before he can return. The reported timeline overlaps across coverage, though outlets vary slightly in wording—some frame it as missing at least four games, while others describe him as likely to miss at least four weeks. One report characterizes the injury specifically as a high ankle sprain, and others echo that description while emphasizing the expected duration.
Overall, the outlets provide consistent information on both the roster decision (injured reserve) and the injury type (high-ankle sprain), with the main difference being how they describe the length of the absence.
